To generate a coding style guide, you can analyze your source files to empirically infer dominant syntax and formatting patterns, then output a STYLE.md or CONTRIBUTING.md document reflecting those majority-rule conventions.

You can optionally apply non-destructive fixes for formatting inconsistencies detected during code analysis, but the tool only modifies code when explicitly requested and emphasizes validation via project linting tooling.

Documenting repository conventions across multiple languages involves analyzing provided files or folders to infer dominant patterns, reconciling inconsistencies, and generating a unified style guide that reports conflicts across all detected languages.

Empirical code analysis detects existing coding conventions by scanning source contents to identify dominant indentation, naming styles, comment formats, string quoting, and nesting patterns through majority-rule selection from the provided files.

You should avoid using an automated tool to create a coding standards document when your codebase lacks a dominant, consistent formatting pattern, as the tool relies on majority-rule inference and will only report unresolved conflicts rather than enforcing arbitrary rules.

Yes, it can insert the generated coding standards content directly into the appropriate section of existing README-style documentation, or write the conventions to a new STYLE.md or STYLEGUIDE.md file.
