|Generates coding standards documents by analyzing coding styles and patterns from existing source files.
Overview
This skill generates coding standards documents by analyzing existing source files to extract coding styles, patterns, and conventions. It examines one or more files (or entire folders), identifies the established coding style, and produces a comprehensive standards document that codifies the project's existing practices into a formal reference.
Key Features
- Style Extraction from Code - Analyzes provided source files to identify naming conventions, formatting patterns, comment styles, error handling approaches, and architectural patterns already in use
- Multiple Output Formats - Supports verbose, minimal, best-fit, and custom template styles for the generated standards document, adapting to different documentation needs
- Inconsistency Detection - Optionally finds and fixes coding style inconsistencies within the analyzed files, improving code consistency alongside documentation
- Flexible File Output - Automatically names the output file from a priority list (CONTRIBUTING.md, STYLE.md, CODING_STANDARDS.md, etc.), using the first non-existing filename to avoid conflicts
- Multi-File Analysis - When given multiple files or a folder, aggregates coding patterns across all files into a single unified standards document
Who is this for?
Tech leads and development teams who want to formalize their existing coding conventions into a written standards document. Ideal for projects that have an established codebase but lack formal coding guidelines, or teams onboarding new developers who need a clear reference for the project's coding style.
