Does this support Python projects using uv?

Yes, it includes specific support for uv-based Python projects, automatically configuring targets for ruff and pytest.

Will it overwrite my existing custom rules?

No, it is designed to append missing targets and fix structural standards rather than deleting or replacing your unique custom build logic.

Can I check my Makefile without making changes?

Yes, using the --check-only flag allows you to run a compliance audit and view the status report without modifying any files.

How does the help target work?

It adds an auto-generated help target that parses awk comments in the Makefile to provide a clean, colored list of available commands to the user.

What languages are supported by this skill?

It features built-in templates and command detection for Python, Node.js, Rust, and Go, plus a generic template for other project types.

Deployment & DevOps

Configures and audits project Makefiles to ensure compliance with industry-standard build, test, and lint targets.

The Makefile Standardizer skill automates the creation and maintenance of project Makefiles across various programming languages including Python, Node.js, Rust, and Go. It ensures every project has a consistent interface by enforcing required targets like help, test, build, and lint, while also implementing best practices such as .PHONY declarations and colored help outputs. This skill is ideal for platform engineers and developers looking to standardize their local development workflows and CI/CD pipelines without manual boilerplate management.
