## What it is
SAP's open source style guides for coding, primarily the Clean ABAP guide and an ABAP code review guide, written in Markdown. It is a continuously updated, community-driven reference for writing clean, readable ABAP code.

## Use cases
- learn how to write clean ABAP code
- find ABAP naming and formatting conventions
- prepare an ABAP code review checklist
- align a team on ABAP coding standards
- reference guidelines when refactoring legacy ABAP
- onboard new ABAP developers to clean code practices

## When to choose
- you write or review ABAP code and want authoritative style guidance
- your team needs a shared, community-maintained ABAP coding standard
- you want CC-licensed material you can reuse in trainings or books

## When to avoid
- you need style guides for languages other than ABAP
- you need an enforced linter or automated formatter rather than written guidelines
- your organization mandates its own style guide that conflicts with these optional recommendations

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: programming-languages, developer-tools, documentation
- platform: -
- tags: abap, style-guide, clean-code, code-review, coding-standards
