SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of identifying a project's build system and executing the appropriate build or test commands, saving developers from manually determining and running these commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automatic Detection: Supports a wide range of build systems including npm, yarn, pnpm, Python (pip/poetry), Gradle, Maven, Cargo, Go, and Make.
Command Execution: Runs standard build and test commands tailored to the detected system.
Customization: Allows overriding default commands via a .claude/config.json file for project-specific needs.
Use Case: When you open a new project, simply invoke /build to compile your code or /test to run its test suite without needing to know the exact commands.

Quick Start

Run the build command for the current project.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automatically detect and run build commands for different project types?▼

To automatically detect and run build commands, this Skill scans your project to identify the build system and executes the appropriate build or test commands. It supports npm, yarn, pnpm, Python pip and poetry, Gradle, Maven, Cargo, Go, and Make.

Can I customize the default build and test commands for a specific project?▼

Yes, you can customize build and test commands by creating a `.claude/config.json` file. This project-specific configuration file allows you to override the default commands that the auto-detection mechanism would normally execute.

Does the build auto-detection work with Python poetry and Gradle projects?▼

Yes, build auto-detection works with Python poetry and Gradle projects. It identifies the build system and runs standard build or test commands tailored to the detected environment, covering both Python and Java ecosystems.

How do I run tests in a new repository without knowing the exact test commands?▼

You can run tests in a new repository by invoking the `/test` command. The Skill identifies the project's build system, such as Cargo or Maven, and automatically executes the appropriate test suite without requiring manual command input.

What is the best way to compile code across multiple language ecosystems?▼

The best way to compile code across multiple ecosystems is using an automated build system detector. It identifies the environment—whether Go, Make, or pnpm—and executes the corresponding build command, eliminating the need to manually determine the correct syntax.
