Global Conventions

Enforce consistent coding conventions by providing a centralized global conventions document that specifies naming, formatting, and structure rules. Claude Code applies these rules automatically during code generation, review, and refactoring, ensuring uniform output across all code artifacts without manual effort.

Yes. Refactoring with global conventions enabled automatically applies your project's naming rules for variables, functions, classes, and files, plus formatting standards for indentation and spacing. This brings legacy code up to current standards without manual updates.

Global conventions enforce naming patterns, code formatting including indentation and line breaks, and structural consistency across files. The Skill ensures adherence during code generation, review, and refactoring to promote readability and collaboration.

Inconsistent styles reduce readability, make code reviews difficult by forcing reviewers to parse varying patterns, and hinder team collaboration. Global conventions establish uniform standards that make code easier to understand, review, and maintain across a project.

Yes. Global conventions apply across code files and entire projects that require compliance. The Skill enforces rules consistently during all code work—generation, review, and refactoring—maintaining uniform output across all code artifacts.

Reference a centralized global conventions document and use it during refactoring to automatically apply consistent naming, formatting, and structure. This approach systematically brings legacy code into compliance with current standards at scale.
