Which programming languages are supported by this skill?

This skill currently provides specialized conventions and best practices for TypeScript, Python (following PEP-8), and Java.

How does the skill handle code complexity?

It enforces strict structural limits, including a maximum of 50 lines per function, 200 lines per file, and a nesting depth limit of 3 levels using the Early Return Pattern.

Does it support Python's PEP-8 standards?

Yes, it includes specific PEP-8 requirements such as 79-character line lengths, 4-space indentation, and specific import ordering rules.

Why does the skill discourage names like 'utils' or 'helpers'?

These are considered anti-patterns because they often become 'catch-all' files that lack clear responsibility, making the codebase harder to navigate and maintain.

Developer Tools

Enforces professional coding styles, naming conventions, and structural best practices across TypeScript, Python, and Java projects.

The Code Conventions skill transforms Claude into a specialized code quality auditor that ensures your codebase remains readable, maintainable, and consistent. By applying strict architectural principles like the Early Return Pattern and enforcing specific size limits—such as a 50-line maximum for functions and 200 lines for classes—this skill prevents the accumulation of technical debt and 'God functions.' It provides comprehensive, language-specific guidance for TypeScript, Python (PEP-8), and Java, covering everything from naming patterns and import ordering to the elimination of generic utility files and magic numbers.
