Audits Makefiles for portability, duplication, and idiomatic GNU Make usage to streamline build systems.
The makefile-review skill provides a comprehensive auditing framework for GNU Make-based build systems. It helps developers identify redundant commands, analyze complex dependency graphs, and ensure cross-platform portability. By automating the detection of non-idiomatic patterns and missing essential targets like help or lint, this skill ensures that project automation remains maintainable, efficient, and robust across different development environments and CI/CD pipelines.
