What is the best way to maintain a knowledge base of bad coding practices to avoid?

Maintaining a knowledge base of bad coding practices involves documenting anti-patterns with a standard template and updating patterns/bad/anti-patterns.md so teams have a clear reference of issues and recommended fixes.

Can I use a standard template to record anti-patterns in my repository?

Yes, you can record anti-patterns using a standard template. The skill applies a standard format to log bad practices and their recommended fixes into a dedicated markdown file within the repository.

Does this anti-pattern documentation workflow create the directory structure automatically?

Yes, the anti-pattern documentation workflow creates the directory structure automatically. It generates the patterns/bad/ directories if they are missing before updating the anti-patterns.md file.

When should I use a dedicated anti-pattern file instead of inline code comments?

Use a dedicated anti-pattern file instead of inline comments when capturing knowledge for ADR or audit workflows. It centralizes bad practices and remediation steps for broader team visibility and codebase consistency.
