Claude Skill for Just would be awesome

Open PaulRBerg opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

I've been using Just with Claude Code and think a Claude Skill for Just would be really useful.

The idea

Similar to the Playwright Skill, a Just skill would let Claude automatically discover and run recipes without me having to manually explain what's in my justfile every time.

What it could do

  • Understand modern Just syntax and how to find Just docs
  • Parse justfiles to find available recipes
  • Run recipes with the right arguments
  • Suggest relevant recipes based on what I'm trying to do

Why this would be great

Claude often makes mistakes about Just features, e.g. it doesn't know about [script] or the predefined variables like CYAN.

A Claude Skill would make the workflow way smoother - less context switching, better discoverability of project tasks.

I suppose there is significant overlap between Just users and Claude Code users.

I've rolled my own Agent Skill for Just - sharing here in case anyone wants to use it.

[!NOTE]

The skill is opinionated. You might want to customize the skill with your own preferences.
