## Quick Start

Run naming convention checks:

```bash
# Via skills CLI
node .scripts/skills-cli.ts coding-standards validate

# Programmatically
import { codingStandards } from './.scripts/lib/skills/index.ts';
const result = await codingStandards.validate('./src');
```

## Naming Conventions

| Language | Convention | Example |
|----------|------------|---------|
| Java | PascalCase for classes | `UserService.java` |
| Python | snake_case for modules | `user_service.py` |
| TypeScript/JS | kebab-case or camelCase | `user-service.ts` |
| Shell | kebab-case | `run-tests.sh` |

For complete rules, see [references/naming-conventions.md](references/naming-conventions.md).

## Available Scripts

Scripts are implemented in `.scripts/lib/skills/coding-standards.ts`:

| Function | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `validate(dir)` | Run all naming convention checks |
| `checkNamingConventions(dir)` | Check file naming |
| `checkJavaClass(path)` | Validate Java class name |
| `checkPythonModule(path)` | Validate Python module name |
| `checkTypeScriptFile(path)` | Validate TS/JS file name |
