Project Standards

Capture and maintain organizational standards and best practices for a codebase. Operates in two modes: infer (auto-detect patterns from the repo) and add (manually capture a standard or rule).

All standards are stored in .chalk/docs/engineering/project-standards.md.

Determining the Mode

• If $ARGUMENTS is empty or the user asks to "set up", "infer", "detect", or "generate" standards → Infer mode
• If $ARGUMENTS contains a specific rule or the user says "add a rule", "add standard", "add best practice" → Add mode
• If unclear, ask the user which mode they want.

Infer Mode

Scan the codebase to auto-detect enforced patterns and generate a baseline project standards document.
