Coding Preferences Skill Use this skill to keep /memory/coding-prefs.md in sync with how this specific user wants you to work. This file is user-scoped, so each user has their own copy — anything you write here only affects future conversations with the same user. When to Read Before picking a code style, test framework, or commit message format Before deciding whether to add comments, type hints, or docstrings Before refactoring beyond what was asked When to Write Append a new entry whenever the user gives feedback that should apply to future work: "Don't add docstrings unless I ask" → save it "I prefer pytest over unittest" → save it "Stop summarizing what you did at the end" → save it Each entry should be one line: the rule, then a brief reason if the user gave one. How to Write Read the file first (it may not exist yet), then append. Don't overwrite — preferences accumulate over time. If a new preference contradicts an existing one, replace the old line and note the change.
