# Rules Skill
This skill provides access to project-specific coding rules and conventions stored in `~/.factory/rules/`.
## Available Rule Files
- **code.md** - General coding conventions and best practices
- **github.md** - GitHub-specific workflows and conventions
- **markdown.md** - Markdown formatting rules
- **project.md** - Project-specific conventions
- **python.md** - Python-specific coding standards
- **subagents.md** - Guidelines for using subagents
## When to use this skill
- When starting work on a new task to understand project conventions
- When unsure about coding standards for a specific language or context
- When setting up new code that should follow existing patterns
## Usage
Read the rule files from `~/.factory/rules/` and apply them as needed.
### ColGREP Init
When starting work on a project, run `colgrep init` to build the semantic search index. This enables the colgrep skill for semantic code search across the codebase. The index auto-updates on subsequent searches, so `init` only needs to run once per project.
### Markdown Table Justification
To justify markdown tables (ASCII character count justified), use the built-in script:
```bash
# Justify tables in a file (executable with uv shebang)
~/.factory/skills/rules/table_justify.py <file>
# Or via python
python ~/.factory/skills/rules/table_justify.py <file>
# Justify and save to new file
~/.factory/skills/rules/table_justify.py <file> -o <output>
# Justify from stdin
cat table.md | ~/.factory/skills/rules/table_justify.py
```
## Research
- Back all claims with reference code.
- State only what is proven.
- If evidence is lacking, say: "I can't find any evidence to support this claim" or "Not enough info".
