SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Developers often don't know which organisational coding standards exist, who owns them, or when they are applied during planning and implementation. This Skill explains the Trigent standards plugin so teams apply the right conventions for their stack. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Standards Overview: Lists available standards files (global, .NET, Rails, IaC) with their scope and key contents. - Application Guidance: Explains how aidlc-design loads standards during architectural planning and how aidlc-bolt applies them for greenfield versus brownfield implementation. - Ownership & Governance: Identifies the owning guild or chapter for each standard and notes that deviations require an ADR. - Use Case: A developer starting a new .NET API asks which libraries and conventions apply, and learns that dotnet.md covers CQRS/MediatR patterns, preferred packages, and xUnit/NSubstitute testing conventions. ## Quick Start Ask how Trigent coding standards work and which conventions apply to your technology stack.

FAQPage Schema
How do Trigent coding standards get applied during development?▼

Standards are loaded by other skills at different stages. During planning, aidlc-design loads global.md plus the project-type file for architectural decisions. During implementation, aidlc-bolt loads project-type standards for greenfield work or matches existing codebase patterns for brownfield work.

What coding standards exist for .NET and Rails projects?▼

The dotnet.md file covers project structure, CQRS/MediatR, preferred packages, and xUnit/NSubstitute testing. The rails.md file covers REST/GraphQL patterns, preferred gems, and RSpec conventions. A global.md file applies to all projects with security, observability, and API design guidance.

Does the standards plugin cover Terraform and infrastructure code?▼

Yes, the iac.md standard covers Terraform and Terragrunt conventions including module structure, naming, state management, and Azure targets. It is owned by the DevSecOps Chapter and loaded during planning for infrastructure work.

When are application profiles used instead of project standards?▼

Application profiles are .NET-only, Trigent-specific patterns for app types like Web API, Function App, and Mixed Solution. They are implementation-level references used by aidlc-bolt, not loaded during architectural planning with aidlc-design.

What happens if I need to deviate from a Trigent standard?▼

Any deviation from a standard requires an ADR (Architecture Decision Record) documenting the rationale. Each standard has a designated owner, such as the Architecture Guild for global.md or the .NET Chapter for dotnet.md.
