SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically detects a project's build system and executes the appropriate build and test commands to streamline local development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects common build systems based on presence of key files (package.json for npm, yarn.lock for yarn, pnpm-lock.yaml for pnpm, pyproject.toml for Poetry, requirements.txt for pip, Cargo.toml for Rust, go.mod for Go, build.gradle for Gradle, pom.xml for Maven, Makefile for Make) and runs the corresponding build and test commands.
  • Supports custom command overrides via .claude/config.json to tailor build and test steps per repository.
  • Applicable to multi-language monorepos and CI-like workflows performed locally to ensure consistent developer experiences.

Quick Start

Run the skill from the project root to automatically detect and execute the correct build or test commands.

Frequently Asked Questions about build-system

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically detect and run a build system for a multi-language repository?▼

Build automation auto-detection scans standard manifest files like package.json or pyproject.toml at the project root to identify and execute the matching build and test commands for multi-language repositories.

Does build automation work with npm, Poetry, and Go workflows?▼

Yes, build automation supports npm, Poetry, and Go workflows by detecting lockfiles and manifests like go.mod, then running the corresponding build and test commands customized for each tooling environment.

How do I override default build commands locally?▼

You can override default build commands by defining custom build and test instructions in the .claude/config.json file, tailoring the build automation pipeline to your repository's specific requirements.

What files are required for build system detection to work?▼

Build system detection requires local project root access to read standard manifest files, such as Cargo.toml, pom.xml, or Makefile, ensuring the correct build system is identified before execution.

Can I use this for CI-like local development workflows?▼

Yes, it applies to CI-like workflows performed locally, varying pipelines by language and tooling to ensure a consistent developer experience across monorepos without manual configuration.

Why might automatic build detection fail to run the correct commands?▼

Build detection fails if standard manifest files are missing from the project root or if the lockfile presence does not match expected tooling, preventing the automation from identifying the correct build system.
