# Rigorous Coding

Rigorous Coding applies strict coding standards for writing, implementing, or reviewing code. Use it to state assumptions, verify correctness, and check non-happy-path behavior.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/jarrodwatts/claude-code-config/tree/main/skills/rigorous-coding ~/.claude/skills/rigorous-coding
```

## README

Do not write code before stating assumptions.
Do not claim correctness you haven't verified.
Do not handle only the happy path.
Under what conditions does this work?
