SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This starter skill defines and standardizes the conventions used across a codebase so that Squad agents can operate with consistent patterns and language.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context-driven standards: centralizes coding practices, testing approaches, and file structures.
  • Pattern catalogs: documents recommended patterns, anti-patterns, and examples to guide agent behavior.
  • Onboarding & governance: accelerates new agent onboarding by providing a single source of truth for project conventions, reducing misinterpretations.

Quick Start

Replace the placeholder conventions with your team's real rules and start training agents on your codebase standards.

Frequently Asked Questions about project-conventions

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I define coding standards for automated agents?

Centralize your team's coding standards and file structure rules in an SKILL.md file, which extracts and indexes these conventions to ensure automated agents operate with consistent patterns and language.

What is the best way to accelerate onboarding for new AI agents?

Accelerate agent onboarding by providing a single source of truth for project conventions, which reduces misinterpretations and helps new agents quickly align with your codebase's required patterns and practices.

How do I document anti-patterns to prevent inconsistent code generation?

Document anti-patterns by creating a pattern catalog within your project conventions, capturing recommended approaches alongside examples to guide agent behavior and support reproducibility and safety checks.

Can I use project conventions to enforce testing approaches across tasks?

Yes, project conventions centralize testing approaches and coding practices, indexing this metadata to guide agent consistency and ensure reproducibility across all automated tasks.

Do I need dependencies to extract and index project conventions?

No dependencies are required to extract and index project conventions, as the skill operates standalone to capture context, patterns, and examples directly from your defined SKILL.md metadata.

When do I need to update project conventions for my codebase?

Update project conventions when your team's real rules, coding practices, or file structures change, ensuring the extracted metadata continues to accurately guide agent behavior and safety checks.
