| description | Use whenever an agent must run a toolchain command (build, test, mutation) and needs the concrete invocation. Resolves build/test/mutation commands from the detected stack so no agent hardcodes `dotnet test`, `dotnet build`, or any toolchain command. Loaded by acceptance-designer and software-engineer. |
Resolving Stack Commands (stack-agnostic)
The single place that maps a repository's stack to its concrete toolchain
commands (build, test, mutation). No agent and no workflow step may hardcode a
command (dotnet test, dotnet build, mvn test, pytest, ...). They resolve
it here instead.
Why this exists
The pipeline must run with .NET today and other stacks tomorrow (Java planned,
not yet supported). If each agent embeds dotnet test, swapping or adding a
stack means editing every agent. Centralizing the mapping keeps agents
tech-agnostic: they say "build the solution" / "run the test suite" / "run
mutation", this skill says how.
Detection → commands
Detect the stack from markers at the repo root, then use its commands:
| Stack | Detection markers | Build | Test | Mutation | Status |
|---|
| .NET | *.sln, *.slnx, **/*.csproj, Directory.Packages.props | dotnet build | dotnet test | dotnet stryker | supported |
| Java | pom.xml, build.gradle, build.gradle.kts | (not yet provided) | (not yet provided) | (not yet provided) | NOT SUPPORTED |
If multiple stacks coexist, run each supported stack's commands and aggregate results.
Unsupported stack → stop, never guess
If the detected stack has no supported command, STOP and emit a structured
blocker. Never invent a command:
status: blocked
type: unsupported_stack
message: No command mapping for the detected stack
context:
stack: java
markers:
- pom.xml
needed: test
Contract for callers
- Resolve the command (build / test / mutation) from the table above; do not embed it in workflow steps.
- Run it, then assert on its output (build succeeds, RED on a business assertion, GREEN gate, mutation score, etc.).
- Adding a stack = add a row here (or its
quality-gates-<tech> adapter), with zero edits to agents.
