## What it is
A community-driven style guide documenting best practices and coding conventions for the CoffeeScript programming language. It covers code layout, naming, comments, functions, and idiomatic patterns, inspired by guides like PEP-8 and the Ruby Style Guide.

## Use cases
- coffeescript style guide
- coffeescript coding conventions
- how to format coffeescript code
- coffeescript best practices
- idiomatic coffeescript patterns
- coffeescript indentation and line length rules

## When to choose
- You are writing or reviewing CoffeeScript and want consistent, idiomatic style
- You are setting up team coding standards for a legacy CoffeeScript codebase
- You want a reference for CoffeeScript conventions like spacing, naming, and comments

## When to avoid
- You are starting a new project, since CoffeeScript is largely deprecated in favor of modern JavaScript/TypeScript
- You need an enforceable linter or formatter tool rather than a prose guide
- You need up-to-date guidance, as the guide has not seen a release since 2018

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, linter
- domain: programming-languages, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: coffeescript, style-guide, coding-conventions, best-practices, code-style
