coding-standards
Baseline cross-project coding conventions for naming, readability, immutability, and code-quality review. Use detailed frontend or backend skills for framework-specific patterns.
npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill coding-standards --agent codex
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Coding Standards & Best Practices Baseline coding conventions applicable across projects. This skill is the shared floor, not the detailed framework playbook. - Use `frontend-patterns` for React, state, forms, rendering, and UI architecture. - Use `backend-patterns` or `api-design` for repository/service layers, endpoint design, validation, and server-specific concerns. - Use `rules/common/coding-style.md` when you need the shortest reusable rule layer instead of a full skill walkthrough. ## When to Activate - Starting a new project or module - Reviewing code for quality and maintainability - Refactoring existing code to follow conventions - Enforcing naming, formatting, or structural consistency - Setting up linting, formatting, or type-checking rules - Onboarding new contributors to coding conventions ## Scope Boundaries Activate this skill for: - descriptive naming - immutability defaults - readability, KISS, DRY, and YAGNI enforcement - error-handling expectations and code-smell review Do not use this skill as the primary source for: - React composition, hooks, or rendering patterns - backend architecture, API design, or database layering - domain-specific framework guidance
- When to Activate
- Scope Boundaries
- Code Quality Principles
- 1. Readability First
- 2. KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)
- 3. DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
- 4. YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It)
- TypeScript/JavaScript Standards
- Variable Naming
- Function Naming
- Immutability Pattern (CRITICAL)
- Error Handling
- Async/Await Best Practices
- Type Safety
What does the coding-standards skill do?
Baseline cross-project coding conventions for naming, readability, immutability, and code-quality review. Use detailed frontend or backend skills for framework-specific patterns.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill coding-standards --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mturac/everything-openai-codex, a repository with 84 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
