github-ecosystem

description

Generate comprehensive GitHub ecosystem configuration including CI/CD workflows, issue templates, PR templates, CODEOWNERS, dependabot, and Copilot instructions. Language-agnostic with Python, Go, and TypeScript support. Auto-detects project language from pyproject.toml, go.mod, or package.json. Use when setting up GitHub repos, adding CI/CD pipelines, creating issue/PR templates, configuring dependabot, adding CODEOWNERS, setting up Copilot instructions, or enhancing existing projects with GitHub tooling. Works on new or existing repositories with smart merging.

GitHub Ecosystem Configuration Generator

Generates production-ready GitHub configuration for any project.

Quick Start

Run in a project directory to auto-detect language and generate configuration:

python scripts/generate_github_config.py --project-path .

Supported Languages

Language	Detection Files	CI Tools
Python	pyproject.toml, setup.py	ruff, mypy, bandit, pytest
Go	go.mod	golangci-lint, go test
TypeScript	package.json + tsconfig.json	eslint, prettier, tsc, vitest/jest

Components

GitHub Actions Workflows

ci.yml - Continuous Integration

• Multi-version test matrix
• Code quality checks (lint, format, typecheck)
• Security scanning
• Coverage reporting
• Build verification

release.yml (optional) - Release Automation

• Version bumping
• GitHub Release creation
• Package publishing
• Changelog generation

docker.yml (optional) - Container Builds

• Multi-platform builds (amd64, arm64)
• GHCR publishing
• Caching optimization

Issue Templates

• bug_report.md - Structured bug reporting
• feature_request.md - Feature proposals with API examples
• config.yml - Template chooser configuration

Other Templates

• PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md - PR checklist with change types
• CODEOWNERS - Code ownership definitions
• dependabot.yml - Automated dependency updates
• copilot-instructions.md - GitHub Copilot context

Configuration Options

Option	Default	Description
--project-path	.	Project directory
--language	(auto)	Force language: python, go, typescript
--components	all	Comma-separated: workflows,templates,dependabot,codeowners,copilot
--include-release	false	Include release workflow
--include-docker	false	Include docker workflow
--codeowners	(optional)	CODEOWNERS entries (e.g., "* @team")
--overwrite	false	Overwrite existing files

Enhancement Mode

When .github/ already exists, the skill enters enhancement mode:

• Detects existing configuration
• Shows what will be added/modified
• Merges without overwriting (unless --overwrite)
• Preserves custom modifications

• references/go-workflow.md - Go CI/CD patterns
• references/typescript-workflow.md - TypeScript CI/CD patterns

Post-Generation

After generation:

1. Review generated workflows for your needs
2. Add any required secrets (e.g., PYPI_API_TOKEN for publishing)
3. Customize version matrices if needed
4. Update CODEOWNERS with actual team handles
