basecode
/basecode
Apply BaseCode practices to improve the readability of code — naming, dead code, nested code, comments, and more.
basecode:dead-code
/dead-code
Apply the BaseCode Dead Code practice — remove commented-out code, unused code, unreachable code, and abandoned feature branches to reduce noise and improve readability.
basecode:naming
/naming
Apply the BaseCode Naming practice — avoid abbreviations, follow conventions, leverage context, and use domain vocabulary to maximize human signal in names.
basecode:nested-code
/nested-code
Apply the BaseCode Nested Code practice — flatten structure using guard clauses, conditional boolean returns, and higher-order functions to bring the primary action to the top level.
basecode:removing-comments
/removing-comments
Apply the BaseCode Removing Comments practice — delete what- and how-comments, improve names in their place, and keep only why-comments that explain non-obvious constraints.

What are BaseCode Practices?
BaseCode is a set of focused, language-agnostic principles for writing code that communicates clearly to the humans who read it. The practices cover naming, functions, conditionals, comments, and structure — the everyday decisions that make code a pleasure or a burden to work with.
