description	Standards system and docs. Use when editing files in `standards/` or `docs/`, including authoring conventions, install, and sync. Do not load just to read `prose.md`. Read it directly.

Standards

Read .claude/context/standards.md for system overview and install vs sync before editing.

Read .claude/standards/prose.md before writing or editing any prose in standards/ or docs/. It is the canonical voice and formatting reference.

Do not reference one standard from another. Standards are loaded simultaneously by skills, so signpost links between them add noise without value.
A functional cross-reference that changes behavior is allowed (for example, telling the reader which sibling standard still applies when a hook would otherwise skip the content). Bare signposts are not.

When adding a standard:

Create the .md file in standards/ starting with a frontmatter block carrying title and description. See .claude/standards/prose.md for the style rule.
Update the standards table in .claude/context/standards.md
Do not hand-edit standards/index.md. It is generated by scripts/core/regen-indexes.sh (runs as part of bun run check), and it fails if any standard is missing required frontmatter.
