justfile-docs

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly understand how justfile (just) works when you need correct syntax, recipe behavior, language constructs, modules, variables, shell configuration, or CLI options—without guesswork or scattered documentation reading.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Justfile language reference: Covers settings, strings, expressions and substitutions, functions/constants, attributes (including conditionals and backticks), and error handling.
• Recipe authoring guidance: Explains recipe parameters, dependencies and ordering, defaults/variadics, shebang and script recipes, and execution behavior like working directory and timestamps.
• Practical workflow docs: Includes organization concepts like modules/imports, editor support, installation, and common usage patterns for listing and choosing recipes.
• Use Case: When your justfile feature fails or behaves unexpectedly (for example, parameter swallowing, dependency ordering, or working-directory surprises), use this Skill to pinpoint the exact language rule or option that applies.

Quick Start

Use the justfile-docs skill to answer: "How do I write a just recipe with parameters and dependencies so that arguments are passed correctly to dependent recipes, and what should I use if I need a single shell session across multiple lines?"
