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:

json

{
  "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:

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