What happens if the codebase has inconsistent patterns?

The skill follows a hierarchy: it prefers newer code, maintained sections, and documented conventions over older, legacy patterns.

What are project conventions in Claude Code?

They are the specific rules and patterns—such as naming styles, file structures, and testing methods—that define how code is written and organized within a particular repository.

Is this skill user-invocable?

No, it functions as a background capability that guides Claude's internal reasoning whenever it explores a repository or prepares to write new code.

How does this skill find hidden project patterns?

It uses shell commands and directory exploration to analyze existing code, identifying recurring styles in imports, function naming, and component architecture.

Can it handle different programming languages?

Yes, the skill includes predefined patterns for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and general configurations like EditorConfig, Ruff, and Prettier.
