Global Coding Style

This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on fundamental coding style principles and best practices that apply across all programming languages and frameworks, including SOLID, DRY, KISS, and YAGNI principles.

When to use this skill

• When writing or refactoring any code in any programming language
• When creating functions, classes, modules, or components in backend or frontend code
• When establishing or following naming conventions for variables, functions, and files
• When applying Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) to keep code focused
• When avoiding code duplication by extracting reusable logic (DRY principle)
• When choosing between simple and clever implementations (KISS principle)
• When deciding whether to add abstractions or features (YAGNI principle)
• When removing dead code, commented-out blocks, or unused imports
• When ensuring consistent formatting and indentation
• When writing meaningful, descriptive names that reveal intent
• When keeping functions small and focused on a single task
• When avoiding premature optimization or speculative generality
• When refactoring complex code into simpler, more maintainable structures
