Docs Code Sample Standards

Defines the policy every code sample in developer documentation must meet and audits an existing sample corpus against it, returning a ranked fix queue. Use whenever the user mentions docs code samples, code snippets in documentation, runnable examples, examples that no longer compile, copy-paste failures, snippet drift after an API change, testing docs examples in CI, SDK snippet parity across languages, sample maintenance ownership, or asks why the examples in their docs do not work - even if they only say the docs are broken. Covers sample anatomy, copy-paste and security safety, execution tiers, single-sourcing from tested code, and language parity. Not for writing a quickstart page - use samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-quickstart-guide.
