lackeyjb Code Styleguides
Language-specific coding standards and best practices.
How It Works
Reads project-level styleguides from conductor/code_styleguides/ (copied during /conductor:setup based on tech stack).
Supported Languages
| Language | Extensions | Styleguide File |
|---|---|---|
| TypeScript | .ts, .tsx, .mts, .cts |
conductor/code_styleguides/typescript.md |
| Python | .py, .pyi |
conductor/code_styleguides/python.md |
| Go | .go |
conductor/code_styleguides/go.md |
| JavaScript | .js, .jsx, .mjs, .cjs |
conductor/code_styleguides/javascript.md |
| HTML/CSS | .html, .css, .scss, .sass |
conductor/code_styleguides/html-css.md |
When to Activate
Writing new code, reviewing code, refactoring, or setting up new files/modules.
Universal Principles
| Aspect | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Naming | Descriptive, meaningful; clarity over brevity; consistency |
| Structure | Single responsibility; max 3-4 nesting levels; group related code |
| Documentation | Document "why" not "what"; keep updated; docstrings for public APIs |
| Errors | Handle explicitly; fail fast with clear messages; never swallow |
| Testing | Write alongside code (TDD); test behavior not implementation; high coverage on critical paths |
Quick Reference
| Setting | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Line length | 80-120 characters |
| Indentation | 2 spaces (JS/TS), 4 spaces (Python), tabs (Go) |
| Naming | Follow language conventions |
| Imports | Organized and grouped |
| Comments | Minimal, meaningful |
Setup
If styleguides missing:
- Run
/conductor:setupto initialize - Or copy from
templates/code-styleguides/toconductor/code_styleguides/
Check: ls conductor/code_styleguides/
Integration
Works with: conductor-context (project overrides), tdd-workflow (language test patterns)
