Makefile Review Workflow

Audit Makefiles for best practices, deduplication, and portability.

Quick Start

/makefile-review

When to Use

  • Makefile changes or additions
  • Build system optimization
  • Portability improvements
  • CI/CD pipeline updates
  • Developer experience improvements

Required TodoWrite Items

  1. makefile-review:context-mapped
  2. makefile-review:dependency-graph
  3. makefile-review:dedup-candidates
  4. makefile-review:tooling-alignment
  5. makefile-review:evidence-logged

Workflow

Step 1: Map Context (makefile-review:context-mapped)

Confirm baseline:

pwd && git status -sb && git diff --stat

Find Make-related files:

rg -n "^include" -g'Makefile*'
rg --files -g '*.mk'

Document changed targets, project goals, and tooling requirements.

Step 2: Dependency Graph (makefile-review:dependency-graph)

@include modules/dependency-graph.md

Step 3: Deduplication Audit (makefile-review:dedup-candidates)

@include modules/deduplication-patterns.md

Step 4: Portability Check (makefile-review:tooling-alignment)

@include modules/portability-checks.md

Step 5: Evidence Log (makefile-review:evidence-logged)

Use imbue:evidence-logging to record command outputs with file:line references.

Summarize findings:

  • Severity (critical, major, minor)
  • Expected impact
  • Suggested refactors
  • Owners and dates for follow-ups
