Core rules

• Follow the Google JavaScript style guide; TypeScript adds typing rules on top.
• Use explicit types on exported/public APIs; avoid any unless justified.
• Prefer interface for object shapes; use type for unions/intersections.
• Use readonly and as const where values are immutable.
• Naming mirrors JS: camelCase members, PascalCase types/classes.
• Use ES modules; enable strict compiler options in tsconfig.

Quick checklist

• Match Google TypeScript naming and formatting conventions
• Keep code readable; prefer consistency within the file and package
• Run language-appropriate linters/formatters when available
• Document non-obvious behavior with brief, accurate comments
• Defer to the official guide when this skill is silent
