Do I need a parent repository to use this skill?

No, a parent 'umbrella' repository is optional. You can manage independent repositories with individual configurations or use a central umbrella config for better organization.

How does the skill detect multiple repositories?

The skill monitors user prompts for keywords such as '3 repos', 'frontend/backend', 'microservices', or specific GitHub URLs to identify a multi-repo intent.

Can I save changes to all repositories at once?

Yes, using the /sw:save command allows you to commit and push changes across all detected repositories simultaneously with a single message.

What is a project-scoped user story?

It is a requirement format that uses repository-specific prefixes (e.g., US-FE-001 for frontend) to ensure tasks are correctly linked to their respective codebases.

Does it integrate with external project management tools?

Yes, it supports mapping Project IDs to JIRA project keys or Azure DevOps area paths to keep your repo architecture in sync with your tracking tools.

Collaboration Tools

Identifies and configures multi-repository architectures to streamline development across frontend, backend, and shared codebases.

The umbrella-repo-detector skill optimizes the development of complex, distributed systems by automatically detecting multi-repo patterns from natural language prompts. It intelligently guides developers through the setup of frontend, backend, mobile, and shared repositories, ensuring that user stories are correctly scoped and routed to the appropriate project. By providing unified commands like /sw:save and cross-project tagging, it simplifies the management of dependencies and state synchronization across multiple independent repositories within a single project context.

Key Features

01Cross-project tagging for features that span across multiple service boundaries

02Automated setup flows for cloning, creating, or initializing multiple repos

03Unified multi-repo state saving and pushing with the /sw:save command

04Automatic detection of FE/BE/Shared/Mobile repository splits from user prompts

05Project-scoped user story generation with unique repository prefixes (e.g., US-FE-*)

0613 GitHub stars

Use Cases

01Setting up a new microservices architecture with a shared type library and independent services

02Synchronizing feature development and documentation across mobile, infrastructure, and web codebases

03Managing a full-stack application with separate GitHub repositories for the web UI and API server
