+# Dependency Taskfiles
+
+Follow the guidelines below when writing or updating dependency installation taskfiles.
+
+* Use one of the following tasks for installation, in descending order of preference:
+  * `deps:utils:install-remote-cmake-lib`
+  * `yscope-dev-utils:cmake:install-remote-tar`
+
+* For special tasks that don't apply to the rule above:
+  * Include `deps:utils:init` in the `deps` section of the task.
+  * Briefly explain why if the library is installable via CMake.
+  * Ensure each library installation includes checksum validation using the best effort.
+    * Use of `yscope-dev-utils` tasks is encouraged, as most of them include proper checksum checks.
+  * Use `<lib>-extracted` as the directory name for tarball extractions.
+
+* Avoid parsing version numbers in download URLs unless the version is used elsewhere, as URL
+  formats can change over time, making it more maintainable to store and use the full URL directly
+  as plain text.
+
+## CMake Generate Arguments
+
+Apply the following guidelines to the `CMAKE_GEN_ARGS` section of tasks that call
+`deps:utils:install-remote-cmake-lib`:
+
+* Set `CMP0074` to `NEW` whenever:
+  * The component's minimum required CMake version is less than 3.27 (where `CMP0074` defaults to
+    `OLD`)
+  * The component depends on another via `<lib_name>_ROOT`.
+
+* Build both shared and static libraries when possible.
+
+* Skip unit tests, examples, docs or unused binaries to speed up the installation process.
+
+* Prefer disabling lib-specific testing flags (e.g., `CATCH_BUILD_TESTING=OFF`) rather than setting
+  the generic `BUILD_TESTING` to `OFF`.
+
+* **Lastly**, while satisfying the above requirements, remove redundant flags that merely restate
+  default values found in `CMakeLists.txt` and others source CMake files, with two exceptions:
+  * Set `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` to `Release` unless another build type is explicitly required.
+  * Set `CMAKE_INSTALL_MESSAGE` to `LAZY` to reduce log verbosity during installation.
