Does this skill work with monorepos?

Absolutely. It detects Turborepo, Nx, Lerna, and standard pnpm/npm/yarn workspaces, providing specific commands for targeting individual workspaces.

How does caching work for this skill?

Detected project details are stored in a local state file under the 'project' key, allowing the skill to reuse configuration data without re-running detection logic every time.

Can it distinguish between different Node.js package managers?

Yes, it accurately identifies Bun, pnpm, Yarn, and npm by analyzing the specific lock files (e.g., bun.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml) present in the repository.

What happens if detection fails?

If the automated detection cannot find a match, the skill falls back to standardized reference patterns to ensure the workflow can continue.

What languages does the project-detection skill support?

The skill currently supports Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, and Java by detecting their specific configuration files like package.json, pyproject.toml, and go.mod.

Productivity & Workflow

Automatically identifies project frameworks, package managers, and monorepo structures to provide context-aware build and test commands.

About

The Smart Project Detection skill automates the technical discovery of any codebase by analyzing lock files and configuration metadata. It eliminates the manual effort of determining whether a project uses Bun, pnpm, Poetry, or Turborepo, providing a standardized set of commands for building, testing, and linting. By caching these results in a persistent state, it ensures that Claude can interact with the development environment accurately and efficiently, regardless of the underlying language or architecture.

Key Features

Persistent state caching for optimized subsequent execution
Multi-language detection for Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, and Java
Automatic package manager identification including Bun, pnpm, and Poetry
Standardized command mapping for build, test, lint, and dev workflows
9 GitHub stars
Monorepo awareness for Turborepo, Nx, Lerna, and native workspaces

Use Cases

Onboarding developers to complex polyglot or monorepo environments without manual documentation
Standardizing CI/CD pipelines by auto-detecting correct build and test scripts
Providing Claude with immediate environment context during AI-assisted coding sessions
