SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Consolidates and communicates project-specific coding guidelines from .trellis/spec/ before you begin work, helping teams align on conventions and reduce rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover packages and their spec layers using the trellis tooling (e.g., ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode packages).
  • Identify which specs apply to your task based on the target package and work type.
  • Read the spec index for relevant modules and then the actual guideline files (e.g., error-handling.md, conventions.md, mock-strategies.md).
  • Read shared guides to ensure alignment with broader project conventions.

Quick Start

Load the relevant .trellis spec and shared guides for your target package, then follow the Pre-Development Checklist before coding.
