# kcl-samples
KittyCAD Language (KCL) is our language for defining geometry and working with our Geometry Engine efficiently.
This repository includes a mixture of simple and complex models demonstrating the features and syntax of KCL.
The samples can be browsed in our documentation at < https: / / zoo . dev / docs / kcl-samples > .
## Guidelines for adding samples
KCL samples conform to a set of style guidelines to ensure consistency and readability.
1. **File Naming:** Name your KCL files descriptively and concisely, using hyphens to separate words (e.g., flange.kcl, ball-bearing.kcl).
2. **File Header:** Include a title comment at the top of each file, followed by a brief description explaining what the model is and its typical use cases.
3. **Inline Comments:** Use inline comments to explain non-obvious parts of the code. Each major section should have a comment describing its purpose.
4. **Constants:** Define constants at the beginning of your KCL files for any values that might change or need to be reused (e.g., dimensions, angles).
## Snapshot and export
When you submit a PR to add or modify KCL samples, images and STEP files will be generated and added to the repository automatically.
