# Coding Standards

Canonical standards live in [engineering-discipline.md](references/engineering-discipline.md). Read it and apply the rules as proportionate heuristics, not laws; when rules pull in different directions, use its decision order.

Stack-specific standards live in sibling skills that link back here. When none exists, apply the generic standards in the stack's idiom.
