SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams consistently adapt third-party or external skill workflows into their own Trellis project conventions without losing important guideline structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project-guideline integration: Adds a dedicated skill integration guide section into .trellis/spec/{target}/doc.md.
  • Reusable code example templates: Creates example files under .trellis/spec/{target}/examples/skills/<skill-name>/ using the .template suffix to avoid IDE issues.
  • Spec index updates: Inserts navigation entries into .trellis/spec/{target}/index.md so the integrated skill is discoverable in the workflow.

Quick Start

Use the command integrate-skill frontend-design to import that external skill’s patterns into your frontend development guidelines.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate third-party skill guidelines into Trellis specs?

Integrating external skills into project guidelines involves importing third-party patterns into your Trellis specs. The skill updates `.trellis/spec/{target}/doc.md` with a dedicated guide section and stores reusable code example templates under `.trellis/spec/{target}/examples/skills/`.

What is the best way to add external skill patterns to frontend development guidelines?

The best way to add external skill patterns to frontend development guidelines is by running the integration command with the target skill. It imports external best practices directly into your project-specific documentation and generates matching template files for your workflow.

Where are code example templates stored when adapting external skill workflows?

When adapting external skill workflows, code example templates are stored under `.trellis/spec/{target}/examples/skills/<skill-name>/`. The files use the `.template` suffix to prevent IDE issues while keeping the integrated patterns accessible for reuse.

Does integrating a new skill update the spec index navigation?

Yes, integrating a new skill updates the spec index navigation. The process inserts new entries into `.trellis/spec/{target}/index.md` so the integrated third-party skill becomes discoverable within your existing documentation workflow.

Can I use this to incorporate skill best practices into backend documentation workflows?

Yes, you can use this to incorporate skill best practices into backend documentation workflows. It adapts third-party skill workflows into project-specific conventions for frontend, backend, or documentation targets without losing the original guideline structure.

Why are template files saved with a .template suffix in Trellis specs?

Template files are saved with a `.template` suffix in Trellis specs to avoid IDE issues. This prevents the IDE from indexing or validating raw example templates as actual source code, while keeping the external skill patterns available for reference.
