Discovers and injects project-specific coding guidelines from .trellis/spec/ before implementation begins. Reads spec indexes, pre-development checklists, and shared thinking guides for the target package. Use when starting a new coding task, before writing any code, switching to a different package, or needing to refresh project conventions and standards.
Read the relevant development guidelines before starting your task.
Execute these steps:
Discover packages and their spec layers:
python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode packages
Identify which specs apply to your task based on:
cli/, docs-site/)Read the spec index for each relevant module:
cat .trellis/spec/<package>/<layer>/index.md
Follow the "Pre-Development Checklist" section in the index.
Read the specific guideline files listed in the Pre-Development Checklist that are relevant to your task. The index is NOT the goal — it points you to the actual guideline files (e.g., , , ). Read those files to understand the coding standards and patterns.
error-handling.mdconventions.mdmock-strategies.mdAlways read shared guides:
cat .trellis/spec/guides/index.md
Understand the coding standards and patterns you need to follow, then proceed with your development plan.
This step is mandatory before writing any code.
