Makefile Generation Skill

Generate a Makefile with standard development targets for Python, Rust, or TypeScript projects.

When To Use

Need a Makefile for a project without one
Want to update Makefile with new targets
Standardizing build automation across projects
Setting up development workflow commands
Creating language-specific build targets

When NOT To Use

Makefile already exists and is current
Project uses alternative build system exclusively (e.g., npm scripts only)
Complex custom build process that doesn't fit standard patterns
Use
```
/attune:upgrade-project
```
instead for updating existing Makefiles

Standard Targets

Python Makefile

Common targets:

```
help
```
- Show available targets
```
install
```
- Install dependencies with uv
```
lint
```
- Run ruff linting
```
format
```
- Format code with ruff
```
typecheck
```
- Run mypy type checking
```
test
```
- Run pytest
```
test-coverage
```
- Run tests with coverage report
```
check-all
```
- Run all quality checks
```
clean
```
- Remove generated files and caches
```
build
```
- Build distribution packages
```
publish
```
- Publish to PyPI

Rust Makefile

Common targets:

```
help
```
- Show available targets
```
fmt
```
- Format with rustfmt
```
lint
```
- Run clippy
```
check
```
- Cargo check
```
test
```
- Run tests
```
build
```
- Build release binary
```
clean
```
- Clean build artifacts

TypeScript Makefile

Common targets:

```
help
```
- Show available targets
```
install
```
- Install npm dependencies
```
lint
```
- Run ESLint
```
format
```
- Format with Prettier
```
typecheck
```
- Run tsc type checking
```
test
```
- Run Jest tests
```
build
```
- Build for production
```
dev
```
- Start development server

Workflow

1. Detect Language

bash

# Check for language indicators
if [ -f "pyproject.toml" ]; then
    LANGUAGE="python"
elif [ -f "Cargo.toml" ]; then
    LANGUAGE="rust"
elif [ -f "package.json" ]; then
    LANGUAGE="typescript"
fi

Verification: Run the command with

--help

flag to verify availability.

2. Load Template

python

from pathlib import Path

template_path = Path("plugins/attune/templates") / language / "Makefile.template"

Verification: Run the command with

--help

flag to verify availability.

3. Collect Project Info

python

metadata = {
    "PROJECT_NAME": "my-project",
    "PROJECT_MODULE": "my_project",
    "PYTHON_VERSION": "3.10",
}

Verification: Run the command with

--help

flag to verify availability.

4. Render Template

python

from template_engine import TemplateEngine

engine = TemplateEngine(metadata)
engine.render_file(template_path, Path("Makefile"))

Verification: Run the command with

--help

flag to verify availability.

5. Verify

bash

make help

Verification: Run

make --dry-run

to verify build configuration.

Customization

Users can add custom targets after the generated ones:

makefile

# ============================================================================
# CUSTOM TARGETS
# ============================================================================

deploy: build ## Deploy to production
	./scripts/deploy.sh

Verification: Run the command with

--help

flag to verify availability.
