Use Case
Makefile & Build is a powerful AI agent skill that extends your assistant with new capabilities. Write Makefiles for any project type. Use when setting up build automation, defining multi-target builds, managing dependencies between tasks, creating project task runners, or using Make for non-C projects (Go, Python, Docker, Node.js). Also covers Just and Task as modern alternatives. This guide walks you through installing Makefile & Build, configuring it for your setup, and running your first commands β so you can start getting value in minutes.
