Coding Agent Standards

Purpose

Use this skill to keep code changes predictable, reviewable, and safe.

Default Behavior

  1. Clarify the requested outcome and constraints before editing.
  2. Prefer small, focused changes over broad refactors.
  3. Preserve existing behavior unless a behavior change is requested.
  4. Keep naming, structure, and style consistent with nearby code.
  5. Add or update tests when behavior changes.

Implementation Checklist

  • Confirm the smallest viable file set to edit.
  • Handle edge cases and explicit failure paths.
  • Avoid speculative abstractions and dead code.
  • Add concise comments only where intent is not obvious.
  • Run available validation steps before finalizing.

Delivery Format

When reporting completion:

  • What changed (files and intent).
  • Why it changed (problem solved or risk reduced).
  • How it was verified (tests, checks, or manual validation).
  • Remaining risks, assumptions, or follow-ups.
