Delphi Clean Code

What problem does it solve?

Delphi projects often degenerate into hard-to-maintain spaghetti when guidelines are ignored. This Skill provides pragmatic rules to keep Delphi code readable, maintainable and robust.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): A function or unit does ONE thing.
• DRY & KISS: Avoid duplication and keep solutions simple.
• Guard Clauses & Early Returns: Reduce nested conditionals and improve readability.
• Naming Conventions: Consistent prefixes and verb-noun naming for clarity.
• Memory Management Guidance: Use try/finally for objects and be deliberate with interfaces.
• Anti-Patterns to Avoid: Identify and replace common pitfalls like God classes and overly long methods.

Quick Start

Refactor a sample Delphi unit to apply SRP, add guard clauses, and rename identifiers for clarity.
