Code Style Rule

A Code Style Rule is a software formatting rule that defines code style standards for source code presentation.

• AKA: Coding Convention Rule, Code Formatting Standard, Programming Style Rule, Source Code Convention.
• Context:
  • It can typically specify Code Style Rule Indentation Patterns for code style rule whitespace management.
  • It can typically define Code Style Rule Naming Conventions for code style rule identifiers.
  • It can typically establish Code Style Rule Comment Standards for code style rule documentation.
  • It can typically enforce Code Style Rule Line Length Limits for code style rule readability.
  • It can typically mandate Code Style Rule Bracket Placement in code style rule block structures.
  • It can typically regulate Code Style Rule Import Organization for code style rule module dependencyes.
  • It can typically standardize Code Style Rule Error Handling Patterns for code style rule exception management.
  • ...
  • It can often prescribe Code Style Rule File Organization for code style rule project structure.
  • It can often recommend Code Style Rule Variable Declaration for code style rule scope management.
  • It can often suggest Code Style Rule Function Complexity Limits for code style rule maintainability.
  • It can often guide Code Style Rule Test Naming Patterns for code style rule test suites.
  • It can often define Code Style Rule Commit Message Formats for code style rule version control.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Minimal Code Style Rule to being a Comprehensive Code Style Rule, depending on its code style rule coverage scope.
  • It can range from being a Language-Specific Code Style Rule to being a Language-Agnostic Code Style Rule, depending on its code style rule applicability.
  • It can range from being a Lenient Code Style Rule to being a Strict Code Style Rule, depending on its code style rule enforcement level.
  • It can range from being a Manual Code Style Rule to being an Automated Code Style Rule, depending on its code style rule verification method.
  • It can range from being a Team Code Style Rule to being an Industry Code Style Rule, depending on its code style rule adoption scope.
  • It can range from being a Static Code Style Rule to being an Evolving Code Style Rule, depending on its code style rule update frequency.
  • ...
  • It can be enforced by Code Style Rule Linter Tools like eslint or pylint.
  • It can be documented in Code Style Rule Configuration Files like .editorconfig.
  • It can be integrated into Code Style Rule CI/CD Pipelines for code style rule automated checking.
  • It can be referenced in Code Style Rule AGENTS.md Files for code style rule ai agent guidance.
  • It can be applied by Code Style Rule Formatters like prettier or black.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Language-Specific Code Style Rules, such as:
    • PEP 8 Python Style Rule for python formatting standards.
    • Google JavaScript Style Rule for javascript conventions.
    • PSR-12 PHP Style Rule for php coding standards.
    • Rust Style Rule enforced by rustfmt tool.
  • Company Code Style Rules, such as:
    • Google Style Guide Rules across multiple programming languages.
    • Airbnb JavaScript Style Rule for react projects.
    • Microsoft C# Coding Convention Rules for .net development.
  • Framework Code Style Rules, such as:
    • Django Style Rule for python web applications.
    • Angular Style Guide Rule for typescript projects.
    • Ruby on Rails Convention Rules for ruby frameworks.
  • Tool-Enforced Code Style Rules, such as:
    • Prettier Code Style Rule for automatic formatting.
    • Black Python Style Rule for opinionated formatting.
    • Standard JS Style Rule for zero-configuration linting.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Business Logic Rule, which governs application behavior rather than code formatting.
  • Security Policy Rule, which addresses security requirements rather than style preferences.
  • Performance Optimization Rule, which improves execution efficiency rather than code appearance.
  • Architectural Pattern, which defines system structure rather than syntax conventions.
  • Algorithm Specification, which describes computational logic rather than formatting standards.
