## What it is
A community-driven style guide for writing consistent Node.js/JavaScript code, covering formatting, naming conventions, variables, conditionals, functions, and comments. It includes a .jshintrc and .editorconfig to enforce the rules and is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 for forking and customization.

## Use cases
- standardize javascript code style across a team
- set up jshint rules for node.js projects
- learn node.js coding conventions
- create a custom javascript style guide by forking
- enforce consistent indentation and formatting with editorconfig
- decide on semicolon and quote conventions in javascript

## When to choose
- you want a readable, opinionated reference for node.js code style
- you need a starting point to fork into your own team style guide
- you want accompanying jshint/editorconfig enforcement files

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained style guide reflecting modern ES6+ practices
- you want automated formatting rather than a written guide (use prettier)
- you need an official or canonical standard

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: linter, formatter, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages, documentation
