SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill identifies the tooling and configuration inside a repository to help teams choose the correct development workflows and CI/CD integrations, reducing misconfigurations and tooling bloat.

Core Features & Use Cases

Comprehensive detection of build systems, package managers, and CI/CD platforms across multiple ecosystems.
Serves as a foundational component for other skills (e.g., Project Configuration, Monorepo Extractor) to align tooling with project goals.
Useful in monorepos to map tooling across packages and inform consistent development workflows.

Quick Start

Run the detector against your project to surface tooling:

./scripts/detect-all-systems.sh /path/to/project
./scripts/detect-build-systems.sh /path/to/project
./scripts/analyze-workspace-configs.sh /path/to/monorepo your-project

FAQPage Schema

How do I detect project tooling and build systems in a repository?▼

Project tooling detection works by scanning a repository path to identify build systems, package managers, and CI/CD configurations. The detector scripts output structured results that surface the exact tooling setup used across the project.

What is the best way to map tooling configurations across a monorepo?▼

Mapping tooling across a monorepo requires analyzing workspace configurations to identify varying build systems and package managers within sub-packages. The detection scripts scan the monorepo path to surface these distributed tooling setups.

Can I use the detected tooling results to set up CI/CD workflows?▼

Yes, structured project detection results can be consumed by other skills to tailor and align CI/CD integrations. The tooling output identifies build systems and package managers to inform consistent development workflows.

Does this project detection work with standalone projects and monorepos?▼

Project detection works with both standalone projects and monorepos. It applies comprehensive scanning to identify package managers and CI/CD platforms across multiple ecosystems, ensuring accurate tooling mapping regardless of repository structure.

Why do I need to detect build systems before configuring development workflows?▼

Detecting build systems before configuring development workflows reduces misconfigurations and tooling bloat. Identifying exact project tooling and configurations helps teams choose correct development workflows and avoid incompatible CI/CD setups.
