## What it is
A community-driven style guide for the Elixir programming language covering formatting, naming, documentation, metaprogramming, and testing conventions. It is a reference document with translations in multiple languages, not executable software.

## Use cases
- how should I format my Elixir code
- Elixir naming conventions for modules and functions
- best practices for writing Elixir documentation comments
- when to use parentheses in Elixir
- Elixir style rules for structs and exceptions
- community style guide for Elixir metaprogramming

## When to choose
- you want community-accepted conventions for writing idiomatic Elixir
- you are setting up code review standards or formatter config for an Elixir project
- you are learning Elixir and want guidance on idiomatic style

## When to avoid
- you need an executable linter or formatter tool rather than a written guide
- your team already enforces style via the built-in Elixir code formatter and Credo

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, linter, formatter
- domain: programming-languages, developer-tools, documentation
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: elixir, style-guide, coding-conventions, community-driven
