version: "1.0.0" name: code-quality description: Non-negotiable code quality standards. Use when writing or reviewing any code in any language.

neuron: code-quality

• triggers_when: code is written or reviewed and must meet quality standards
• tier: T2
• budget: 500 tokens
• eval: number of violations of universal rules -> threshold 0
• reward: pheromone +1 if eval >= threshold

Procedure

1. Apply strict typing (parameters and returns, 0 public methods without type).
2. Keep functions <=30 lines (Extract Method) and files <=300 (Extract Class).
3. Remove magic numbers, dead code and debug code.
4. Write actionable errors and tests (>=80% business logic).
5. Verify the pre-delivery checklist.

Checklist

• [ ] Functions <=30 and files <=300 lines
• [ ] No magic numbers or debug code (console.log/dd/dump)
• [ ] Actionable errors
• [ ] SOLID + tests

Pitfalls

• Default exports (use named exports)
• >3 parameters without a Parameter Object
• Skipping business logic tests
