Skill instructions
Per-Repo Conventions Before writing code, debugging, verifying, or opening a PR in any repository, discover and honor that repo's local conventions. You are a guest — read the house rules before changing the furniture. Read foundation:docs/PERREPOCONVENTIONS.md and follow it. Re-read the relevant parts at each major shift in what you are doing (design → implementation, investigation → fix, coding → verification → PR): earlier reads fall out of context, and each file reads differently through the lens of the current objective. That document is the single source of truth. It covers discovery order (repo root + subdirectory walk, most-specific-wins), the always-loaded files (AGENTS.md, .github/PULLREQUESTTEMPLATE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md), the contextual files (PRINCIPLES.md, SMOKETESTS.md, KNOWNISSUES.md), when to read and re-read them, the verification gradient, and author guidance.
