# Code Complete Skill

Use this skill when a task involves disciplined software construction: routine design, variable use, class design, control flow, defensive programming, coding standards, or implementation testing.

Before making design or code decisions, read and apply [code-complete.mini.md](code-complete.mini.md). Use [code-complete.md](code-complete.md) only as a deeper reference when the mini rules are not enough for the current construction tradeoff.
