Applies general Visual Basic 6 conventions when editing .bas, .cls, .frm, .frx, .vbp, .vbg, .ctl, or .dob files, or any code identified as VB6 (not VB.NET, not VBA). Covers case-preservation in existing code (VB6 is case-insensitive but diff tools are not), Option Explicit requirement, Hungarian notation with scope prefix plus type prefix (mstr/mint/mcur for module-level in .bas; mstr/mint/mcur for module-level in .cls; gstr/gint for global; str/int/cur for parameters and locals), file header blocks for .cls modules with 80-hyphen delimiters, comment-per-field convention, Property Get/Let/Set patterns without public fields, ByVal/ByRef explicit declarations, Long over Integer for performance and overflow safety, preservation of Windows-1252 encoding and CRLF line endings, and never editing .frx files manually due to binary offset corruption. Activates for any Visual Basic 6 development task, code review, refactoring, or new file creation in a VB6 project.
