squad-conventions

Zero-dependency coding standards standardize the Node.js CLI codebase by enforcing that all patterns are implemented without external dependencies. This approach ensures consistency, readability, and maintainability across all modules and tests.

Zero-dependency conventions are documented rules requiring Node.js utilities and modules to operate without external packages. You need them when standardizing a codebase to improve maintainability and reduce reliance on third-party libraries.

Document Node.js project structure and error handling patterns by defining them in a central conventions file. This guides contributors on consistent file organization, naming, and testing approaches across the repository.

No, you cannot use external libraries under these coding standards. The conventions explicitly enforce a zero-dependency pattern, requiring all utilities and modules to be implemented without external packages.

The best way to standardize testing and naming conventions is to establish explicit coding standards documented within the repository. This provides clear guidance for contributors and ensures uniform patterns across all development efforts.
