Frequently Asked Questions about repo-analyser

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I discover coding conventions and architecture patterns in an unfamiliar repository?▼

To discover coding conventions in an unfamiliar repository, analyze the codebase structure, dependencies, and testing strategies to identify established architectural patterns and generate a conventions document for new contributors.

What is the best way to understand a codebase before contributing as a new developer?▼

Understanding a codebase before contributing involves analyzing the repository's coding styles, architectural patterns, and testing approaches to ensure new code adheres to existing practices and maintains consistency.

How do I identify architectural patterns like Clean Architecture or Vertical Slice in a project?▼

Identifying architectural patterns like Clean Architecture or Vertical Slice requires analyzing the repository's code structure and module organization to detect common conventions and document the findings.

Can I document repository conventions and coding standards for my team automatically?▼

You can automatically document repository conventions by analyzing the code structure, dependencies, and testing strategies to generate a `.planning/CONVENTIONS.md` file detailing the project's established practices.

Does this repository analysis approach require any specific dependencies or setup?▼

Repository analysis for convention discovery requires no specific dependencies or setup tools, functioning directly on the software repository to extract coding styles and architectural patterns.

When should I analyze repository conventions instead of reading the code manually?▼

Analyzing repository conventions is preferable when conventions are unclear or when onboarding new contributors, as it systematically identifies architectural patterns and testing strategies faster than manual code review.
