Maintain consistent formatting and style choices throughout your codebase to improve readability and maintainability. This includes consistent variable syntax, proper quoting practices, and organized list formatting.

Key practices:

Example of good formatting:

# Consistent variable quoting
docker build -f "${DOCKERFILE}" -t "${TAG}" --target "${DOCKER_BUILD_TARGET}" .

# Well-formatted package list
RUN pip install \
    tox==2.1.1 \
    virtualenv==16.2.0

Consistent formatting reduces cognitive load for code reviewers and makes diffs cleaner when modifications are needed.
