About This Skill
What it does
This skill analyzes a code file to generate coding standards that align with the style and structure of the existing code. It identifies conventions like naming patterns, formatting rules, and best practices used in the file.
When to use it
- You need to establish consistent coding standards for a new project based on an example file.
- You want to ensure new developers follow the same style as an existing codebase.
- You're refactoring legacy code and need guidelines that match the current structure.
Key capabilities
- Parses code files to detect naming conventions
- Identifies formatting patterns (e.g., indentation, spacing)
- Suggests best practices based on file content
Example prompts
- "Generate coding standards from this Python script."
- "What are the style guidelines for this JavaScript file?"
- "Create a style guide based on the structure of this C++ header file."
Tips & gotchas
- Provide a representative code sample to ensure accurate standard generation.
- Standards may vary depending on the language and project context, so review output carefully.
