Use when setting up a new project's conventions, onboarding AI to an existing codebase, after team composition changes, or when AI output quality varies depending on who prompts — guides structured discovery of tacit team knowledge into explicit, enforceable artefacts.
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
# Convention Extraction Most team conventions live in people's heads — pattern recognition built from years of reviews, production incidents, and architectural discussions. They transfer slowly through pairing and code review, and walk out the door when someone leaves. AI amplifies this: without explicit conventions, AI output quality varies by who prompts. Same codebase, same AI, completely different quality gates. This skill guides systematic extraction of tacit knowledge into versioned, enforceable artefacts. The approach is informed by Rahul Garg's "Encoding Team Standards" (2026), which frames inconsistent AI output as a systems problem requiring a systems solution. This skill does not cover convention enforcement (see constraint-design and verification-slots), convention maintenance (see context-engineering and garbage-collection), or CI pipeline configuration. For the full interview protocol with worked examples, consult `references/extraction-interview-guide.md`. ## When to Extract | Situation | Signal | | ----------- | -------- | | New project setup | CLAUDE.md and HARNESS.md are empty or boilerplate | …

How to install
mdr add habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers/convention-extraction@sha256:ebaf88b6026f4317The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260415.bb944ba, 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.
