Motivation

A comment should apply to the code it explains. Agents leave comments floating between unrelated lines, for example to explain why an option keeps its default value, like the trailingSlash of serve-handler in #12901.

The code-style skill now tells them to write that option with its default value, trailingSlash: undefined, and to comment it.

Test Plan

Docs-only change to the code-style skill. oxfmt passes.

Walkthrough

The code-style skill adds guidance to place comments beside the code they explain. It also says to show an option’s default value when explaining why it remains the default.

Changes: Comment guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Comment placement and defaults .agents/skills/code-style/SKILL.md	The guidance says to place comments directly on the relevant code. When a comment explains why an option remains at its default, it should show that default value.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Change: Other

Suggested labels: pr: maintenance

Merge Risk: Low · up to 16a6a

The guidance could lead contributors to pin settings that should inherit future defaults. This is a bounded documentation risk; clarify the exception as a follow-up.

Leave options unset when they must follow future defaults.

Writing a concrete default pins it across upgrades. For example, respectPrefersColorScheme: false prevents a site from inheriting the newer true default. Allow comments beside the enclosing configuration when the option must remain unset.
