To create domain-specific steering documents, this Skill loads project templates and analyzes your repository using targeted searches to generate concise, pattern-focused guidance files for API standards, testing strategies, and security practices.

Steering documents are concise, domain-focused guidance files that capture conventions, patterns, and decisions for specialized areas like database design or deployment procedures. You need them to preserve project memory and enforce consistent practices across your team.

You generate custom steering files by applying template-based customization alongside codebase analysis. The Skill reads repository files using glob and grep to extract domain patterns, then creates validated steering files grounded in your real project artifacts.

Yes, you can use custom templates to document security practices and deployment procedures. The Skill loads and customizes templates from your project's steering-custom templates directory to produce focused guidance tailored to those specific domains.

The best way to maintain concise project documentation is to apply steering-principles validation, which keeps generated files pattern-focused, maintainable in size, and strictly free of sensitive data extracted during repository analysis.

Yes, this steering document generator works without external dependencies. It relies on built-in repository file reading capabilities and your project's local template directory to analyze codebase artifacts and produce customized steering files.
