FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce coding guidelines before starting development on a new package?▼

To incorporate project guidelines before coding, this Skill discovers and injects project-specific standards from the .trellis/spec/ directory into your task context. It reads spec indexes and pre-development checklists to align new work with conventions.

What is the best way to load project conventions and shared thinking guides for a new coding task?▼

The best way to load project conventions is by reading spec indexes, pre-development checklists, and shared thinking guides from the .trellis/spec/ repository. This injects relevant guidelines directly into your current task context.

When do I need to refresh project standards during software development?▼

You need to refresh project standards when starting a new coding task, before writing any code, or switching to a different package. This ensures you apply the most relevant pre-development checklists and shared guides to maintain consistency.

Does this approach require a specific directory structure to apply pre-development checklists?▼

Yes, applying pre-development checklists requires a .trellis/spec/ directory structure. The process discovers and reads project-specific coding guidelines, spec indexes, and shared guides from this repository to inject into the task context.

How do I keep coding practices consistent across multiple packages in a project?▼

To keep coding practices consistent across multiple packages, inject project-specific guidelines from the .trellis/spec/ directory into the task context. This enforces standards by applying shared thinking guides and pre-development checklists to each package.
