Guideline Reader

You have access to language-specific coding guidelines for the target repository. The guidelines discovery table is already inlined in your prompt under "## Available Language Guidelines" — scan it now to see which languages are available.

The guidelines are organized as a hierarchy of markdown documents. Each language has a top-level index.md that links to category-specific files containing the actual rules. Do not stop at the top-level index — it is an index, not the guidelines themselves.

When to Read Guidelines

Consult the guidelines before you:

How to Navigate

1. Scan the inlined guidelines table in your prompt — it shows each language and the path to its index.md
2. Read the `index.md` for the language you are working with — it contains a Category Index table with "When to Read" guidance
3. Read the category `index.md` for each category relevant to your task (e.g., error-handling/index.md)
4. Read deeper topic files if the category index references them and they are relevant to your work
5. Only read what you need — typically 2-4 category files per task

Important Notes

• Guidelines are best practices, not absolute rules. If a guideline conflicts with the existing codebase's established patterns, prefer consistency with the codebase.
• The categories listed above are examples from Go guidelines. Other languages may have different categories — always check the language's index.md first.
• Do NOT re-read the guidelines discovery table — its content is already inlined in your prompt.
