Add Project-Local Conventions

Often the user does not need to change Trellis mechanics; they need local AI to understand their team's conventions. In that case, prefer .trellis/spec/ or a project-local skill instead of editing trellis-meta.

Where To Put Things

Content type Location
Rules code must follow .trellis/spec/<layer>/
Cross-layer thinking methods .trellis/spec/guides/
AI capability for a project-specific flow Platform-local skill
One-off task material .trellis/tasks/<task>/
Session summary .trellis/workspace/<developer>/journal-N.md

Create A Project-Local Skill

If the user wants AI to know "how this project customizes Trellis," create a local skill:

.claude/skills/trellis-local/
└── SKILL.md

Example:

---
name: trellis-local
description: "Project-local Trellis customizations for this repository. Use when changing this project's Trellis workflow, hooks, local agents, or team-specific conventions."
---

# Trellis Local

## Local Scope

This skill documents this repository's Trellis customizations only.

## Custom Workflow Rules

- ...

## Local Hook Changes

- ...

## Local Agent Changes

- ...

For multi-platform projects, place equivalent versions in other platform skill directories, or use .agents/skills/ for platforms that support the shared layer.

Write To .trellis/spec/

If the content is a coding convention, write it to spec. Examples:

.trellis/spec/backend/error-handling.md
.trellis/spec/frontend/components.md
.trellis/spec/guides/cross-platform-thinking-guide.md

After writing it, update the corresponding index.md so AI can find the new rule from the entry point.

Make The Current Task Use New Conventions

After writing a spec, add it to the current task context:

python3 ./.trellis/scripts/task.py add-context <task> implement ".trellis/spec/backend/error-handling.md" "Error handling conventions"
python3 ./.trellis/scripts/task.py add-context <task> check ".trellis/spec/backend/error-handling.md" "Review error handling"

Do Not Store Project-Private Rules In trellis-meta

trellis-meta is a public skill for understanding Trellis architecture and local customization entry points. Put project-private content in:

  • .trellis/spec/
  • a project-local skill
  • the current task
  • workspace journal

This prevents future updates to Trellis's built-in trellis-meta from overwriting the team's own conventions.
