yaml-conventions

What problem does it solve?

Loose or inconsistent YAML formatting can lead to parsing errors, configuration issues, and debugging headaches. This skill provides strict conventions for YAML files to ensure reliability and consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

• ISO 8601 Dates: Mandates quoted ISO 8601 format for all dates, preventing ambiguity.
• Kebab-case Naming: Enforces strict kebab-case for all identifiers (no underscores, no camelCase).
• Explicit Null Handling: Guides on using explicit null or omitting fields, avoiding Python None syntax.
• Pure YAML: Prohibits embedded Markdown or code blocks within YAML, ensuring clean parsing.
• Use Case: When creating or modifying YAML configuration files, refer to this skill to ensure strict adherence to ISO 8601 dates, kebab-case naming, and proper null handling, preventing parsing errors and ensuring configuration reliability.
