# Coding Standards
Language-specific coding instructions and pre-PR code review agents for bash, Bicep, C#, PowerShell, Python, Rust, and Terraform projects
## Overview
Enforce language-specific coding conventions and best practices across your projects, with pre-PR code review agents for catching functional defects early. This collection provides instructions for bash, Bicep, C#, PowerShell, Python, Rust, and Terraform that are automatically applied based on file patterns, plus agents that review branch diffs before opening pull requests.
This collection includes:
- **Functional Code Review** — Pre-PR branch diff reviewer for functional correctness, error handling, edge cases, and testing gaps
Instructions for:
- **Bash** — Shell scripting conventions and best practices
- **Bicep** — Infrastructure as code implementation standards
- **C#** — Code and test conventions including nullable reference types, async patterns, and xUnit testing
- **PowerShell** — Script and module conventions including comment-based help, CmdletBinding, PSScriptAnalyzer compliance, and copyright headers
- **Python** — Scripting implementation with type hints, docstrings, uv project management, and pytest testing
- **Rust** — Rust development conventions targeting the 2021 edition
- **Terraform** — Infrastructure as code with provider configuration and module structure
