To generate project steering docs, this Skill analyzes project manifests like package.json, directory structures, and existing conventions to produce product.md, tech.md, and structure.md files under the .spec/steering directory.

AI steering documents provide project-specific context to reduce ambiguity during development. You need them when onboarding developers, aligning architecture decisions, or codifying project conventions for AI interactions.

Yes, you can generate steering docs from various manifest files. The Skill analyzes manifests including pyproject.toml, go.mod, and package.json alongside your directory structure to extract project characteristics.

You create custom steering guides by running the Skill to analyze your code patterns and documentation. It generates custom-*.md files alongside standard guides under .spec/steering based on detected project conventions.

The best way to codify architecture decisions is generating dedicated steering documents. This Skill extracts technical context from manifests and documentation to produce structured tech.md and product.md guides.

AI guidance documentation relies on analyzing manifest files like package.json or pyproject.toml. Without these manifests, the Skill lacks the foundational project context needed to generate accurate steering docs.
