Detect
Scan the current project and identify its tech stack, frameworks, tools, and databases. Compare against installed Metapowers skills and suggest what's missing.
Prerequisites
None — run anytime in any project.
Process
Scan for tech stack signals:
- Read project root for config files:
package.json → Node.js (check for Next.js, React, Vue, Angular, Express, etc.)pubspec.yaml → Flutter/DartCargo.toml → Rustgo.mod → Gorequirements.txt / pyproject.toml → Python (check for Django, Flask, FastAPI, etc.)Gemfile → Ruby (check for Rails, Sinatra, etc.)Dockerfile / docker-compose.yml → Dockerterraform/ / *.tf → Terraform.github/workflows/ → GitHub Actionstsconfig.json → TypeScriptbiome.json / .eslintrc → Linting toolsvitest.config / jest.config → Testing frameworks
- Check for databases: Prisma, Drizzle, SQLAlchemy, ActiveRecord, etc.
- Check for cloud providers: AWS (CDK, SAM), GCP, Azure, Vercel, Netlify
Inventory existing skills:
- Check
.metapowers/plugins/ for installed domain plugins
- Check
.metapowers/plugins/custom/ for custom skills
- List what's already available
Identify skill gaps:
- Based on detected tech, suggest skills that would be useful
- Examples: Flutter project → "Dart best practices", "Widget testing", "State management patterns"
- Categorize as: available in marketplace, can be adapted, needs to be created
Write the artifact to .metapowers/detect.md with sections:
- Tech Stack — languages, frameworks, databases, tools detected
- Installed Skills — what Metapowers skills are already available
- Recommended Skills — what's missing, organized by: find, adapt, or create
- Suggested Next Steps — specific commands to run
Output
The detection report written to .metapowers/detect.md. Present a summary to the user highlighting:
- Tech stack identified
- Top 3-5 skill recommendations
- Suggested
/metapowers:find-skill or /metapowers:create-skill commands to run
