SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? After running trellis init, AI assistants often lack a map of the generated .trellis/ directory and platform integration files, leading to edits in the wrong place (such as node_modules or upstream source) or broken workflow semantics. This Skill gives the AI a complete architectural model and customization entry points for local Trellis projects. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Architecture Reference: Explains the three-layer local Trellis model covering workflow.md, tasks, specs, workspace memory, and context injection. - Platform File Map: Documents where hooks, settings, agents, skills, and commands live across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Kiro, Gemini, and other platforms. - Customization Guides: Provides task-oriented guides for changing workflows, task lifecycles, context loading, hooks, agents, skills, and spec structure. - Use Case: A user asks to make the check agent run project-specific lint commands; the AI reads the change-agents guide, locates the platform's trellis-check agent file, and edits it while preserving role boundaries. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to use the trellis-meta skill to change the local Trellis workflow so that task creation is optional for small fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions about trellis-meta

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I customize the Trellis workflow in my project?

Edit .trellis/workflow.md, which is the local workflow source of truth defining phases, skill routing, and workflow-state prompt blocks. After editing, check that platform entry files like skills and commands still describe the same flow.

How do I change trellis-implement or trellis-check agent behavior?

Edit the platform agent files in your project, such as .claude/agents/trellis-*.md or .codex/agents/trellis-*.toml. Keep role boundaries intact, specify read order starting from the active task PRD, and define explicit write boundaries.

Which platforms does Trellis support for hooks and agents?

Trellis generates platform directories for Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex, Kiro, Gemini CLI, Qoder, CodeBuddy, GitHub Copilot, Factory Droid, and Pi Agent. Main-session platforms like Kilo, Antigravity, and Windsurf rely on workflows and skills instead of sub-agents.

Why does my AI not see the current Trellis task in a new session?

Check whether the platform session-start hook is registered in settings and whether it calls .trellis/scripts/get_context.py. Also verify active task state exists in .trellis/.runtime/sessions/ and that the shell passes session identity.

Should I edit node_modules or Trellis source to customize behavior?

No. Default to editing generated local files inside your project: .trellis/ and platform directories. Only touch upstream Trellis source when you explicitly want to contribute a PR, fork the CLI, or change npm package contents.

Where should I put team-specific coding conventions in Trellis?

Put coding conventions in .trellis/spec/ under the appropriate layer with an index.md entry point, or create a project-local skill. Do not store team-private rules in the public trellis-meta skill, since updates could overwrite them.
