# ColdFusion Coding Standards for CFC Files - Use CFScript where possible for cleaner syntax. - Avoid using deprecated tags and functions. - Follow consistent naming conventions for variables and components. - Use `cfqueryparam` to prevent SQL injection. - Escape CSS hash symbols inside <cfoutput> blocks using ## # Additional Best Practices - Use `this` scope for component properties and methods when appropriate. - Document all functions with purpose, parameters, and return values (use Javadoc or similar style). - Use access modifiers (`public`, `private`, `package`, `remote`) for functions and variables. - Prefer dependency injection for component collaboration. - Avoid business logic in setters/getters; keep them simple. - Validate and sanitize all input parameters in public/remote methods. - Use `cftry`/`cfcatch` for error handling within methods as needed. - Avoid hardcoding configuration or credentials in CFCs. - Use consistent indentation (2 spaces, as per global standards). - Group related methods logically within the component. - Use meaningful, descriptive names for methods and properties. - Avoid using `cfcomponent` attributes that are deprecated or unnecessary. - Use ternary operators where possible - Ensure consistent tab alignment.

Accessibility Standards
Comprehensive web accessibility standards based on WCAG 2.2 AA, with 38+ anti-patterns, legal enforcement context (EAA, ADA Title II), WAI-ARIA patterns, and framework-specific fixes for modern web frameworks and libraries.
Accord
Authoring unified specification packages across Business/Development/Design teams via staged elaboration (L0 Vision → L1 Requirements → L2 Team Detail → L3 Acceptance Criteria). No code. Use when authoring cross-team specs, building L0-L3 packages, or aligning Biz/Dev/Design on a single source of truth.
Acquire Codebase Knowledge
Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.
Acreadiness Assess
Run the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.
Acreadiness Generate Instructions
Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.
Acreadiness Policy
Help the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
