OBEY Clean Code by Robert C. Martin

When to use

Use when you need a small always-on bias toward readable, low-surprise code.

Primary bias to correct

Working code is not automatically clean code.

Decision rules

• Preserve behavior, write for the next reader, and leave touched code cleaner within scope.
• Write for local reasoning and use precise names with one term per concept.
• Split boolean flags, mixed abstraction levels, and hidden side effects out of functions.
• Separate commands from queries and keep parameters small and meaningful.
• Keep the happy path readable; make invalid states, errors, and cleanup explicit instead of implicit.
