SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Core steering files (product, tech, structure) cannot cover every specialized domain of a project, leaving conventions for areas like API standards, testing, or security undocumented and inconsistent across sessions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Custom Steering Generation: Creates domain-specific steering documents in the project's steering directory beyond the core files. - Template-Based Authoring: Ships templates for api-standards, testing, security, database, error-handling, authentication, and deployment topics. - Codebase Pattern Analysis: Uses Glob, Grep, and Read to extract real project patterns instead of generic boilerplate, keeping documents to 100-200 lines. - Use Case: Ask for API standards steering, and the skill loads the api-standards template, analyzes your src/api directory, and writes a steering file documenting your REST conventions and error formats. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a custom steering document for API standards based on the patterns in this repository.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a custom steering document for my project?▼

Specify the domain or topic you want documented, such as API standards or testing approach. The skill loads a matching template, analyzes your codebase for real patterns, and writes a steering file into the project's steering directory.

What steering templates are available for custom domains?▼

Seven templates ship with the skill: api-standards, testing, security, database, error-handling, authentication, and deployment. Each can be customized based on patterns found in your actual codebase.

Can I override the built-in steering templates with my own?▼

Yes, repository-level overrides are supported by placing templates in the settings/templates/steering-custom directory under your Kiro configuration folder. These take precedence over the skill's bundled templates.

What happens if no template exists for my steering topic?▼

The skill generates the steering document from scratch using domain knowledge and codebase analysis. It still follows the core steering principles: patterns over lists, single domain per file, and concrete code examples.

How long should a custom steering document be?▼

Steering documents should stay between 100 and 200 lines, roughly a 2-3 minute read. The focus is on documenting patterns with concrete examples rather than exhaustive lists of files or components.
