Coding conventions that fill the gaps a project's own rules leave: naming, structure, immutability, types, error handling, layering. Use when starting a module, setting lint rules, refactoring to conventions, or onboarding.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Coding Standards

Apply consistent naming, structure, and patterns so code is readable and maintainable across the team.

## When to Activate

- Starting a new project or module
- Refactoring to match team conventions
- Setting up or updating lint/format/type-check rules
- Settling which conventions a codebase follows (reviewing a specific diff belongs to awesome-code-review)
- Onboarding: documenting or applying coding conventions
- Enforcing naming, formatting, or structural consistency

## Core principles

1. Readability first — Code is read more than written; clear names and structure beat clever tricks.
2. KISS — Simplest solution that works; avoid over-engineering and premature optimization.
3. DRY — Extract common logic into functions/modules; avoid copy-paste.
4. YAGNI — Don't build for speculative future needs; add complexity when required.
5. Immutability — Prefer const; avoid mutating arguments or shared state; use spread/copy where needed.

## Work Process (when applying standards)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add khasky/awesome-agent-skills/awesome-code-standards@sha256:ed97d50f50cbf5c8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.58ea4e8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
