Can I override the auto-detection logic?

Yes, you can provide an explicit configuration by creating a .release-config.json or .releaserc.json file in your project root.

Which project types are supported?

The skill supports Node.js, Python, Rust, Go, Java (Maven/Gradle), generic projects with version files, and specialized Claude Code plugins.

Does it support monorepos?

Yes, it scans for common patterns in 'packages', 'apps', and 'libs' directories to identify and configure individual packages within a monorepo.

How does it handle versioning in Go projects?

Since Go typically uses Git tags for versioning, the skill defaults to tag-based versioning for Go modules rather than looking for a version file.

Deployment & DevOps

Automatically identifies project environments and configurations to streamline software release and versioning workflows.

The Detect Project Type skill for Claude Code serves as an intelligent diagnostic tool that scans your project root to determine its language, framework, and release requirements. It eliminates manual setup by automatically locating version files, changelogs, and documentation across diverse ecosystems like Node.js, Python, Rust, and Go. By generating a standardized configuration object, it provides the necessary metadata for seamless automated releases, ensuring consistent tagging and version management regardless of the project's complexity or structure.
