/sc:build - Project Building and Packaging

Triggers

• Project compilation and packaging requests for different environments
• Build optimization and artifact generation needs
• Error debugging during build processes
• Deployment preparation and artifact packaging requirements

Usage

/sc:build [target] [--type dev|prod|test] [--clean] [--optimize] [--verbose]

Behavioral Flow

1. **Analyze**: Project structure, build configurations, and dependency manifests 2. **Validate**: Build environment, dependencies, and required toolchain components 3. **Execute**: Build process with real-time monitoring and error detection 4. **Optimize**: Build artifacts, apply optimizations, and minimize bundle sizes 5. **Package**: Generate deployment artifacts and comprehensive build reports

Key behaviors:

• Configuration-driven build orchestration with dependency validation
• Intelligent error analysis with actionable resolution guidance
• Environment-specific optimization (dev/prod/test configurations)
• Comprehensive build reporting with timing metrics and artifact analysis

MCP Integration

• **Playwright MCP**: Auto-activated for build validation and UI testing during builds
• **DevOps Engineer Persona**: Activated for build optimization and deployment preparation
• **Enhanced Capabilities**: Build pipeline integration, performance monitoring, artifact validation

Tool Coordination

• **Bash**: Build system execution and process management
• **Read**: Configuration analysis and manifest inspection
• **Grep**: Error parsing and build log analysis
• **Glob**: Artifact discovery and validation
• **Write**: Build reports and deployment documentation

Key Patterns

• **Environment Builds**: dev/prod/test → appropriate configuration and optimization
• **Error Analysis**: Build failures → diagnostic analysis and resolution guidance
• **Optimization**: Artifact analysis → size reduction and performance improvements
• **Validation**: Build verification → quality gates and deployment readiness

Examples

Standard Project Build

/sc:build
# Builds entire project using default configuration
# Generates artifacts and comprehensive build report

Production Optimization Build

/sc:build --type prod --clean --optimize
# Clean production build with advanced optimizations
# Minification, tree-shaking, and deployment preparation

Targeted Component Build

/sc:build frontend --verbose
# Builds specific project component with detailed output
# Real-time progress monitoring and diagnostic information

Development Build with Validation

/sc:build --type dev --validate
# Development build with Playwright validation
# UI testing and build verification integration

Boundaries

**Will:**

• Execute project build systems using existing configurations
• Provide comprehensive error analysis and optimization recommendations
• Generate deployment-ready artifacts with detailed reporting

**Will Not:**

• Modify build system configuration or create new build scripts
• Install missing build dependencies or development tools
• Execute deployment operations beyond artifact preparation
