How does it handle existing Makefiles?

The skill can detect project types from existing Makefiles and suggest a migration path to Justfile, maintaining equivalent functionality.

What languages does this skill support?

It includes specialized templates and detection logic for Python (uv-based), Node.js (bun-based), Rust (cargo), and Go.

Why use Just instead of a standard shell script?

Just provides a structured, readable way to organize project commands with built-in help, argument parsing, and cross-platform consistency.

Can I use this skill in CI/CD pipelines?

Yes, by using the --check-only flag, the skill will report compliance status and return an error if standards aren't met without modifying files.

Does it support custom environment variables?

Yes, it automatically configures 'set dotenv-load' if it detects a .env file in your project root.
