SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates JUCE plugin builds using a centralized script, providing comprehensive failure handling and intelligent troubleshooting. It streamlines the build process, automatically diagnosing errors and guiding you through resolution, ensuring your plugins compile correctly and efficiently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized Build Orchestration: Invokes a robust 7-phase build script (build-and-install.sh) to compile, install, and verify VST3 and AU plugin formats.
  • Structured Failure Protocol: When a build fails, it presents a 4-option menu to investigate (via troubleshooter), show logs, display code, or wait for manual fixes.
  • Intelligent Error Diagnosis: Extracts specific error messages, file/line references, and error types from build logs to provide targeted troubleshooting.
  • Context-Aware Decision Menus: After a successful build, it presents relevant next steps based on the current workflow stage (e.g., continue to next stage, run tests, install).
  • Use Case: Your plugin build fails after a code change. This Skill automatically detects the failure, extracts the error, and offers to launch an AI troubleshooter to pinpoint the exact line of code and suggest a fix.

Quick Start

To build your 'TapeDelay' plugin and install it to system folders.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate JUCE plugin builds with error handling?โ–ผ

Build automation orchestrates plugin compilation and installation through a centralized script with comprehensive failure handling. It invokes a 7-phase build process for VST3 and AU formats, detects errors, extracts specific error messages, and presents a structured menu to investigate issues or retry.

What happens when my plugin build fails?โ–ผ

When a build fails, the Skill extracts error details including file references and line numbers, then presents a 4-option menu: launch AI troubleshooting to diagnose the exact issue, review full logs, view the problematic code, or wait for manual fixes before retrying.

Can I skip installation during the build process?โ–ผ

Yes, build automation supports context-aware build flags. Use --no-install during the Foundation stage to compile without installing; other workflow stages perform full build and install to system plugin folders automatically.

How does build automation fit into my plugin workflow?โ–ผ

Build automation integrates across plugin development stages invoked by plugin-workflow, plugin-improve, and plugin-lifecycle skills. After successful builds, it presents stage-specific next steps like continuing to the next phase, running tests, or confirming installation.

What plugin formats does build automation support?โ–ผ

Build automation compiles and installs VST3 and AU plugin formats through the centralized build script, with real-time progress logging throughout the compilation process and format-specific success menus after completion.
