Coding Expert — Language Router
Detects the project language and loads the correct specialist skill. Only one language skill enters context.
Detect Language
Check the project root for these markers:
ls composer.json pyproject.toml setup.py setup.cfg tsconfig.json 2>/dev/null
| Marker found | Language | Read file |
|---|
composer.json | PHP | php.md in this skill's directory |
pyproject.toml or setup.py or setup.cfg | Python | python.md in this skill's directory |
tsconfig.json | TypeScript | typescript.md in this skill's directory |
Mixed projects
If multiple markers exist, count source files to pick the dominant language:
echo "PHP: $(find . -name '*.php' -not -path '*/vendor/*' | wc -l)"
echo "Python: $(find . -name '*.py' -not -path '*/.venv/*' -not -path '*/__pycache__/*' | wc -l)"
echo "TypeScript: $(find . -name '*.ts' -o -name '*.tsx' | grep -v node_modules | wc -l)"
If the user's query mentions a specific language or file, use that language regardless of dominance.
Route
After detection, read the matching .md file from this skill's directory. Do NOT continue without it — the language-specific file contains the grep patterns and navigation steps you need.
