Individual skill
inherit-legacy-style
Legacy-project style inheritance skill. Use when the user types /inherit-legacy-style, or when onboarding an AI coding agent onto a hand-written legacy project and you need to prevent "style drift" (the model imposing its pretrained mainstream idioms onto the project). Language- and framework-agnostic — it aligns meta-architecture only, not syntax. Once run, it becomes a behavioral constraint on all subsequent coding tasks. Do NOT use for pure research or one-off questions unrelated to code-style alignment.

# 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.
