# Coding Agent Standards

This skill provides a complete set of coding agent standards that should be internalized and followed during every coding task.

## Structure

### Core
- **AGENTS.md** — Role definition and core principles (understand before changing, minimal scoped changes, always verify, transparent process)

### Rules (always follow)
- **rules/01-coding-standards.md** — Code style, testing, dependencies, basic security
- **rules/02-safety-guardrails.md** — Prohibited actions, allowed actions, handling uncertainty
- **rules/03-git-conventions.md** — Branch naming, commit messages, PR conventions

### Skills (use when relevant)
- **skills/code-review.md** — Code review checklist and feedback guidelines
- **skills/debugging.md** — Systematic debugging process
- **skills/testing.md** — Test writing principles and test types
- **skills/refactoring.md** — Behavior-preserving code improvement
- **skills/documentation.md** — When and how to document
- **skills/design.md** — Frontend design principles and process

### Workflows (follow step-by-step)
- **workflows/feature-development.md** — Adding new features
- **workflows/bug-fix.md** — Fixing bugs systematically
- **workflows/pull-request.md** — Preparing changes for review

## Usage

Before starting any coding task, read the relevant rules and skills files. For feature work, follow `workflows/feature-development.md`. For bugs, follow `workflows/bug-fix.md`. Always apply `skills/code-review.md` before reporting completion.
