SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious and often outdated manual process of documenting coding standards and conventions for an existing codebase, ensuring that all team members and AI agents adhere to current practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Codebase Analysis: Analyzes project structure, tool configurations (ESLint, Prettier, tsconfig), and code patterns.
  • Pattern Identification: Identifies conventions for file naming, TypeScript usage, component structure, testing, and styling.
  • Standards Document Generation: Creates a comprehensive coding-standards.md document reflecting actual project practices.
  • Use Case: Generate a comprehensive coding-standards.md document for your existing React project, detailing its file naming conventions, TypeScript patterns, and testing standards.

Quick Start

Analyze my React project and generate a coding-standards.md document based on its existing code patterns.

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

Analyze your project's structure, ESLint and Prettier configurations, TypeScript settings, and code patterns to automatically generate a comprehensive `coding-standards.md` document that reflects actual conventions your team follows.

Can I extract coding conventions from ESLint and Prettier configs?

Yes. The analysis reads ESLint, Prettier, tsconfig, and editorconfig files to identify and document file naming, TypeScript usage, component structure, and styling conventions already embedded in your tooling.

What should I do when onboarding to a new codebase?

Generate a `coding-standards.md` document by analyzing the existing project. This ensures you and your team understand current practices without relying on outdated or incomplete manual documentation.

Does this work with React projects?

Yes. Analyze React projects to identify and document file naming conventions, TypeScript patterns, component structure, testing standards, and styling approaches based on observed code patterns and tool configurations.

What output formats does the analysis produce?

The Skill generates a `coding-standards.md` document, a JSON summary of conventions, and tool configuration details extracted from your project structure and existing tooling setup.

When should I update coding standards documentation?

Run the analysis when updating outdated standards, during feature-delivery workflows, or as part of onboarding to ensure your documentation stays synchronized with actual project practices.
