Project Context Detection

Automatically analyzes the current project to detect technologies, frameworks, and development patterns.

When to Use

This skill is invoked when:

• Running /auto-skills command

Detection Methods

1. File System Analysis

Check for configuration files and lock files:

Technology	Indicators
Node.js	package.json, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml
Go	go.mod, go.sum, *.go files
Python	requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, Pipfile, poetry.lock
Ruby	Gemfile, Gemfile.lock
Rust	Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock
Java	pom.xml, build.gradle
TypeScript	tsconfig.json

2. Framework Detection

Framework	Indicators
Next.js	next.config.js, app/ directory with page.tsx
React	package.json contains react, JSX files
Vue	package.json contains vue, .vue files
GraphQL	.graphql files, schema.graphql, Apollo/GraphQL in deps
Express	express in dependencies
FastAPI	fastapi in dependencies
Django	django in dependencies, manage.py
Rails	rails in dependencies, config/routes.rb

3. Testing Frameworks

Framework	Indicators
Jest	jest.config.js, *.test.js, *.spec.js
Playwright	playwright.config.js, *.spec.ts
Pytest	pytest.ini, conftest.py, test_*.py
Go testing	*_test.go files

4. Code Analysis

Analyze file extensions and imports:

• Count file types (.go, .tsx, .py, etc.)
• Analyze import statements for frameworks
• Check for API routes, database schemas

Output Format

Return a structured context object:

{
  "languages": ["go", "javascript"],
  "frameworks": ["nextjs", "graphql"],
  "testing": ["playwright", "go-testing"],
  "packageManager": "pnpm",
  "hasApi": true,
  "hasDatabase": true,
  "projectType": "fullstack"
}

Example Workflow

When detecting context for a project:

1. Scan root directory for config files
2. Analyze package.json, go.mod, or equivalent
3. Count file types in src/ or main directories
4. Check for test files and frameworks
5. Return structured context for auto-installation decisions
