- displays correctly in Configurator (press Ctrl+Shift+I to preview local file, turn on fast input to verify ordering)
+ - `layout` definitions should include matrix positions, so that `LAYOUT` macros can be generated at build time
+ - should use standard definitions if applicable

- Vial-related files or changes will not be accepted, as they are not used by QMK firmware (no Vial-specific core code has been submitted or merged)
- `<keyboard>.c`
- empty `xxxx_xxxx_kb()` or other weak-defined default implemented functions removed
+ - empty `xxxx_xxxx_user()` or other user-level functions are disallowed at the keyboard level and must be moved to keymaps
- commented-out functions removed too
- `matrix_init_board()` etc. migrated to `keyboard_pre_init_kb()`, see: [keyboard_pre_init*](custom_quantum_functions.md?id=keyboard_pre_init_-function-documentation)
- prefer `CUSTOM_MATRIX = lite` if custom matrix used, allows for standard debounce, see [custom matrix 'lite'](custom_matrix.md?id=lite)
- prefer LED indicator [Configuration Options](feature_led_indicators.md?id=configuration-options) to custom `led_update_*()` implementations where possible
- - Encoder support should not be hacked into the keymap here -- no `tap_code(dynamic_keymap_get_keycode())` or `action_exec()` hacks. The [Encoder Map](feature_encoders.md?id=encoder-map) feature already supports the dynamic keymap feature (what power's VIA's "live keymap updates" capability).
- - If support is absolutely necessary, it should be implemented exclusively at the keymap level, with none of the implementation bleeding into the keyboard level (no empty rows/columns, no encoder specific layouts, etc.), as those configurations can be redefined at the keymap level. Keymaps can then choose to use the `action_exec` hack. <!-- because people will complain, give them a way to implement it, in the meanwhile. To be removed. -->
- - [Request for official proper VIA support](https://github.com/the-via/app/issues/26)
+ - Encoder support should not require any keyboard-level code, and associated keymaps should now leverage the [Encoder Map](feature_encoders.md?id=encoder-map) feature instead.

- submitters can have a personal (or bells-and-whistles) keymap showcasing capabilities in the same PR but it shouldn't be embedded in the 'default' keymap

- for new MCUs, a new "child" keyboard should be added that targets your newly-added MCU, so that builds can be verified
- for new hardware support such as display panels, core-side matrix implementations, or other peripherals, an associated keymap should be provided
- if an existing keymap exists that can leverage this functionality this may not be required (e.g. a new RGB driver chip, supported by the `rgb` keymap) -- consult with the QMK Collaborators on Discord to determine if there is sufficient overlap already
+- any features adding `_kb`/`_user` callbacks must return a `bool`, to allow for user override of keyboard-level callbacks.
- other requirements are at the discretion of QMK collaborators
- core is a lot more subjective given the breadth of posted changes
