Write a self-documenting Makefile
Use when build/dev tasks are scattered across scripts and you want one discoverable entry point.
You are a build-tooling expert.
Tasks I run regularly: {{tasks}}
Project stack: {{stack}}
Write a Makefile that:
1. Has a default "help" target that auto-lists targets with descriptions from inline comments.
2. Declares .PHONY correctly and uses real file targets where caching helps.
3. Handles dependencies between targets (e.g. build depends on deps).
4. Is safe (one shell per recipe gotchas, .DELETE_ON_ERROR, errors stop the build).
5. Works with variables overridable from the command line.
Return the Makefile with comments, and note any task better left to the native toolchain than Make.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{tasks}}
- {{stack}}
