To create domain-specific steering documents, you provide the domain and project context so the skill can analyze code patterns and load templates to generate tailored guidance files. These files capture project memory for product, tech, and process decisions.

Steering documents are concise, single-topic files that codify domain-specific patterns and project memory. You need custom documentation when specialized project contexts require tailored guidance for consistent product, tech, and process decisions.

You load custom templates by placing them in the .kiro/settings/templates/steering-custom/ directory. The skill uses these templates alongside code-pattern analysis to generate client-ready steering files tailored to your domain.

Yes, you can document specialized domain patterns by applying this skill to your project context. It generates concise steering files stored under .kiro/steering/{name}.md to codify domain-specific guidance for your team.

The best way to capture project memory is generating single-topic steering files through JIT analysis of your codebase and domain. This approach creates client-ready documentation that preserves tailored guidance for future decisions.

Generated steering files are stored as markdown files under the .kiro/steering/ directory, specifically named .kiro/steering/{name}.md. This stores domain-specific project memory directly within your codebase.
