Where should I store my project-specific rules?

Place your guidelines in a file located at .sdd/project-guidelines.md within your repository root for the skill to detect them.

Can this skill handle documentation located in multiple different files?

Yes, it can read a 'Referenced Documentation' section in your main guidelines file and automatically process external READMEs, ADRs, and style guides.

Which Claude Code roles benefit from this skill?

It is designed to be used by technical architects during design, developers during implementation, and reviewers during compliance checks.

What happens if I haven't created a guidelines file yet?

The skill will attempt to discover implicit patterns by exploring your codebase and may recommend formalizing those patterns into a new guidelines file.

Productivity & Workflow

Standardizes how Claude discovers and applies project-specific coding conventions for error handling, naming, and testing.

The Project Guidelines skill provides a structured framework for Claude Code to ingest and adhere to your team's specific engineering standards. By automatically scanning for a central configuration file in the .sdd directory, this skill ensures that AI agents—from architects to developers—remain consistent with your project's unique patterns for logging, error propagation, and file naming. It bridges the gap between generic best practices and project-specific requirements, reducing technical debt and manual review time by ensuring code is generated correctly the first time according to your existing architecture.
