Infers a codebase's implicit coding conventions (naming, structure, imports, comments, error handling) by analyzing the existing code, then makes them explicit: generates linter/formatter configs that match current reality, a conventions document, and agent steering rules so AI-written code blends in. Use when adopting AI coding tools on an existing codebase or onboarding to an unfamiliar team style. Triggers on: "match our coding style", "infer our conventions…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Code Standards Adopter Most teams' real conventions live in the code, not in a style guide. This skill reads the codebase, infers the conventions actually in force, and turns them into enforceable artifacts — so newly written code (human or AI) matches what's already there instead of fighting it. The output is descriptive first, prescriptive second: capture what IS, flag inconsistencies, and let the team decide what SHOULD be. ## Process 1. **Sample the codebase.** Don't read everything. Pick 10-20 representative files: the most-recently-changed files (current style), the largest modules (dominant style), and one file per major directory. Note the languages and frameworks in play. 2. **Infer conventions per dimension** (see checklist below). For each, record: the dominant pattern, observed frequency (e.g. "camelCase in 18/20 files"), and exceptions worth flagging. 3. **Detect existing enforcement.** Check for linter/formatter configs (.eslintrc, ruff.toml, .editorconfig, checkstyle, prettier, gofmt assumptions), CI lint steps, and pre-commit hooks. Never generate a config that conflicts with one that exists — propose amendments instead. …

How to install
mdr add timwukp/agent-skills-best-practice/code-standards-adopter@sha256:c82747d924874cecThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
