SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quickly reveal which frameworks, build tools, package managers, language targets, and key libraries a project uses so engineers can onboard faster, assess upgrades, and diagnose build issues without manually inspecting many config files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic file scanning: Reads package.json, lockfiles, build configs, TypeScript/Babel, linting and CI/deployment files in a prioritized order to produce consistent results.
  • Tech inference & versions: Extracts framework, build tool, package manager, language, state management, UI libraries, and testing frameworks with version information when available.
  • Use Case: A developer onboarding to a new repository runs the skill to generate a concise tech stack report that guides migration decisions and highlights missing or conflicting tooling.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to "Detect the tech stack for the project at path ./my-repo and produce a structured report with versions and missing config warnings."

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect the tech stack and key dependencies of a JavaScript or TypeScript project?▼

To detect a tech stack, you can parse configuration files like package.json, lockfiles, and build configs to extract frameworks, package managers, language targets, and key libraries with their versions.

What is the best way to analyze package.json and build configs for onboarding to a new repository?▼

Analyzing package.json and build configs involves inspecting TypeScript/Babel settings, linting rules, and CI/deployment files to generate a concise tech stack report that highlights missing or conflicting tooling for faster onboarding.

Can I detect which build tools and frameworks are used in a monorepo?▼

Yes, you can detect build tools and frameworks in a monorepo by inspecting build configuration files like vite, webpack, next, craco, and rollup alongside package.json to map the complete project technology landscape.

How does tech stack detection help with upgrade and migration evaluation?▼

Tech stack detection helps with migration evaluation by extracting current versions of frameworks and tooling from configuration files, allowing you to assess compatibility and identify missing or conflicting dependencies before upgrading.

Does this tech stack detection work with projects using Vite or Next.js?▼

Yes, tech stack detection works with projects using Vite or Next.js by inspecting their specific build configuration files alongside standard package.json and lockfiles to identify the framework and build tooling versions.
