Are curly braces optional for single-line statements?

No, to ensure maintainability and prevent common bugs, this skill mandates the use of curly braces for all blocks, even when they contain only one line.

Can I use underscore prefixes for private fields?

No, this skill strictly prohibits the use of underscore prefixes (e.g., _field) in favor of standard camelCase naming for all private members.

How does it handle C# 12's Primary Constructors?

The skill actively encourages Primary Constructors to reduce boilerplate in class and struct declarations, simplifying field initialization.

Does this skill support the latest C# versions?

Yes, it includes specific guidelines for C# 12, C# 13, and the upcoming C# 14 features, prioritizing modern syntax over legacy patterns.

What are the rules for commenting code?

Comments must be on their own line (never inline with code) and should be preceded by an empty line to maintain a clean visual hierarchy.
