Pattern matching compares modified file paths to glob patterns in steering file front matter to determine which guidance applies. The skill returns matching steering files sorted by priority, enabling context-aware orchestration based on files being changed.

Steering files contain front matter with `applyTo` glob patterns and priority levels. The skill evaluates file paths against these patterns and returns results sorted by priority (highest first) so the most relevant guidance is injected into agent prompts deterministically.

Yes. The skill enables token-efficient context injection by matching modified file paths to steering patterns, returning only applicable guidance. This lets orchestrators inject relevant instructions automatically without redundant or irrelevant context.

Yes. The skill provides a PowerShell script (Get-ApplicableSteering.ps1) that accepts file paths and a steering directory path, returning applicable steering entries for integration into orchestration and automation pipelines.

All matching steering files are returned in a single list sorted by priority (highest first). This deterministic ordering ensures the most relevant guidance is considered first, enabling predictable context injection when multiple patterns apply.

You define glob patterns in steering file front matter `applyTo` fields. The skill matches your modified file paths against these patterns you create, so steering guidance is customized to your codebase structure and orchestration requirements.
