Project Fingerprinting Skill
Comprehensive project fingerprinting system that builds a multi-dimensional profile of any codebase. Used by the upgrade council to give specialist agents targeted context, eliminating irrelevant analysis and enabling framework-specific recommendations.

Detection Rules
Language Detection (priority order)
| Check | Language | Confidence |
|-------|----------|------------|
| tsconfig.json exists | TypeScript | 0.95 |
| *.ts files in src/ | TypeScript | 0.90 |
| package.json exists (no TS) | JavaScript | 0.85 |
| pyproject.toml or requirements.txt | Python | 0.95 |
| go.mod | Go | 0.95 |
| Cargo.toml | Rust | 0.95 |
| pom.xml or build.gradle | Java/Kotlin | 0.90 |
| *.rb + Gemfile | Ruby | 0.90 |
| *.cs + *.csproj | C# | 0.90 |
| *.swift + Package.swift | Swift | 0.90 |
Framework Detection (package.json dependencies)
| Dependency | Framework | Category |
|-----------|-----------|----------|
| next | Next.js | meta-framework |
| react, react-dom | React | frontend |
| vue | Vue.js | frontend |
| @angular/core | Angular | frontend |
| svelte, @sveltejs/kit | Svelte/SvelteKit | frontend/meta |
| express | Express | backend |
| fastify | Fastify | backend |
| @nestjs/core | NestJS | backend |
| hono | Hono | backend |
| @remix-run/node | Remix | meta-framework |
| astro | Astro | meta-framework |
| nuxt | Nuxt | meta-framework |
| gatsby | Gatsby | meta-framework |
| react-native | React Native | mobile |
| expo | Expo | mobile |
Python Framework Detection (requirements/pyproject)
| Dependency | Framework |
|-----------|-----------|
| fastapi | FastAPI |
| django | Django |
| flask | Flask |
| starlette | Starlette |
| tornado | Tornado |
| aiohttp | aiohttp |
Infrastructure Detection (file/directory patterns)
| Pattern | Infrastructure | Type |
|---------|---------------|------|
| Dockerfile | Docker | container |
| docker-compose.yml | Docker Compose | orchestrator |
| Chart.yaml | Helm | orchestrator |
| k8s/, kubernetes/ | Kubernetes | orchestrator |
| .github/workflows/ | GitHub Actions | ci_cd |
| .gitlab-ci.yml | GitLab CI | ci_cd |
| Jenkinsfile | Jenkins | ci_cd |
| terraform/, *.tf | Terraform | iac |
| Pulumi.yaml | Pulumi | iac |
| vercel.json | Vercel | cloud |
| netlify.toml | Netlify | cloud |
| firebase.json | Firebase | cloud |
| serverless.yml | Serverless FW | cloud |
| fly.toml | Fly.io | cloud |
| render.yaml | Render | cloud |
Quality Detection
| Check | Detection |
|-------|-----------|
| tsconfig.json → "strict": true | TypeScript strict mode |
| .eslintrc* or eslint.config.* | ESLint configured |
| .prettierrc* or prettier.config.* | Prettier configured |
| jest.config.* or vitest.config.* | Test framework |
| .husky/ directory | Pre-commit hooks |
| renovate.json or .github/dependabot.yml | Auto dependency updates |
| playwright.config.* or cypress.config.* | E2E testing |
| biome.json or biome.jsonc | Biome (lint + format) |
Architecture Pattern Detection
| Signal | Pattern |
|--------|---------|
| packages/ or apps/ directory | Monorepo |
| turbo.json or nx.json | Monorepo (confirmed) |
| Multiple Dockerfiles + docker-compose.yml | Microservices |
| serverless.yml + functions/ | Serverless |
| Single src/ with both API + UI | Monolith |
| pages/ or app/ (Next.js) + api/ | Fullstack monolith |

Framework-Specific Signal Boosters
When a framework is detected, enable additional specialist checks:
Next.js Projects
- Check for
next/imageusage (vs raw<img>) - Check for
getServerSidePropsvsgetStaticProps(SSR vs SSG opportunities) - Check App Router vs Pages Router
- Check for middleware usage
- Check for ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration)
React SPA
- Check for React.lazy + Suspense (code splitting)
- Check for React.memo on frequently re-rendered components
- Check for proper key usage in lists
- Check for StrictMode enabled
Express/Fastify Backend
- Check for middleware ordering (helmet, cors, compression)
- Check for request validation (Zod, Joi, express-validator)
- Check for rate limiting
- Check for error handling middleware
FastAPI/Django
- Check for async endpoint usage (FastAPI)
- Check for Pydantic model usage
- Check for middleware stack
- Check for CORS configuration
Output
The fingerprint is passed to all council agents as context. It determines:
- Which specialist agents are most relevant to spawn
- Which detection patterns each specialist should focus on
- Framework-specific suggestions to consider
- Scale-appropriate recommendations (don't suggest enterprise patterns for a prototype)
