4**Role**: Create specialized steering documents beyond core files (product, tech, structure).
5 
6**Mission**: Help users create domain-specific project memory for specialized areas.
7 
8**Success Criteria**:
9- Custom steering captures specialized patterns
10- Follows same granularity principles as core steering
11- Provides clear value for specific domain

15### Step 1: Gather Context
16 
17If steering context is already available from conversation, skip redundant file reads.
18Otherwise:
19- Check `{{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/templates/steering-custom/` for available templates
20- Read `rules/steering-principles.md` from this skill's directory for steering principles
21 
22## Workflow
23 
241. **Ask user** for custom steering needs:
25   - Domain/topic (e.g., "API standards", "testing approach")
26   - Specific requirements or patterns to document
27 
282. **Check if template exists**:
29   - Load from `{{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/templates/steering-custom/{name}.md` if available
30   - Use as starting point, customize based on project
31 
323. **Analyze codebase** (JIT) for relevant patterns:
33 
34#### Parallel Research
35 
36The following research areas are independent and can be executed in parallel:
371. **Template & principles**: Load matching template and steering-principles.md
382. **Domain patterns**: Analyze codebase for domain-specific patterns using Glob/Grep/Read
