Google’s style guides were built to keep humans from making messy code.

An AI style guide should be about keeping humans from inheriting messy systems.

If code is mostly generated, the rules shouldn’t obsess over formatting. They should enforce structure, contracts, reproducibility, and tight diff boundaries. The AI can write the implementation — it shouldn’t be allowed to invent the architecture.

style guides are pure human theater. they were never ‘great’ only parochial and your shiny ai has no need for it. enjoy your newfound freedom.
