Justfile Skill

just is a command runner (not a build system) that saves and runs project-specific commands in a file called Justfile. It uses make-inspired syntax but is simpler and more portable, with none of make's idiosyncrasies (.PHONY, tab sensitivity, implicit rules, timestamp tracking).

This skill enforces a consistent house style so every Justfile looks the same across projects. The rules below are the authoritative convention; Tools/lint.ts validates the deterministic ones.
