Frequently Asked Questions about coding-standards

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a coding standards document for an existing codebase?▼

To generate coding standards, this skill scans your repository structure and configuration files to analyze code patterns, automatically producing a CODING_STANDARDS.md file with naming, importing, and formatting rules.

What is the best way to enforce coding conventions across a software project?▼

Enforcing coding conventions is achieved by analyzing your tech stack and code patterns to generate a comprehensive style guide, codifying naming, testing, security, and documentation standards into a markdown file.

Can I automatically update AGENTS.md to align AI agents with my project's style guide?▼

Yes, you can update AGENTS.md automatically. The skill generates project coding standards and optionally integrates them into AGENTS.md to ensure AI agents follow your specific code conventions.

Does the coding standards generation process work without predefined linting configurations?▼

Yes, it works without predefined linting configurations. The skill discovers existing conventions by scanning repository structures and configuration files, analyzing code patterns directly to define standards.

How do I codify import organization and formatting rules during project onboarding?▼

You codify import organization and formatting rules by running the skill during project onboarding. It analyzes your code patterns and generates a comprehensive standards document covering these conventions.

What limitations exist when automating style guide creation for a new codebase?▼

A limitation of automating style guide creation is that it relies on discovering existing code patterns and configurations. For a new codebase with minimal code, stakeholder clarifications may be required to define conventions.
