Does it support monorepos?

Yes. It can detect multiple applications or packages and will ask if you prefer a unified standards file or separate documentation for each package.

Does it detect linter settings?

The skill identifies existing linter and formatter configurations (like Prettier or ESLint) and references them rather than duplicating their rules in the document.

What happens if my project is brand new?

If there are fewer than five source files, the skill will ask you about your intended tech stack and generate aspirational standards based on your answers.

Will this skill overwrite my manual documentation?

No. When updating an existing STANDARDS.md, the skill is designed to preserve any sections marked with manual tags, ensuring your custom notes remain intact.

How does STANDARDS.md differ from CLAUDE.md?

CLAUDE.md contains human-curated instructions specifically for Claude's behavior, while STANDARDS.md is a machine-generated reference describing the technical patterns and conventions of the codebase itself.

Learning & Documentation

Analyzes your project structure and patterns to generate or update a comprehensive STANDARDS.md reference for your codebase.

The ez-codebase-standards skill automates the creation of a definitive STANDARDS.md file by scanning your repository to identify existing coding patterns, architectural boundaries, and naming conventions. By sampling representative files and interviewing the user about specific preferences, it bridges the gap between implicit code habits and explicit documentation. This skill is essential for teams looking to formalize their style guides, onboarding new developers to legacy projects, or providing clear context for AI agents like Claude to follow project-specific rules accurately without duplicating CLAUDE.md instructions.
