What problem does it solve?
Manually keeping coding pattern rule files in sync with a central master pattern reference document is time-consuming and prone to human error, especially for teams maintaining large sets of prescriptive coding standards across multiple project areas.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Rule Generation: Creates new pattern rule files directly from sections of the master PATTERNS.md reference document, following a standardized template.
- Gap Detection & Sync: Diffs existing rule files against the master reference to identify new patterns, outdated entries, and orphaned rules, with support for targeted section sync and dry-run previews.
- Compliance Validation: Automatically validates generated rule files against team prescriptive content standards and token limits before applying changes.
- Use Case: A .NET engineering team can use this skill to quickly propagate new security or architecture patterns from a central PATTERNS.md document to individual rule files, ensuring all team members follow the latest coding standards without manual copy-paste work.
Quick Start
Invoke the pattern-generate skill with the --sync flag to automatically sync all patterns from the master reference document to your project's rule files.
