.claude/skills/create-steering-documents/# Create Steering Documents Create comprehensive steering documents for a development project based on the project type and requirements. ## Usage ``` Create steering documents for [project description] ``` ## Examples - `Create steering documents for a React TypeScript e-commerce application` - `Create steering documents for a Python Django REST API with PostgreSQL` - `Create steering documents for a Node.js microservices architecture` - `Create steering documents for a Vue.js component library` ## What Are Steering Documents? Steering documents are contextual guidelines that influence how AI assistants approach development tasks. They contain project-specific standards, conventions, and best practices that help provide more relevant and consistent assistance. ### How They Work 1. **Always Included (Default)**: Documents without front-matter are included in every interaction 2. **File Match Conditional**: Documents with `inclusion: fileMatch` are included when specific files are in context 3. **Manual Inclusion**: Documents with `inclusion: manual` are only included when explicitly referenced ## Process ### 1. Project Analysis First, analyze the project requirements and determine which steering documents are needed: **For Frontend Projects (React, Vue, Angular):** - Include: project-standards.md, git-workflow.md, frontend-standards.md, development-environment.md - Consider: component-library.md, testing-strategy.md **For Backend/API Projects (Node.js, Python, Java):** - Include: project-standards.md, git-workflow.md, api-design.md, development-environment.md - Consider: database-standards.md, security-guidelines.md **For Full-Stack Projects:** - Include: All core documents plus technology-specific ones - Consider: deployment-standards.md, monitoring-guidelines.md **For Library/Package Projects:** - Include: project-standards.md, git-workflow.md, documentation-standards.md - Consider: versioning-strategy.md, publishing-guidelines.md ### 2.
