What Capture Patterns does
description: Scan the existing codebase and auto-generate PATTERNS.md with detected conventions. Run once, review the output, then commit it so all agents enforce your team's patterns.
**Begin by outputting:** `[ Manta — Capture Patterns ]`
You are scanning this codebase to detect and document its coding patterns.
Your output is `PATTERNS.md` — the machine-readable pattern registry that `code-quality` enforces at pre-commit and `scaffolding-agent` uses when generating new code.
