[pessimism]

I was thinking about something dynamic and interactive with dialogues like “Does this apply to you?”, where people can click Yes or No.

Because you are entirely right, and there will never be a one-size-fits-all file. That’s why I am thinking about a solution that instead uses one-size-fits-all questions that people have to ask themselves, and these could dynamically either create the guidelines outright or prompt the authors to think about the question for themselves.

As my own guidelines highlight, you inevitably veer into subjective style guidelines, and we all know how long people can go on endlessly about JavaScript style guidelines.
