Code Documentation Style

This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on how it should handle global commenting.

When to use this skill:

  • Documenting complex animation timing calculations
  • Explaining non-obvious frame-based logic
  • Adding context for architectural decisions
  • Documenting tricky Remotion or S3 edge cases
  • Clarifying business rules in validation logic
  • Adding JSDoc for public function interfaces

Instructions

  • Self-Documenting Code: Write code that explains itself through clear structure and naming
  • Minimal, helpful comments: Add concise, minimal comments to explain large sections of code logic.
  • Don't comment changes or fixes: Do not leave code comments that speak to recent or temporary changes or fixes. Comments should be evergreen informational texts that are relevant far into the future.
