SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ensures developers read and apply repository-specific pre-development guidelines so code changes follow established conventions, checklists, and package-level expectations before any implementation begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spec discovery: Finds package spec layers and indexes under .trellis/spec to determine applicable guidance.
  • Checklist-driven preparation: Directs developers to the Pre-Development Checklist and the specific guideline files required for the task.
  • Shared guide enforcement: Surfaces repository-wide guides and conventions to maintain consistent error handling, testing, and contribution patterns.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature, switching to a different package, or planning tests, use this Skill to ingest the package's spec and follow the checklist before writing code.

Quick Start

Discover and load the applicable .trellis/spec guidelines for the target package before writing any code.

Frequently Asked Questions about before-dev

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I load project coding guidelines before starting development?▼

To load project coding guidelines before development, discover and inject spec layers from the .trellis/spec directory into your developer context. This surfaces repository-wide conventions and pre-development checklists required for planning implementation.

What is a pre-development checklist for coding conventions?▼

A pre-development checklist for coding conventions is a repository-specific guide that directs developers to read package-level expectations and required guideline files before writing code. It ensures code changes follow established patterns for error handling and testing.

How do I find package-specific spec layers for a new task?▼

You find package-specific spec layers by locating spec indexes under the .trellis/spec directory. This discovery process determines the applicable guidance and surfaces referenced guideline files needed for your target package.

When do I need to refresh repository context for package conventions?▼

You need to refresh repository context for package conventions when switching to a different package or starting a new feature. This ensures you ingest the correct package spec and follow the pre-development checklist before implementation begins.

Does before-dev work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, before-dev operates without external dependencies to discover and inject project-specific coding guidelines. It relies entirely on locating the .trellis/spec directory within your repository to surface applicable guidance.
