name: Coding Conventions description: Automatically apply standard coding conventions when writing or modifying code. Use this skill when working with Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, PHP, or creating git commits. Triggers include writing new code, refactoring existing code, or committing changes in supported languages.
Coding Conventions
Supported Languages
- Python - PEP 8
- TypeScript - Google & Microsoft Style Guide
- JavaScript - Airbnb Style Guide
- Go - Effective Go & Google Style Guide
- PHP - PSR Standards
- Git Commits - Conventional Commits
Workflow
When writing or modifying code:
- Identify the language of the file being edited
- Read the appropriate convention file from
references/directory - Apply conventions consistently to naming, formatting, documentation, and organization

Git Commit Quick Reference
Follow Conventional Commits format:
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
Common types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore
Rules:
- Imperative present tense: "add" not "added"
- Lowercase subject, no period
- Keep subject under 50 characters
- Include

Priority Rules
- Project-specific conventions override language defaults
- Existing code style should be matched for consistency
- Automatic tools (ESLint, Prettier, gofmt) should be respected if configured
- Convention files provide the default standards
