generate-editorconfig-by-techstack

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates creating or completing a project's .editorconfig by detecting the repository's languages and common tools, reducing manual configuration and inconsistent editor settings across contributors.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automatic detection: Scans the project root for manifests and file patterns (package.json, tsconfig.json, *.csproj, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Dockerfile, *.md, etc.) to infer relevant editorconfig sections.
• Non-destructive merge: Reads an existing .editorconfig and appends missing sections without overwriting user customizations.
• Opinionated defaults: Applies a global base block plus language-specific blocks (C#, Python, Go, Markdown, YAML/JSON/TOML, PowerShell, CSV, Shell, Dockerfile) to standardize formatting.
• Use Case: Standardize editor settings for a mixed-language repository before onboarding new contributors or when consolidating dotfiles.

Quick Start

Run the skill to scan the repository root and generate or merge a .editorconfig tailored to the detected tech stack, then review the reported added and skipped sections.
