SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates VCV Rack module builds using a Makefile-based system, with comprehensive failure handling and logging.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validates module existence and Makefile presence
  • Determines appropriate build targets per stage and platform
  • Validates RACK_DIR environment and platform, then runs builds with thorough logging
  • Provides a failure protocol with investigative options via troubleshooter

Quick Start

/build [ModuleName] to start a Makefile-based build, with logs and failure handling

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate VCV Rack module builds with Make?▼

Automate VCV Rack module builds using Makefile-based workflows by running /build [ModuleName], which validates your module directory, detects your platform, selects appropriate build targets, and executes Make with comprehensive logging and failure handling.

What does a Makefile-based build workflow do for VCV Rack modules?▼

A Makefile-based build workflow orchestrates module compilation across stages, validates prerequisites like RACK_DIR and Makefile presence, determines platform-specific build targets (clean, dist, install), and logs the entire process with integrated failure troubleshooting.

Can I use build automation for different VCV Rack module stages?▼

Yes, build automation applies across module workflow stages 2–6, module-improve, and module-lifecycle, automatically detecting your platform and selecting the correct build targets and logging for each stage.

What validation does automated Makefile-based building perform?▼

Automated building validates module existence and directory structure, confirms Makefile presence, verifies RACK_DIR environment configuration, detects your platform, and provides structured failure handling with troubleshooting integration.

How does build automation handle failures?▼

Build automation implements a structured failure protocol that logs all build output, detects errors, and surfaces investigative options through integrated troubleshooting, enabling rapid diagnosis of platform or environment issues.
