Clean Code Working Rules

Overview

A fixed set of rules for how code gets written and how the work is communicated. Follow every rule below for the whole task. They are not optional. Code written under these rules should pass clean-code-review with "No findings."; before showing a step, self-check the work against every rule here.

When to Use

• Writing new code, features, or tests in any repo
• Refactoring or extending existing code
• Any coding task where the user has asked for clean-code rules to be followed

Do not use for:

• Reviewing an existing diff and reporting findings - use clean-code-review
• Researching a library or pattern with no code to write yet - use finder
• Designing or planning before implementation - use plan-with-me
