Guidelines

Style

• Use tabs for indentation (required by Make)
• Use .PHONY for non-file targets
• Add help text for targets
• Group related targets

Best Practices

• Targets are .PHONY if not creating files
• Dependencies are correct
• Variables use ?= for defaults
• Help text exists for main targets

Example Target

.PHONY: my-target
my-target: ## Description of target
 @echo "Running my-target..."
 command1
 command2

Verification Checklist

• make mk-lint passes
• Target runs correctly
• Dependencies work
• Help text is accurate
