justfile-author
From the author
Use this skill when authoring or refactoring a justfile (and matching Makefile wrapper) for one of Nick's projects. Triggers when the user asks to "create a justfile", "add a justfile to this project", "set up just for…", "wire up tmux services", "scaffold the task runner", or when working in a repo that lacks a justfile but obviously needs one. Produces a justfile using zsh syntax with the standard svc-* tmux service family, the canonical build/lint/dev/test recipes, a thin Makefile passthrough wrapper that auto-installs just, and per-service tx-start.sh helpers. Do NOT use for editing existing third-party justfiles or non-Nick projects unless the user explicitly opts in.

- cli-justPaulRBerg/agent-skillsUse for just/justfile task automation: create justfiles, write recipes, configure settings, add modules/attributes, or set up command-runner workflows.Engineering★ 101
- task-runnerGoldziher/ai-rulezUse `task` (go-task) instead of raw build/test/lint commands in any repository whose root contains a Taskfile.yaml or Taskfile.yml, with the standard target names setup, build, test, lint, format, bench. Load on seeing a Taskfile.yaml/Taskfile.yml in the repository root, or before running a build, test, lint or format command in an unfamiliar repository.Productivity★ 163
- makefileOvid/paadUse when creating or updating a Makefile for a project, especially when standard targets (build, test, lint, format, etc.) are missing or when modifying targets that may already be wired into other tooling. Not for debugging why a build fails.Testing★ 143
- makefile-generationathola/claude-night-marketGenerates Makefiles with testing, linting, formatting, and automation targets. Use when starting a project or standardizing build automation.Testing★ 343
- Just Command Runneragentskillexchange/skillsJust is a command runner written in Rust that provides a convenient way to save and run project-specific commands. It uses a justfile syntax inspired by Make but focused on running commands rather than building targets, with support for parameters, dependencies, and multi-language recipes.Writing★ 58
- test-writersno-ai/sno-station-skillsWrite and improve test-owned code: tests, test scripts, fixtures, evals, and test-only helpers. Use whenever Codex is asked to create or change test code. Its only job is to produce the strongest practical tests in the repository's existing harness, run them, and fix defects in the test code.Testing★ 819
