SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of a coding standards document by analyzing existing code files, ensuring consistency and best practices across a project.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Standard Generation: Analyzes provided code files or folders to infer coding styles (indentation, naming, commenting, etc.).
  • Flexible Output: Can create a new CONTRIBUTING.md or similar file, add standards to an existing README.md, or output directly to the prompt.
  • Inconsistency Detection & Fixing: Identifies and optionally corrects style inconsistencies within the analyzed code.
  • Use Case: You've inherited a Python project with inconsistent formatting. Use this Skill with a few sample files to generate a CODING_STANDARDS.md document that enforces a uniform style.

Quick Start

Use the write-coding-standards-from-file skill to analyze the file 'example.py' and create a new file named 'CODING_STANDARDS.md'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a coding standards document from existing Python files?

To generate a coding standards document from Python files, provide the files to the skill. It analyzes syntax and style to infer indentation, naming conventions, and formatting rules, outputting a standards document.

Can I automatically create a contributing guide from my codebase's existing style?

Yes, you can automatically create a contributing guide from your codebase's existing style. The skill analyzes provided folders to infer formatting rules and generates a new CONTRIBUTING.md file enforcing those standards.

What is the best way to detect and fix inconsistent code formatting across a project?

The best way to detect and fix inconsistent code formatting is analyzing sample files with this skill. It identifies style inconsistencies within the code and offers options to correct them while generating your standards document.

Can I append inferred code style rules directly to an existing README.md?

Yes, you can append inferred code style rules to an existing README.md. The skill supports flexible output, allowing you to add inferred formatting standards directly into existing documentation or output them to the prompt.

Does this coding standards generation tool support languages other than Python?

The metadata highlights Python examples, but the tool analyzes syntax and style from provided files or folders generally. It infers indentation, naming conventions, and commenting styles across the analyzed code to build standards.
