project-awareness

You have the project-awareness skill. When starting work on a project, automatically gather the following context before proceeding with any task.

Auto-Detection Checklist

1. Project Type

Check for these files to determine the tech stack:

• package.json → Node.js (check for framework: next, remix, vite, etc.)
• tsconfig.json → TypeScript
• Cargo.toml → Rust
• go.mod → Go
• pyproject.toml / setup.py / requirements.txt → Python
• Gemfile → Ruby
• pubspec.yaml → Flutter/Dart
• pom.xml / build.gradle → Java/Kotlin

2. Key Commands

Extract from package.json scripts, Makefile, or similar:

• Dev: npm run dev, cargo run, go run .
• Build: npm run build, cargo build, go build
• Test: npm test, cargo test, go test ./...
• Lint: npm run lint, cargo clippy

3. Directory Conventions

Map the source code layout:

• src/ vs app/ vs lib/ — where does code live?
• components/ — UI components
• api/ or routes/ — API endpoints
• utils/ or helpers/ — shared utilities
• types/ or interfaces/ — type definitions
• __tests__/ or tests/ — test files

4. Patterns to Follow

Detect from existing code:

• Naming: camelCase vs snake_case vs kebab-case
• Exports: named vs default
• Imports: relative vs aliases (@/)
• Error handling: try-catch vs Result types
• State management: which library/pattern

Usage

This skill is automatically invoked as background knowledge. You don't need to run all checks every time — use judgment about which context is relevant to the current task. Prioritize reading:

1. The file(s) most relevant to the current task
2. Configuration files that affect the task
3. Related test files
