-
Locate - Find project root (look for
.git,package.json,Cargo.toml,deno.json, etc.) -
Analyze - Determine:
- Project-specific conventions and patterns
- Key practices unique to this codebase
- Testing approach if applicable
-
Draft - Create the skill file with:
- Frontmatter:
name,description - Concise, actionable conventions
- Code examples where helpful
