JavaScript/TypeScript Standards

Apply these standards when writing or reviewing JavaScript/TypeScript code.

Core Coding Standards

Language Features

• Use JavaScript with ES2022 features and Node.js (22+) ESM modules
• Use Node.js built-in modules and avoid external dependencies where possible
• Ask the user if you require any additional dependencies before adding them
• Always use async/await for asynchronous code

Code Quality

• Keep the code simple, readable, and maintainable
• Use descriptive variable and function names
• Do not add comments unless absolutely necessary, the code should be self-explanatory
• Never use null, always use undefined for optional values
