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.
