Inherit Legacy Style
Prevents AI code style drift in legacy projects by scanning the codebase for implicit conventions across 4 meta-architecture dimensions, resolving conflicts with the user one at a time, and crystallizing the consensus into an enforceable .ai-style-rules.md. Fully language- and framework-agnostic.
When to Activate
- User types
/inherit-legacy-style - User mentions onboarding AI onto a hand-written legacy project
- User is worried about AI-generated code "drifting" from existing project conventions
- User wants to extract and codify their project's implicit coding rules
When to Use
Use this skill when you need to preserve legacy project style and prevent AI-generated style drift. See When to Activate above for trigger conditions.
Prerequisites
- Git (recommended; non-Git projects fall back to file timestamps for incremental mode)
- Read/Write access to the project root (generates
.ai-style-rules.mdand optionallyCLAUDE.md)
