Including this tag in your question indicates that your question is specific to [tag:code-golf]. You should not post challenges or challenge proposals to Meta using this tag. Those belong either on [CGCC Main](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions) or in the [Sandbox](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2140/sandbox-for-proposed-challenges).

Use this tag if your question is specific to challenges which use a scoring criteria involving reducing the bytes or characters used in answers. If your question could apply to other scoring criteria but is most common for [tag:code-golf] challenges, see if another tag fits your question better (such as [tag:scoring] or [tag:questions])

Typical questions with this tag ask about:

- Clarifications on how to count bytes under a specific circumstance
- Clarifications or questions about golfing languages (that is, languages specifically designed for short code, such as [GolfScript](http://www.golfscript.com/golfscript/), [CJam](https://sourceforge.net/p/cjam/wiki/Home/) or [Jelly](https://github.com/DennisMitchell/jelly))
- Clarifications about how code golf and similar scoring systems work
