SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams without documented coding standards produce inconsistent code, run subjective reviews, and onboard developers slowly. This Skill generates a complete, signable code standards document covering naming conventions, language rules, security, testing, and Git workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Standards Generation: Produces a structured Markdown document with naming conventions, TypeScript/React examples, quality metrics, linting configs, and security checklists. - Governance Integration: Enforces prerequisite signature checks, validation rules, and a Team Consensus approval flow before the document is accepted. - Use Case: A technical lead starting a new TypeScript/React project invokes the skill to produce a code standards document that the whole team reviews and signs, establishing enforceable review criteria from day one. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to generate the code standards document for your project by providing the tech stack, team size, and quality goals.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create coding standards for a development team?▼

Invoke the skill with your project name, languages, frameworks, team size, and quality goals. It generates a complete standards document covering naming conventions, language-specific rules, security, testing, and Git workflow, ready for team review and sign-off.

What should a code standards document include?▼

A complete document covers naming conventions, file organization, language-specific rules with examples, quality metrics like coverage and complexity targets, security guidelines, testing standards, code review checklists, and Git commit and branching conventions.

What prerequisites are required before generating code standards?▼

The software architecture document and governance document must exist and be signed before this skill runs. The Team Consensus role must also be assigned in the responsibles map, since it is the mandatory approval authority.

Does the skill support languages other than TypeScript?▼

The built-in template provides detailed TypeScript, JavaScript, and React examples, but the structure adapts to any stack. You provide your primary languages and frameworks as inputs, and the generated standards are scoped accordingly.

Why is the code standards generation blocked?▼

Generation is blocked when prerequisite documents are unsigned, the Team Consensus role is unassigned, or validation fails. Validation checks include canonical file path, no placeholders, no empty sections, correct document ID format, and valid cross-references.
