style-core
Use this as a generic, project-neutral skill. Active repo guidance (STYLE.md, AGENTS.md, local examples, and user instructions) overrides these defaults.

Style Core
Read active repo STYLE.md/AGENTS.md first.
Use this skill as the repo-wide style lens for code, CMake, docs, prompts, and review.
Main rules
- Make the smallest correct change.
- Prefer one clear path over multiple competing flows.
- Reduce maintenance exposure when it improves clarity.
- Prefer focused files and readable code over clever abstractions.
- Keep generated outputs in the build tree.
- Keep docs and prompts short and scannable.
Apply with narrower skills
Use this skill first, then add a narrower skill when relevant:
- C++:
style-cpp - CMake:
cpp-cmake - Review:
review-cpp-engine - Docs/prompts/skills:
style-docs-writing
Update rule
If the user gives repeated style feedback, add or refine a short rule in STYLE.md instead of scattering the preference across many prompts or files.
