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.
