## What it does

This skill guides the creation and updates of conformetry generators, pairing a name with a workspace template folder. The configuration file exports an array where only `name` and `templatePath` are required. Optional entries include input schemas, instance selectors, hooks, and a conformance score threshold between 0 and 1.

The configuration loader rejects unknown properties, meaning old keys like `aliases` will trigger an immediate failure. There is no default configuration file on disk. Omitting the `--config <path>` flag on any command immediately halts execution with a `ConfigurationPathRequiredError`.

Input handling varies across hosts: the Nx plugin treats all inputs as mandatory, while the standalone CLI requires none. When implementing `preGenerate` or `postGenerate` hooks in TypeScript, modifications must use `context.filesystem` instead of `node:fs` to preserve clean dry runs and prevent broken workspace paths.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add organizzolini/codebase --skill conformetry-configure -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/conformetry-configure/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/conformetry-configure/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add organizzolini/codebase --skill conformetry-configure -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/conformetry-configure/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add organizzolini/codebase --skill conformetry-configure -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/conformetry-configure/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install organizzolini/codebase conformetry-configure
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/conformetry-configure/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add organizzolini/codebase --skill conformetry-configure -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/organizzolini/codebase --path projects/ic-suite/conformetry/conformetry-agents/skills/conformetry-configure
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/conformetry-configure/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add organizzolini/codebase --skill conformetry-configure -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/organizzolini/codebase/tree/HEAD/projects/ic-suite/conformetry/conformetry-agents/skills/conformetry-configure/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- configure a new conformetry generator with its template directory
- define validation rules for input parameters using JSON Schema fragments
- exclude third-party or generated directories with `exclude` globs
- implement pre- and post-generation hooks using `context.filesystem`

## Example prompts
- Set up a new conformetry generator for backend modules and point it to the template folder.
- Update the conformetry configuration to add enum validation for input schemas.
- Write a postGenerate hook in TypeScript that registers new files in context.generatedFilePaths.

description: Add or change a conformetry generator, and write the template it renders. Use when a needed generator does not exist yet; when editing a conformetry configuration file; when writing or changing files under a template directory; when choosing placeholders or naming-case variants; when a generated file came out with an empty value or an odd path segment; or when a conformetry command refuses to run because the emitted generator plugin is out of date.

# Configuring conformetry and writing templates

A **generator** pairs a name with a **template** — an ordinary folder of ordinary
files — and the inputs needed to render it. The configuration declares
generators; the template folder is the whole definition of what gets produced.
The same template is then what instances are measured against, so a template is
a standard as much as a starting point.

## The configuration

The configuration file default-exports an array, one entry per generator. Only
two fields are required:

| Field | Required | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | yes | How the generator is invoked |
| `templatePath` | yes | Template folder, relative to the workspace root |
| `inputs` | no | Values the template renders with, as JSON Schema fragments |
| `instances` | no | Where this generator's output already lives |
| `description` | no | Shown when generators are listed |
| `hooks` | no | Functions that run before and after generation; see [Hooks](#hooks) |
| `threshold` | no | Lowest conformance score this generator's instances may have, 0 to 1 |

Unknown keys are **rejected**, so a misspelled field — or `aliases`, which was
removed outright — fails the load rather than quietly doing nothing. Check your
entry took effect by listing the generators. Every `conformetry` command
requires `--config <path>` — there is no default configuration file:

```bash
conformetry templates --config configuration/conformetry.config.ts
```

A run without a path fails with a `ConfigurationPathRequiredError` naming the
flag or option that was left unset. In Nx that is the `configurationPath` option
of the `@conformetry/nx` plugin in `nx.json`, or the `configuration` option of
the executor and the `sync` generator.

A generator with neither `inputs` nor `instances` is legal: it renders a fixed
template that nothing validates afterwards.
