design-patterns

This skill guides software engineers in applying GoF design patterns by providing structural templates, pattern descriptions, and example implementations to accelerate pattern adoption and improve code maintainability across multiple languages.

You can review object-oriented code for correct design pattern implementation by applying in-context evaluation checklists and review prompts that validate pattern intent, structural conformity, and participant relationships during code reviews.

Run the scaffold script to generate boilerplate code for a chosen GoF pattern like Factory or Observer, then adapt the generated template to your specific application domain and architectural requirements.

Yes, you can use these design pattern templates across multiple programming languages, as the skill provides code scaffolding templates and example implementations designed for multi-language codebases to ensure consistent architectural planning.

You need to use GoF design patterns when refactoring complex conditional logic, managing object creation, or organizing system architecture, ensuring proven solutions are applied to improve code quality and maintainability.
