Coding Standards Skill — AI skill for Claude Code

coding-standards

**English** · [中文](README.zh-CN.md)

A cross-language engineering coding standard packaged as an **AI skill**. It guides AI coding agents to produce clean, consistent, maintainable, idiomatic code when writing, reviewing, or refactoring C, C++, Rust, Go, Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, TypeScript, TSX/React, Python, C#/.NET, Swift, PHP, Ruby, Dart, Scala, and Zig.

Highlights

• Language-agnostic rules mapped to per-language idioms (17 languages), plus a quick-reference table.
• Reviewer-friendly: strict, consistent, actionable guidance.
• Hard vs. soft rule prioritization so agents know what is mandatory.
• Deliverable checklist to verify output before submission.
• Tools for AI agents to format and self-check code (see below).

The skill source lives at [`cli/skill/coding-standards/`](cli/skill/coding-standards/), containing `SKILL.md`, bundled `data/` assets, and `scripts/`.

Install with the CLI (recommended)

The companion npm package `coding-standards-cli` (published to **both** npm and GitHub Packages) copies the skill into your AI assistant’s skill directory:

npm install -g coding-standards-cli
cd /path/to/your/project
standards init claude      # Claude Code
standards init opencode    # OpenCode
standards init codex       # Codex CLI
standards init all         # All supported tools
standards global claude    # or: install globally into ~/.claude/skills
standards update           # update this CLI from npm
standards help             # show help

Two binary names are equivalent: `standards` and `coding-standards`. See [`cli/README.md`](cli/README.md) for every supported tool, the `--global` option, and the `list`/`uninstall`/`update` commands.

Tip: OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Trae also read `.agents/skills/` — `standards init agents` covers the portable standard shared by many tools.
