What are steering documents?

Steering documents are contextual markdown files that define project-specific standards and patterns, helping AI assistants like Claude provide more accurate and relevant coding suggestions.

Does this work with other AI coding tools?

Yes, while optimized for Claude Code, these documents are compatible with Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and Windsurf.

Where are the documents stored?

All generated steering documents are placed in the .kiro/steering/ directory within your project's root folder.

Are the templates customizable?

Yes, the skill generates editable markdown files that you can refine to match your team's specific architectural decisions and coding preferences.

How does the AI know which guidelines to apply?

The documents use YAML front-matter to define inclusion logic, such as always including a document or only including it when specific file types (like .tsx or .py) are being edited.
