If your report is shorter than two lines, it is almost certainly missing some of these, which makes it hard for us to respond to it. We're often too polite to close the issue outright, but the missing info makes misinterpretation likely. We often get frustrated by these issues, since the only possible way for us to move forward on them is to ask for clarification over and over.
For bug reports, this means that your report should contain the **complete** output of yt-dlp when called with the `-Uv` flag. The error message you get for (most) bugs even says so, but you would not believe how many of our bug reports do not contain this information.

### Long lines policy
There is a soft limit to keep lines of code under 100 characters long. This means it should be respected if possible and if it does not make readability and code maintenance worse. Sometimes, it may be reasonable to go upto 120 characters and sometimes even 80 can be unreadable. Keep in mind that this is not a hard limit and is just one of many tools to make the code more readable
There is a soft limit to keep lines of code under 100 characters long. This means it should be respected if possible and if it does not make readability and code maintenance worse. Sometimes, it may be reasonable to go upto 120 characters and sometimes even 80 can be unreadable. Keep in mind that this is not a hard limit and is just one of many tools to make the code more readable.
For example, you should **never** split long string literals like URLs or some other often copied entities over multiple lines to fit this limit:
Conversely, don't unecessarily split small lines further. As a rule of thumb, if removing the line split keeps the code under 80 characters, it should be a single line.

### Quotes
Always use single quotes for strings (even if the string has `'`) and double quotes for docstrings. Use `'''` only for multi-line strings. An exception can be made if a string has multiple single quotes in it and escaping makes it significantly harder to read. For f-strings, use you can use double quotes on the inside. But avoid f-strings that have too many quotes inside.
### Inline values
Extracting variables is acceptable for reducing code duplication and improving readability of complex expressions. However, you should avoid extracting variables used only once and moving them to opposite parts of the extractor file, which makes reading the linear flow difficult.
