FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce project conventions and coding standards across multiple squads?▼

To enforce project conventions across squads, navigate to the .guidelines/index.md master file to locate domain-specific guidelines, ensuring a single source of truth for consistent coding and review practices before implementing changes.

What is a .guidelines directory and how does it maintain documentation consistency?▼

A .guidelines directory maintains documentation consistency by serving as a repository-wide index where teams store and retrieve domain-mapping conventions for frontend, backend, and deployment tasks, promoting compliance across the project.

Do I need a valid index file to use repository-wide guidelines for compliance?▼

Yes, you need a valid .guidelines/index.md file and well-maintained guideline files to locate and apply project-wide conventions, as the system requires this master index to direct users to domain-specific documentation.

What's the best way to locate domain-specific guidelines before starting a coding task?▼

The best way to locate domain-specific guidelines is opening the .guidelines/index.md master index and reviewing the documentation mapped to your specific task domain, ensuring compliance before you begin coding or review work.

When should I not use a master index for project conventions?▼

You should not rely on a master index for project conventions if the .guidelines/index.md file is missing or the guideline files are poorly maintained, as the system requires valid inputs to enforce consistent practices across squads.
