name	repo-style-following
description	Follow existing repository style, commands, naming, file layout, test patterns, dependency conventions, and code shape. Use when implementing in an unfamiliar repo or module.

Repo Style Following

Use this skill when local conventions are unclear.

Read templates/code-style-contract.md when a concise style contract helps the task.

Workflow

1. Read active AGENTS.md or equivalent instructions.
2. Inspect nearby code for naming, file layout, imports, errors, tests, and dependency patterns.
3. Inspect project files for package manager, formatter, lint, typecheck, and test commands.
4. Match the repo's existing level of abstraction.
5. Prefer local utilities over new packages or new generic helpers.
6. If repo conventions conflict with a general best practice, follow the repo unless the conflict is unsafe; surface the conflict.

Guardrails

• Do not introduce a new style because it is personally preferred.
• Do not reformat untouched files.
• Do not change package manager or tooling conventions.
• Do not add a dependency without safe-dependency-change.
