Editorial analysis
Valuable as a corpus, weak as a system. The oldest entry in this index, and it shows both ways: conventions here shaped how the ecosystem writes rules files, and a meaningful fraction of entries now recommend outdated APIs. Use it to see the range of what people write, then write your own.
Risks
Rules are contributed with no review rubric; many encode stale framework advice. Read before adopting.
Evidence notes: Reliability: no curation rubric; entry quality is uncorrelated with placement. Documentation: category organization is good; per-rule rationale is rare. Eval readiness: rules assert conventions with no way to check adherence.
