| description | Language-specific coding standards and validation rules. Provides Python, Go, TypeScript, Shell, YAML, JSON, and Markdown standards. Auto-loaded by /vibe, /implement, /doc, /bug-hunt, /complexity based on file types. |
Standards Skill
Language-specific coding standards loaded on-demand by other skills.
Purpose
This is a library skill - it doesn't run standalone but provides standards
references that other skills load based on file types being processed.
Standards Available
| Language | Reference | Loaded By |
|---|
| Python | references/python.md | vibe, implement, complexity |
| Go | references/go.md | vibe, implement, complexity |
| TypeScript | references/typescript.md | vibe, implement |
| Shell | references/shell.md | vibe, implement |
| YAML | references/yaml.md | vibe |
| JSON | references/json.md | vibe |
| Markdown | references/markdown.md | vibe, doc |
How It Works
Skills declare standards as a dependency:
skills:
- standards
Then load the appropriate reference based on file type:
if file.endswith('.py'):
load('standards/references/python.md')
elif file.endswith('.go'):
load('standards/references/go.md')
Deep Standards
For comprehensive audits, skills can load extended standards from
vibe/references/*-standards.md which contain full compliance catalogs.
| Standard | Size | Use Case |
|---|
| Tier 1 (this skill) | ~5KB each | Normal validation |
| Tier 2 (vibe/references) | ~15-20KB each | Deep audits, --deep flag |
Integration
Skills that use standards:
/vibe - Loads based on changed file types/implement - Loads for files being modified/doc - Loads markdown standards/bug-hunt - Loads for root cause analysis/complexity - Loads for refactoring recommendations
