Coding Conventions

Coding Conventions

Supported Languages

• Python - PEP 8
• TypeScript - Google & Microsoft Style Guide
• JavaScript - Airbnb Style Guide
• Go - Effective Go & Google Style Guide
• PHP - PSR Standards
• Git Commits - Conventional Commits

Workflow

When writing or modifying code:

1. Identify the language of the file being edited
2. Read the appropriate convention file from references/ directory
3. Apply conventions consistently to naming, formatting, documentation, and organization

Convention Files

• references/python-conventions.md - Python (PEP 8)
• references/typescript-conventions.md - TypeScript
• references/javascript-conventions.md - JavaScript (Airbnb)
• references/golang-conventions.md - Go
• references/php-conventions.md - PHP (PSR)
• references/git-commit-conventions.md - Git commit format

Git Commit Quick Reference

Follow Conventional Commits format:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

Common types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore

Rules:

• Imperative present tense: "add" not "added"
• Lowercase subject, no period
• Keep subject under 50 characters
• Include Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Example:

feat(auth): add user authentication

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Priority Rules

1. Project-specific conventions override language defaults
2. Existing code style should be matched for consistency
3. Automatic tools (ESLint, Prettier, gofmt) should be respected if configured
4. Convention files provide the default standards
