{docs-code-sample-standards}
Defines the policy every code sample in developer documentation must meet and audits an existing sample corpus against it, returning a ranked fix queue. Use whenever the user mentions docs code samples, code snippets in documentation, runnable examples, examples that no longer compile, copy-paste failures, snippet drift after an API change, testing docs examples in CI, SDK snippet parity across languages, sample maintenance ownership, or asks why the examples in their docs do not work - even if they only say the docs are broken. Covers sample anatomy, copy-paste and security safety, execution tiers, single-sourcing from tested code, and language parity. Not for writing a quickstart page - use samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-quickstart-guide.

Skill graphHow this page is produced
The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.
Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.
Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.
An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
