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:
# Pseudo-code for standard loading
if file.endswith('.py'):
load('standards/references/python.md')
elif file.endswith('.go'):
load('standards/references/go.md')
# etc.
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
