Polyglot Stack

For projects with multiple languages (e.g., Python backend + JavaScript frontend).

Each subproject implements full aug-just/justfile-interface (Level 0 baseline).

Root implements minimal subset for orchestration.

Root Justfile

Implements: Subset of aug-just/justfile-interface Requires: aug-just plugin for justfile management

Customize

_run-all

: Change

api web

to match your subproject directories.

Usage

Root level:

just dev-install    # Setup everything
just check-all      # Run all quality checks
just build          # Build all artifacts

Subproject level:

cd api && just test           # Run API tests
cd web && just test-watch     # Watch mode for web

Commands not at root: Run directly in subprojects:

• format

  ,

  lint

  ,

  typecheck

  - Run per-project as needed

• test

  ,

  coverage

  ,

  integration-test

  - Run per-project

• test-watch

  - Must run in specific subproject

Subproject Configuration

api/ (Python): See

configuring-python-stack

web/ (JavaScript): See

configuring-javascript-stack

Each subproject has its own:

• Full justfile implementing aug-just/justfile-interface
• Stack-specific config files (pyproject.toml, package.json, etc.)
• Independent test suites, coverage thresholds, quality gates

Notes

• Root justfile does NOT implement full interface - only orchestration subset
• Each subproject is independently valid (

  cd api && just check-all

  works)

• _run-all

  fails fast (exits on first failure)
• Root-level

  check-all

  ensures all subprojects pass quality gates
