Teams can give coding agents a skills.md file to make them follow repo-specific workflows

The post argues that engineering teams should build a skills library for AI coding assistants to automate parts of the SDLC.
Main idea:
- Instead of relying on default LLM behavior, teams should provide a dedicated skills.md file inside the repo.
- That file can encode how the team actually ships software, including proprietary deployment patterns and internal context.
- The goal is to make tools like Cursor or GitHub Copilot more precise and less generic.
- The linked hands-on guide/video explains how to build the skills library from scratch.
