You load project-specific coding guidelines by running a discovery flow that reads the .trellis/spec/ indexes. This injects relevant pre-development checklists and shared thinking guides directly into your task context.

Pre-development checklists are project-specific coding standards read from .trellis/spec/ directories. You need them when starting new coding tasks, switching packages, or refreshing project conventions to ensure consistency.

To apply project standards when switching packages, run the discovery flow to read spec indexes for the target package. This automatically aligns your new task work with existing shared thinking guides and conventions.

Yes, the coding standards discovery works without external dependencies. It relies entirely on reading the existing .trellis/spec/ directory structure within your repository to extract project conventions.

The best way to refresh coding conventions is executing the discovery flow before writing any code. It reads spec indexes and pre-development guides for the target package, ensuring all subsequent implementation aligns with current standards.
