What problem does it solve?
This skill helps developers apply consistent, context-aware coding practices to reduce drift between design and implementation and to improve maintainability across languages and runtimes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- ALWAYS REQUIRED: howto-functional-vs-imperative and defense-in-depth guidance to separate pure logic from side effects and to validate data flow.
- CONDITIONAL: howto-code-in-typescript, howto-develop-with-postgres, programming-in-react, writing-good-tests, property-based-testing to tailor practices to the tech stack.
- Use Case: When starting a new feature or refactoring a module, apply the sub-skills to ensure clean separation, robust validation, and testability from day one.
Quick Start
Use the coding-effectively skill at project kickoff to outline and enforce sub-skills before coding. Starting a new feature, apply ALWAYS REQUIRED: howto-functional-vs-imperative and defense-in-depth to guide structure and validation, optionally apply the TS/React/Postgres/test-related sub-skills as appropriate, and document your decisions for maintainability.
