code-style

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to enforce consistent coding standards and formatting rules within software projects. It ensures that generated or modified code adheres to specific style guides, maintaining readability and uniformity across a codebase.

When to use it

• Standardizing code contributions from multiple developers in a team environment.
• Preparing codebases for automated linting tools or static analysis pipelines.
• Ensuring new AI-generated code matches the existing architectural patterns of a legacy project.
• Enforcing specific language conventions (e.g., PEP 8 for Python, Airbnb style guide for JavaScript).

Key capabilities

• Applies predefined coding style configurations to source files.
• Validates syntax and formatting against established industry standards.
• Integrates directly into the development workflow to catch style violations early.

Example prompts

• "Apply the project's existing code-style configuration to this new Python module."
• "Refactor this JavaScript function to comply with Airbnb style guidelines using the code-style skill."
• "Check if the generated SQL queries match our database team's formatting standards."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the target project has a defined style guide or configuration file (like .editorconfig, .eslintrc, or pyproject.toml) before invoking this skill, as it relies on existing rules to function effectively.
