The short answer
The Code style keeps function names, file names and symbols exactly as you say them, which suits comments, commit messages, tickets and AI coding prompts.
What developers dictate
- Prompts for AI coding tools such as Cursor, Copilot and Claude: the biggest use by far.
- Commit messages and pull request descriptions.
- Tickets in Jira or Linear, with steps to reproduce.
- Code comments and documentation.
- Messages to the team in Slack or Teams.
What the Code style does
In code editors and terminals, the Code style keeps technical words exactly as you say them: it will not turn initialize into initialise, or add punctuation inside a function name. Add your project's own names (classes, services, repositories) to your dictionary so they come out right every time.
Dictating code itself
Saying code symbol by symbol ("open bracket, x, comma...") is slow and awkward with any dictation tool. It is far quicker to describe what you want to an AI coding tool and let it write the code. That is the workflow most developers settle on.
Make your own style for commit messages: "a short summary line, then a blank line, then details". See Can I make my own style?
