Quality Stack

Scan a project's build configuration across JVM, Android, Node.js, and Python ecosystems, cross-reference against curated research documents, and assist with tool setup.

Pre-flight

1. Run the orchestrator — it auto-detects ecosystems:

   python3 <skill-path>/scripts/scan_project.py <project-root>
   

2. If

   "error": "no_ecosystem_detected"

   , check

   nearby_project_files

   for subproject paths.
3. Monorepo? — use

   --recursive

   or

   --ecosystem

   to force a specific scanner:

   python3 <skill-path>/scripts/scan_project.py --recursive <project-root>
   python3 <skill-path>/scripts/scan_project.py --ecosystem node <project-root>
   

4. Legacy (JVM only) —

   scan_tooling.py

   still works as a backwards-compatible wrapper.

Two-Phase Workflow

Phase 1: Recommend

1. Run the scanner on the project root (see Pre-flight above).

2. Fetch research documents via WebFetch — only for detected ecosystems:

   Android (when

   ecosystems

   contains

   "android"

   ):

   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins/main/docs/research/android-ecosystem-tooling.md
   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins/main/docs/research/android-testing-ecosystem.md
   

   JVM (when

   ecosystems

   contains

   "jvm"

   ):

   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins/main/docs/research/jvm-quality-tools-evaluation.md
   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins/main/docs/research/kotlin-spring-boot-testing-ecosystem.md
   

   Node.js (when

   ecosystems

   contains

   "node"

   ):

   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins/main/docs/research/node-quality-tools-evaluation.md
   

   Python (when

   ecosystems

   contains

   "python"

   ):

   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins/main/docs/research/python-quality-tools-evaluation.md
   

   Cross-cutting (always):

   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins/main/docs/research/cross-cutting-devtools-evaluation.md
   

   If WebFetch fails, warn the user and proceed using scanner results + LLM knowledge only.

3. Cross-reference scanner output against research recommendations per ecosystem:

   • Identify tools recommended but missing from the project
   • Check

     status

     field:

     disabled

     or

     config-only

     tools need attention
   • Flag outdated or superseded tools
   • Apply ecosystem-specific SKIP rules (see WORKFLOW.md)
   • Review

     tool_config

     for threshold values and settings

4. Generate the recommendation report using the format in WORKFLOW.md.

Phase 2: Setup

After presenting the report, present tools for selection using the multi-round protocol in WORKFLOW.md. Group by ecosystem and priority tier. Include effort estimates. After user completes selection across all rounds:

1. Read the relevant research doc section for setup instructions
2. Apply Setup Guards — resolve versions, check compatibility
3. For each selected tool, apply changes per ecosystem:
   • JVM: Add Gradle/Maven plugin, test deps, config files
   • Node.js:

     pnpm add -D

     , tsconfig edits, config file creation
   • Python:

     uv add --dev

     , pyproject.toml edits, config file creation
   • Cross-cutting: CI/CD workflow steps, Lefthook config, EditorConfig
4. Verify each tool after configuration — run the tool's check command, verify filter patterns against actual codebase paths, and check for config inheritance conflicts. See WORKFLOW.md Post-Setup Verification.
5. Re-run the scanner to confirm all tools detected

Priority Classification

Ecosystem-aware rules — see WORKFLOW.md for full classification tables per ecosystem.

Key rules:

• Android Compose project: NOW Compose UI testing, SOON Roborazzi; SKIP Espresso
• Android KMP project: NOW commonTest setup, NOW Turbine; SOON Ktor MockEngine
• Android no lint config: NOW Android Lint baseline; SOON custom lint rules
• JVM Pure Kotlin: SKIP Error Prone, SpotBugs; JVM Pure Java: SKIP Detekt, ktlint, MockK
• JVM Spring Boot 4+: SKIP REST Assured, NOW MockMvcTester
• Node.js no linter: NOW ESLint; no formatter + no Biome: NOW Prettier
• Node.js TypeScript not strict: NOW enable strict
• Python no linter: NOW Ruff; no type checker + has type annotations: NOW mypy
