# Build Project $ARGUMENTS Build the current project. ## Project context - Project config: !`cat package.json 2>/dev/null || cat pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown"` ## Auto-Detection Run the bundled script to detect build system: ```bash python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/detect-build.py [dev|prod|docker] ``` ## Usage ``` /build [target] ``` ## What This Command Does 1. **Detects** project type 2. **Runs** appropriate build command 3. **Reports** build status ## Build Commands by Project Type | Project Type | Build Command | |--------------|---------------| | Node.js | `npm run build` or `pnpm build` | | Python | `poetry build` or `pip install -e .` | | Flutter | `flutter build` | | Go | `go build ./...` | | Rust | `cargo build --release` | | Docker | `docker compose build` | ## Output Format ```markdown ## Build Report ### Status: Success / Failed ### Build Details - **Project**: [name] - **Type**: [type] - **Command**: [command used] - **Duration**: [time] ### Artifacts - [artifact 1] - [artifact 2] ### Warnings - [warning if any] ### Errors - [error if any] ``` ## Targets | Target | Description | |--------|-------------| | `dev` | Development build | | `prod` | Production build | | `docker` | Docker image build | | `all` | Build all targets | ## MANDATORY: Documentation Update After build configuration changes, update documentation: ### When to Update - Build config changes -> Update build docs - New dependencies -> Update requirements docs - Docker changes -> Update Docker docs - CI changes -> Update CI/CD docs ### Post-Build Changes Checklist - [ ] Build successful - [ ] **README build instructions updated** (if changed) - [ ] **CI/CD config documented** ## Rules - **MUST** detect the build system automatically (`detect-build.py`) before invoking any command - **NEVER** run a `clean` build when incremental works — clean only on explicit user request - **CRITICAL**: surface the first build error literally, including the stack trace and file:line. Paraphrasing loses the diagnostic. - **MANDATORY**: on success, report the artifact paths (compiled binaries, bundled output, built images) — callers downstream need them ## Gotchas - `npm run build` does not refresh `node_modules`. If `package-lock.json` is out of sync, the build runs against stale dependencies and "succeeds" with wrong versions. In CI always precede with `npm ci`. - `cargo build --release` takes 5-10× longer than debug. Never use `--release` in a dev loop; reserve it for CI artifacts and benchmarks. - `docker compose build` keys layer cache per service. A change to a shared context file (e.g., root `COPY . .`) invalidates every service's cache. Structure Dockerfiles to copy dependency manifests first, source last. - `flutter build apk` without `--split-per-abi` produces a fat APK ~3× larger than needed. Production builds should always split unless explicitly bundling. - `go build ./...` succeeds with a warning when a package has no Go files (e.g., pure-doc subdir). Downstream tools that expect every listed package to compile a binary fail silently — check `go build -v` for the list of built packages. ## When NOT to Use - For running tests — use `/test` - For deployment or artifact push — use `/deploy` - For scaffolding a new build system — use `/app-builder` or `/ci` - For CI pipeline generation — use `/ci` - When the project has no build step (interpreted code, pure docs) — this skill has nothing to do
