configure-makefile

configure-makefile is a skill for Claude Code from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,739 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A setup and audit guide for Makefiles, which define named commands for tasks such as testing, building, cleaning, and linting a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or review a Makefile, add standard or language-specific targets, follow team conventions, and check its structure in CI.
Why use it?
It gives contributors a predictable set of commands and reveals missing or inconsistent project targets.

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 B, and why

configure-makefile scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d ago.

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.

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- `clean`: `@rm -rf node_modules/ dist/ .next/ .turbo/`

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/configure:makefile

Check and configure project Makefile against project standards.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use another approach when...
Setting up a new Makefile for a project that requires Make Project can use Just instead — use /configure:justfile (preferred)
Auditing existing Makefile for missing standard targets Writing complex build rules with dependencies — consult GNU Make documentation
Ensuring Makefile follows team conventions (help target, PHONY, colors) Project uses a language-native build system (cargo, go build) exclusively
Running CI/CD compliance checks on Makefile structure Migrating from Makefile to Justfile — use /configure:justfile which handles migration
Adding language-specific build/test/lint targets to existing Makefile Debugging a specific Make target — run make -n <target> directly

Context

  • Project root: !pwd
  • Makefile exists: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'Makefile'
  • Makefile targets: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'Makefile' -exec grep -E '^[a-zA-Z_-]+:' {} +
  • Package files: !find . -maxdepth 1 \( -name 'package.json' -o -name 'pyproject.toml' -o -name 'Cargo.toml' -o -name 'go.mod' \)
  • Docker files: !find . -maxdepth 1 \( -name 'Dockerfile' -o -name 'docker-compose.yml' -o -name 'compose.yml' \)
  • Server files: !find . -path '*/src/*' -maxdepth 2 \( -name 'server.*' -o -name 'main.*' \)

Parameters

Parse from $ARGUMENTS:

  • --check-only: Report Makefile compliance status without modifications
  • --fix: Apply fixes automatically without prompting

Required Makefile targets: help, test, build, clean, lint

Execution

Execute this Makefile compliance check:

Step 1: Detect project type

Read the context values and determine project type (in order):

  1. Python: pyproject.toml or requirements.txt present
  2. Node: package.json present
  3. Rust: Cargo.toml present
  4. Go: go.mod present
  5. Generic: None of the above

Changes

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.
