stack-detector skill

Stack Detector

Why This is Copilot-Exclusive

This skill is specific to the everything-copilot-cli collection: the recommendation table maps detected technologies to skill and rule file paths that only exist in this repository. Other AI agents can also inspect file systems, but this skill's value is the curated mapping to this specific collection's skills and rules — not the file-scanning mechanics itself.

When to Use

• At the start of a session on an unfamiliar codebase, before or alongside context-prime
• When you want focused recommendations for which skills and rules apply to this project (context-prime loads broad context; stack-detector targets specific recommendations)
• When onboarding a new contributor and recommending which skills to study
• When auditing a project to suggest missing tooling or practices

Workflow

No shell access? In tools that deny shell commands by default (for example headless agy -p or Cursor --mode=ask), skip the PowerShell snippets below. List the project root with your file-listing tool and read package.json, lockfiles, and config files directly; the detection rules and the recommendation table apply unchanged.

1. Detect Runtime & Package Manager

# Check for Node.js project
if (Test-Path "package.json") {
    $pkg = Get-Content "package.json" | ConvertFrom-Json
    Write-Host "Node.js project detected"
    Write-Host "Name: $($pkg.name)"
}

# Detect package manager from lockfile
$lockfiles = @{
    "pnpm-lock.yaml"    = "pnpm"
    "yarn.lock"         = "yarn"
    "package-lock.json" = "npm"
    "bun.lockb"         = "bun"
}
foreach ($file in $lockfiles.Keys) {
    if (Test-Path $file) { Write-Host "Package manager: $($lockfiles[$file])"; break }
}

# Python
if ((Test-Path "pyproject.toml") -or (Test-Path "requirements.txt")) {
    Write-Host "Python project detected"
}

# Go
if (Test-Path "go.mod") { Write-Host "Go project detected" }

# Java / Kotlin
if ((Test-Path "build.gradle") -or (Test-Path "pom.xml")) {
    Write-Host "JVM project detected"
}

2. Detect Frameworks & Libraries

if (Test-Path "package.json") {
    $pkg = Get-Content "package.json" | ConvertFrom-Json
    $deps = @()
    if ($pkg.dependencies)    { $deps += $pkg.dependencies.PSObject.Properties.Name }
    if ($pkg.devDependencies) { $deps += $pkg.devDependencies.PSObject.Properties.Name }

    $frontendMap = @{
        "next"     = "Next.js"
        "react"    = "React"
        "vue"      = "Vue"
        "nuxt"     = "Nuxt"
        "@angular" = "Angular"
        "svelte"   = "Svelte"
        "astro"    = "Astro"
    }
    foreach ($key in $frontendMap.Keys) {
        if ($deps -match $key) { Write-Host "Framework: $($frontendMap[$key])" }
    }

    $backendMap = @{
        "express"  = "Express"
        "@nestjs"  = "NestJS"
        "hono"     = "Hono"
        "fastify"  = "Fastify"
    }
    foreach ($key in $backendMap.Keys) {
        if ($deps -match $key) { Write-Host "Backend: $($backendMap[$key])" }
    }

    $dbMap = @{
        "prisma"    = "Prisma"
        "drizzle"   = "Drizzle ORM"
        "@supabase" = "Supabase"
        "typeorm"   = "TypeORM"
    }
    foreach ($key in $dbMap.Keys) {
        if ($deps -match $key) { Write-Host "Database/ORM: $($dbMap[$key])" }
    }

    $testingMap = @{
        "vitest"     = "Vitest"
        "playwright" = "Playwright"
        "jest"       = "Jest"
        "cypress"    = "Cypress"
    }
    foreach ($key in $testingMap.Keys) {
        if ($deps -match $key) { Write-Host "Testing: $($testingMap[$key])" }
    }

    $cloudMap = @{
        "wrangler"  = "Cloudflare Workers"
        "vercel"    = "Vercel"
        "@aws-sdk"  = "AWS SDK"
    }
    foreach ($key in $cloudMap.Keys) {
        if ($deps -match $key) { Write-Host "Cloud: $($cloudMap[$key])" }
    }
}

3. Detect Config Files

$configMap = @{
    "next.config.*"       = "Next.js"
    "vite.config.*"       = "Vite"
    "tailwind.config.*"   = "Tailwind CSS"
    "vitest.config.*"     = "Vitest"
    "playwright.config.*" = "Playwright"
    "wrangler.toml"       = "Cloudflare Workers"
    "vercel.json"         = "Vercel"
    "astro.config.*"      = "Astro"
    "drizzle.config.*"    = "Drizzle ORM"
    "tsconfig.json"       = "TypeScript"
}

foreach ($pattern in $configMap.Keys) {
    if (Get-ChildItem -Filter $pattern -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) {
        Write-Host "Config detected: $($configMap[$pattern])"
    }
}

5. Output Summary

Write-Host ""
Write-Host "=== Stack Detection Complete ==="
Write-Host "Recommended skills for this project:"
Write-Host "  /context-prime      -- load live project context"
Write-Host "  /commit-workflow    -- if Git workflow needed"

Notes

• This skill reads files only — it makes no changes to the project
• Combine with context-prime for a complete session initialization
• The recommendation table above is updated as new framework-specific rules and combo skills are added in later phases of this repository's roadmap
