# Software Architecture Development Skill This skill provides guidance for quality focused software development and architecture. It is based on Clean Architecture and Domain Driven Design principles. ## Code Style Rules ### General Principles - **Early return pattern**: Always use early returns when possible, over nested conditions for better readability - Avoid code duplication through creation of reusable functions and modules - Decompose long (more than 80 lines of code) components and functions into multiple smaller components and functions. If they cannot be used anywhere else, keep it in the same file. But if file longer than 200 lines of code, it should be split into multiple files. - Use arrow functions instead of function declarations when possible ### Best Practices #### Library-First Approach - **ALWAYS search for existing solutions before writing custom code** - Check npm for existing libraries that solve the problem - Evaluate existing services/SaaS solutions - Consider third-party APIs for common functionality - Use libraries instead of writing your own utils or helpers. For example, use `cockatiel` instead of writing your own retry logic. - **When custom code IS jus

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.
