Cross-language coding conventions — naming, type safety, error handling, async, imports, SQL formatting, git commit format, complexity/size limits, security, and a pre-PR review checklist for Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Rust, and Go. Use when writing or reviewing code, setting a project's style baseline, answering "what's the convention for X", enforcing types/docstrings, formatting a SQL query or commit message, or running the pre-PR checklist. Language deep dives and tool configs live in…

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

A language-agnostic baseline for consistent, readable, secure code. This skill ships
inside a plugin you install in *your own* project — Python, TypeScript/JavaScript,
Rust, Go, or anything else. Apply the principles universally; use the language section
that matches the file at hand. The numeric thresholds here are **recommended defaults**
— tune them to your project and enforce them with your own linter/CI, not from memory.

## Core Principles (Universal)

1. **Readability counts** — code is read far more often than written.
2. **Explicit over implicit** — clear intent beats clever tricks.
3. **Simple over complex** — favor the straightforward solution.
4. **Consistency matters** — follow the existing patterns in the codebase you're in.
5. **Single responsibility** — one module/class/function does one thing well.

## Naming Conventions (by language)

| Element | Python | TypeScript/JS | Rust | Go |
|---------|--------|---------------|------|-----|
| Files/modules | `snake_case.py` | `kebab-case.ts` / `camelCase.ts` | `snake_case.rs` | `snake_case.go` |
| Types/Classes | `PascalCase` | `PascalCase` | `PascalCase` | `PascalCase` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nxtg-ai/forge-plugin/Coding Standards@sha256:eeb770e33e149dd1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.857b62e, 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.
