detect-stack

A project scanner that identifies the programming language, framework, package manager, test runner, linter, and build tool used in a codebase. It writes these findings to a configuration file for an improvement loop.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it once at the start of an improvement process to create the project-specific measurement configuration.
Why use it?
It avoids manually figuring out which development tools a new project uses before measuring changes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

detect-stack scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Detect Stack Skill

Analyse the project root and produce a .claude/autoimprove/config.md that configures the measurement suite for this specific codebase.

Step 1 — Fingerprint the project

Run these checks to identify the stack:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

detect-stack is a skill published in the GitHub repository benmarte/autoimprove (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 1,820 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
