Currently, the posting guidelines for Code Golf are the defaults on Codidact.
The pre existing guidelines on SE are the following:
The main points of discussion are:
- What would we like to add to the guidelines?
- What would we like to modify in the guidelines?
- Which existing/to be created meta posts should we reference in the guidelines?
This needs to be decided for each topic(each topic can be modified idividually), so please state which section you are talking about.

Since no one has posited anything yet...
I think everything but the last three bullets can be kept. Other than that, we could add in the tips about challenge specifications.

Posting Tips
- Your title should be a one sentence summary of your question.
- Break different topics up into paragraphs. Multiple paragraphs are easier to read than a wall of text.
- Use clear, simple language. Be specific.
- Reread your post before saving (preferably out loud) and rewrite anything that sounds awkward.
- Challenges should have a clear specification, with which entries can objectively be said to be valid.
- Including test cases and an example (un-golfed) solution is encouraged.
- Challenges should also have objective winning criteria.
- If you are unsure about your challenge, please post in the Sandbox before release.

Basically the same thing except for the last line
