What it does

This skill is a prompt template. When an agent uses it, it produces a ready-made instruction telling the agent to scan your project, pick out well-written files (for example, a clean service class or a well-structured test), and write an exemplars.md document pointing to them. The result is a team reference for how code should be written, so new features can follow existing patterns. It is configurable for language, scan depth, categorization, and whether snippets or comments are included.

Great for

  • Development teams that want a written guide to their own coding standards
  • Engineers onboarding to an existing codebase who need examples of established patterns
  • Tech leads preparing consistency guidelines before a large feature push

Skip it if

  • Projects without enough existing code to show good patterns, since the output would be weak or generic
  • Anyone expecting the skill to enforce standards or fix code; it only documents examples and does not run checks

Try asking

  • “Scan this codebase and generate an exemplars.md showing our best service layer and repository examples”
  • “Create a Comprehensive exemplars.md for our React frontend focused on component structure and state management”
  • “Generate exemplars.md grouped by architecture layer for our Java backend, with up to 3 examples per layer”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Set PROJECT_TYPE explicitly rather than Auto-detect if your repository mixes several languages, to get more focused results
  • Review the generated exemplars.md before sharing it, since the agent's judgement of 'high quality' is subjective and may pick imperfect files
  • Use Comprehensive depth only when you want consistency and anti-pattern notes; Basic is faster for a quick reference
