SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up build automation from scratch is repetitive and error-prone, and existing build files often miss standard targets like help, lint, or Docker workflows. This Skill analyzes your project and either generates a complete build file or surgically improves an existing one. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Dual Mode Operation: Generates a new Makefile, Taskfile.yml, justfile, or magefile.go from best-practice templates, or enhances an existing file by adding missing targets, preambles, and documentation without overwriting your work. - Deep Project Detection: Scans for language, package manager, framework, Docker setup (including multi-stage builds and compose services), CI system, migrations, test runners, and linters to tailor every target. - Docker-Aware Targets: Produces layered Docker commands for container lifecycle, dev/prod separation, and in-container test/lint execution when Docker is detected. - Use Case: You have a NestJS TypeScript project with a Dockerfile and Prisma migrations. Run the skill to get a Makefile with dev, test, lint, typecheck, db-migrate, and docker-dev/docker-prod targets, plus a Quick Commands section added to your README. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to generate a Makefile for this project, or say "enhance my existing Taskfile" to improve a build file you already have.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a Makefile for my project automatically?

Invoke the skill with an argument like "makefile" and it scans your repository for language, package manager, framework, and Docker setup, then writes a Makefile with standard targets such as build, test, lint, dev, and a self-documenting help target.

Makefile vs Taskfile vs Justfile vs Magefile, which should I choose?

Makefile is universal and needs no installation. Taskfile uses YAML and is cross-platform. Justfile is ergonomic with confirmation prompts for dangerous commands. Magefile is Go-native and type-safe but only suits Go projects.

Can it improve an existing Makefile without overwriting it?

Yes. In enhance mode it reads the existing file, performs a gap analysis against best practices, and surgically adds missing preambles, targets, and descriptions while preserving your existing targets, ordering, and style.

Does it support Docker and docker-compose workflows?

Yes. When a Dockerfile or compose file is detected, it generates layered Docker targets covering image build, push, dev and production separation via compose profiles or multi-stage targets, and in-container test and lint execution.

Can I use Mage for a PHP project?

No. Mage is Go-specific and not applicable to PHP. The skill explains this and suggests Makefile as the closest alternative, asking for confirmation before proceeding.

What project types are detected for build file generation?

It detects Go, Node.js, Python, PHP, Rust, Ruby, Java, and .NET via manifest files, plus package managers, frameworks like NestJS, FastAPI, Laravel and Gin, migration tools like Prisma and Alembic, and CI systems.
