💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the challenge of creating project-specific Agent Skills for any codebase by interviewing the developer about their conventions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Developer Interview: Interviews the developer to understand the project's conventions.
  • Skill Generation: Generates SKILL.md files that teach IDE agents how to write code matching the project's conventions.
  • Project-Specific Skills: The output is a .skills/ directory following the Agent Skills open standard with skills tailored to the project.
  • Use Case: If you have an existing project and want agents to understand your codebase's conventions, this skill can generate the necessary skills for you.

Quick Start

Run the 'generate-skills' command to create Agent Skills for your project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate agent skills for my existing codebase?

To generate agent skills for an existing codebase, run the 'generate-skills' command. This initiates a developer interview to learn project conventions and outputs a `.skills/` directory with tailored SKILL.md files.

What is the developer interview process for codebase analysis?

The developer interview process for codebase analysis asks targeted questions to understand your project's specific conventions. It uses your answers to generate project-specific Agent Skills that teach IDE agents how to write matching code.

Can I use generated skills to enforce project conventions on IDE agents?

Yes, you can use generated skills to enforce project conventions on IDE agents. The output follows the Agent Skills open standard, ensuring agents understand and write code matching your codebase's specific patterns.

Do I need to provide manual input to create project-specific agent skills?

Yes, you need to provide manual input during a developer interview to create project-specific agent skills. The Skill uses your responses regarding codebase conventions to automatically generate the necessary SKILL.md files.

What is the best way to teach an AI agent my codebase conventions?

The best way to teach an AI agent your codebase conventions is through an automated developer interview. This process extracts your project rules and generates standardized Agent Skills files for your IDE.

Are there limitations when generating skills for highly customized codebases?

The primary limitation when generating skills for highly customized codebases is the reliance on developer interview accuracy. The generated SKILL.md files only capture the conventions explicitly communicated during the interview process.
