SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automatically analyzes an existing codebase to discover and document its actual coding standards, patterns, and conventions, providing a living style guide for consistent development. It eliminates the manual effort of creating and maintaining documentation for code quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Standards Discovery: Identifies file naming, TypeScript patterns, component structures, testing conventions, and styling approaches directly from your code.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Creates a coding-standards.md document with observed patterns and actual code examples from the codebase.
  • Tool Configuration Analysis: References existing ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript, and testing tool configurations to ensure alignment with established rules.
  • Evidence-Based: Documents what is in the codebase, not just what should be, providing a practical guide for developers.
  • Use Case: Run this on any unfamiliar project to instantly generate a detailed coding-standards.md, saving new team members days of onboarding and ensuring consistent code quality.

Quick Start

Document your project's coding standards

Skill(command: "standards")

This will analyze your codebase and create docs/coding-standards.md

Frequently Asked Questions about Coding Standards Analysis

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically document my codebase's coding standards?▼

Coding standards analysis automatically discovers and documents your actual patterns by scanning file naming, TypeScript conventions, testing approaches, and tool configurations like ESLint and Prettier, then generates a living coding-standards.md guide with real code examples.

Can I use this on a monorepo or multi-app project?▼

Yes, coding standards analysis works on monorepos, single-app projects, and libraries. It identifies patterns across your entire codebase structure and generates unified documentation regardless of project scale or complexity.

What output do I get from analyzing my codebase?▼

The analysis produces docs/coding-standards.md with observed patterns and examples, a JSON summary of conventions, and references to your existing ESLint, Prettier, and TypeScript configurations aligned with discovered standards.

How does this differ from writing a manual style guide?▼

Coding standards analysis documents what actually exists in your code, not prescriptive rules. It discovers real patterns from your codebase and tool configs, ensuring documentation reflects current practices and requires no manual maintenance.

What happens if my project uses custom linting or formatting rules?▼

The analysis references your existing ESLint, Prettier, tsconfig, and testing tool configurations directly, so custom rules and formatting preferences are automatically incorporated into the generated standards documentation.
