Code Standards — Universal AI Tool Configuration Generator

Generate code standards files based on Linus Torvalds' "Good Taste" philosophy. Auto-detects AI tools in your project and creates the appropriate configuration files in the user's language.

When to Use

  • User wants to set up coding standards for a project
  • User wants to sync code quality rules across AI coding tools
  • User mentions "code standards", "init claude md", "code review", or equivalent in any language

Instructions for Agent

Step 1: Detect Language & Read Template

Detect the user's language. Read the matching template from this skill's
references/
directory:
  • Simplified Chinese →
    references/code-standards-zh-CN.md
  • Traditional Chinese →
    references/code-standards-zh-TW.md
  • Japanese →
    references/code-standards-ja.md
  • All other languages →
    references/code-standards-en.md

Step 2: Detect AI Tools

bash
PROJECT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)

[ -d "$PROJECT_ROOT/.cursor" ] && echo "CURSOR"
[ -f "$PROJECT_ROOT/AGENTS.md" ] || [ -d "$PROJECT_ROOT/.codex" ] && echo "CODEX"
[ -f "$PROJECT_ROOT/GEMINI.md" ] || [ -d "$PROJECT_ROOT/.gemini" ] && echo "GEMINI"
[ -d "$PROJECT_ROOT/.github" ] && echo "COPILOT"
[ -d "$PROJECT_ROOT/.windsurf" ] || [ -f "$PROJECT_ROOT/.windsurfrules" ] && echo "WINDSURF"
[ -f "$PROJECT_ROOT/.aider.conf.yml" ] && echo "AIDER"
[ -d "$PROJECT_ROOT/.clinerules" ] || [ -d "$PROJECT_ROOT/.roo" ] && echo "CLINE"

Step 3: Generate Files

Write the template content directly. No confirmation needed — the user invoked this skill, that IS the intent.
Always generate:
CLAUDE.md
For each detected tool, also generate:
ToolFileNotes
Cursor
.cursor/rules/code-standards.mdc
Prepend
---\ndescription: "Linus Torvalds code standards"\nalwaysApply: true\n---\n
Codex
AGENTS.md
Same content
Gemini
GEMINI.md
Same content
Copilot
.github/copilot-instructions.md
mkdir -p .github
first
Windsurf
.windsurfrules
Same content
Aider
CONVENTIONS.md
Same content
Cline/Roo
.clinerules/code-standards.md
mkdir -p .clinerules
first

Step 4: Report

Report created files in the user's language. Keep it brief.

Response Guidelines

  1. Execute immediately — No confirmation, no "shall I proceed?". Just write.
  2. Unconditionally overwrite existing files — Always overwrite CLAUDE.md and other config files without asking. The invocation is explicit intent to replace.
  3. Respond in user's language — Match the language they used to invoke.
  4. No extra commentary — Detect, write, report. Done.
