coding-standards

Baseline cross-project coding conventions for naming, readability, immutability, and code-quality review. Use detailed frontend or backend skills for framework-specific patterns. Use when reviewing code quality or naming with no framework-specific skill that applies.

Quality

Content

50%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

Actionable and well-organized as a convention catalog, but badly bloated: it inlines large framework-specific sections (React, API design, testing) that its own scope boundaries push to other skills, and its one external reference points to a file that does not exist. The description's promise of a lean 'shared floor' is not honored by the body.

Suggestions

Cut the React Best Practices, API Design Standards, Performance, and Testing sections (or move them to reference files) so the body matches its own scope boundaries and stays under ~150 lines.

Remove the generic KISS/DRY/YAGNI/Readability bullet lists — they restate knowledge Claude already has — and keep only the project-specific GOOD/FAIL convention pairs that actually encode house style.

Fix the dangling reference to "rules/common/coding-style.md" (no such file in the bundle) and either add a short ordered review checklist under 'When to Activate' so the standards can be applied as a sequence when reviewing code.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is noticeably verbose: the KISS/DRY/YAGNI bullet lists ("Simplest solution that works", "Avoid over-engineering", "Don't build features before they're needed") restate concepts Claude already knows, and roughly 200 lines of React, Next.js, zod, and supabase material directly contradict the skill's own boundary ("Do not use this skill as the primary source for: React composition, hooks, or rendering patterns; backend architecture, API design"). Not 3 because the scope contradiction and known-concept padding go beyond a few trimmable passages; not 1 because the GOOD/FAIL code pairs do encode project-specific convention.

2 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, mostly executable TypeScript GOOD/FAIL example pairs cover naming, immutability, error handling, memoization, and code smells. Not 5 because several examples are non-executable stubs ("function getMarket(id: string): Promise<Market> { // Implementation }", "test('works', () => { })") and the API/validation examples depend on unstated project context (NextResponse, supabase).

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

"When to Activate" and the code-smell catalog give application structure, but there is no sequenced review procedure or checklist telling Claude how to apply the standards when reviewing code, and no validation checkpoints. Not 4 because the anchors at 4 and 5 require an ordered sequence with checkpoints, which a catalog of standards sections does not provide; not 2 because the activation criteria and scope boundaries do define when and where the guidance applies.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are clearly headed and navigable, but this is a ~550-line monolith with no bundle files (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ exist), while framework-specific content the skill itself defers to sibling skills is inlined and the body cites "rules/common/coding-style.md", which is absent from the bundle. Not 2 because the internal section structure is real and consistent; not 4 because content that clearly belongs in separate reference files is inlined and one referenced path dangles.

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description with explicit what/when structure, natural trigger phrases, and unusually good boundary guidance that redirects framework-specific work to sibling skills. The only gap is modest keyword coverage of common synonyms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists several concrete capability areas ("naming, readability, immutability, and code-quality review") plus explicit exclusions ("Use detailed frontend or backend skills for framework-specific patterns"), matching the 'several specific actions with minor gaps' anchor. Not 5 because it describes convention areas rather than action verbs, leaving coverage slightly abstract.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("Baseline cross-project coding conventions for naming, readability, immutability, and code-quality review") and when ("Use when reviewing code quality or naming with no framework-specific skill that applies") with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor. It is not 4 because the when-clause is fully explicit rather than merely present.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"Use when reviewing code quality or naming" plus "immutability" and "code-quality review" are natural phrases users would say, matching the 'good keyword coverage, a few natural terms missing' anchor. Not 5 because common synonyms like 'code style', 'best practices', 'refactoring', or 'linting' are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The description carves out a clear niche by actively redirecting framework-specific work ("Use detailed frontend or backend skills for framework-specific patterns") and conditioning activation on "no framework-specific skill that applies", giving minimal conflict risk. Not 4 because it goes beyond merely being distinct — it explicitly disambiguates against sibling skills.
