+### Protocol Conformance
+
+When adding protocol conformance to a class, prefer adding a separate class extension for the protocol methods. This keeps the related methods grouped together with the protocol and can simplify instructions to add a protocol to a class with its associated methods.
+
+**Preferred:**
+```swift
+class MyViewcontroller: UIViewController {
+  // class stuff here
+}
+
+extension MyViewcontroller: UITableViewDataSource {
+  // table view data source methods
+}
+
+extension MyViewcontroller: UIScrollViewDelegate {
+  // scroll view delegate methods
+}
+```
+
+**Not Preferred:**
+```swift
+class MyViewcontroller: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UIScrollViewDelegate {
+  // all methods
+}
+```
+
+
 ## Function Declarations
 
 Keep short function declarations on one line including the opening brace:
