create-instructions

Invoke this Skill and describe the rule or convention to enforce. It reviews the conversation for corrections and preferences, drafts a .instructions.md file, and iterates with you until the rule is clear and scoped correctly.

An .instructions.md file stores persistent project rules and conventions that an AI agent loads automatically. It prevents repeating the same corrections, such as style preferences or forbidden patterns, across sessions.

Yes. During creation the Skill asks whether the rule applies everywhere or only to specific files, technologies, or file types, so the resulting instruction is scoped precisely to the intended context.

The Skill asks clarifying questions about scope, affected technologies, and whether the rule is mandatory or a preference. It can also explore the codebase with subagents to gather more context before drafting.

Use an instructions file when you find yourself correcting the agent repeatedly on the same pattern, such as naming conventions or library choices. Persistent rules remove that repetition and keep output consistent.
