To build out this skill, add content covering:

Code Quality

• Naming conventions
• Function design
• Error handling patterns
• Testing approaches

Project Structure

• Directory organization
• Module patterns
• Configuration management

Workflow

• Git conventions
• Code review guidelines
• Documentation standards

References

Add detailed guides to references/:

• references/style-guide.md - Language-specific style guides
• references/patterns.md - Common design patterns
• references/testing.md - Testing strategies

Examples

Add working examples to examples/:

• examples/good-function.py - Well-structured function example
• examples/error-handling.js - Error handling patterns

Customization

Replace this scaffold content with your actual coding practices and preferences. Focus on patterns that:

1. You use repeatedly
2. Are non-obvious to a general LLM
3. Are specific to your tech stack or organization

Keep SKILL.md lean (1,500-2,000 words) and move detailed content to references/.
