Clean Code

This is the coding standard that stops Claude from writing blog posts when you asked for a function. It enforces pragmatic rules like single responsibility, guard clauses over nesting, and a hard ban on obvious comments. The pre-edit checklist forces you to think about imports and dependencies before touching files, which prevents the classic "I fixed AuthService but broke three controllers" scenario. Most valuable for teams tired of AI agents that explain what they're about to do instead of just doing it. Ships with role-specific validation scripts so your frontend specialist runs accessibility checks and your backend dev runs API validators. Written for developers who want working code, not programming tutorials.
