 ## Style ##
 
-The codebase uses StyleCop with default settings[1] to enforce coding style. Yes, some of the 
-decisions it makes are downright bizarre, and are certainly not what I would've personally chosen 
-but the less time spent debating coding style the more time left for coding.
-
-StyleCop should run on each build and give warnings for any violations. So please, follow the style;
-you'll get used to it in the end (I know I have).
-
-If the .NET core team decide on a style and write an automatic checker/tidy tool for that style,
-I'll gladly adopt it! I'm certainly not tied to the current style, I'm just tired of endless coding
-style debates. Someone decide for me goddammit!
+The codebase uses [.net core](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/blob/master/Documentation/coding-guidelines/coding-style.md) coding style. 
 
 Try to keep lines of code around 100 characters in length or less, though this is not a hard limit.
 If you're a few characters over then don't worry too much. 
 
-Documentation comments should also be formatted to a 100 character length to help keep them 
-readable.

 **DO NOT USE #REGIONS** full stop.
