Recipe: Makefile writer from project description

Generate a complete, production-grade Makefile from a natural-language description of your project structure, build targets, and dependencies.

Overview

This recipe takes a plain-English project description and emits a Makefile with proper phony targets, automatic dependency resolution, compiler flag management, and clean/dist rules. It handles C, C++, Go, and mixed-language projects out of the box.

Input Format

Describe your project in freeform text. Include the language, source directory layout, desired output binary name, any external libraries, and special build requirements. The writer infers the rest.

Example input:

C project in src/ with main.c, utils.c, and headers in include/.
Output binary: meridian_loader.exe.
Link against libsodium and bcrypt.
Need debug and release targets.

Output

A complete Makefile placed in the project root. Includes automatic.ddependency files, incremental builds, and colored output. All phony targets are documented with help text.

Usage

Paste your project description into the recipe input field and run. The generated Makefile is ready to use immediately — no manual edits required for standard layouts.
