xmake-style: Workflow Automation for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Use when writing or reviewing an `xmake.lua` (project, package recipe, or toolchain) and you want to follow idiomatic xmake style — description vs script domain separation, naming, indentation, `set_` vs `add_`, option/config organization, and common conventions used across xmake-repo and the xmake project itself. Apply this alongside `xmake-targets`/`xmake-packages`/etc. as a stylistic overlay.

Xmake Configuration Style & Conventions

xmake.lua is Lua, but idiomatic xmake code looks less like Lua and more like a declarative configuration. Following the conventions below keeps files readable, fast to parse, and consistent with the style used throughout xmake and xmake-repo.

1. The description / script split (the single most important rule)

xmake.lua has two domains and they have very different rules.

Description domain — keep it declarative

This is the top-level body of target(), option(), package(), task(), rule(), and their set_xxx/add_xxx calls.

target("app")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    add_defines("DEBUG")
    add_syslinks("pthread")

Rules for the description domain:

Treat it as config, not code. Basic if is_plat(...) and for _, x in ipairs({...}) are fine; complex logic is not.
It is parsed multiple times. Every set_/add_ call may run more than once as xmake re-enters the file at different configuration stages. Never print() here (you will see it twice), and never do expensive work (I/O, git, network, shell).
Many APIs are forbidden or read-only here. os.getenv is read-only; most mutating os.* calls are blocked.
If logic is not a trivial if or for, move it to the script domain.

Script domain — put complex logic here

Anything inside on_load, on_config, before_build, after_build, on_install, on_test, etc., is the script domain. It runs once per lifecycle hook and has the full xmake Lua environment.

target("app")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    on_load(function (target)
        if is_plat("linux", "macosx") then
            target:add("links", "pthread", "m", "dl")
        end
    end)
    after_build(function (target)
        import("core.project.config")
        os.cp(target:targetfile(), path.join(config.buildir(), "dist"))
    end)

Use on_load for dynamic per-target configuration that would be ugly as nested if blocks at description level.

Extract long scripts to separate files

Once a hook body exceeds ~15 lines, move it out:

target("app")
    on_load("modules.app.load")
    on_install("modules.app.install")

With files at modules/app/load.lua and modules/app/install.lua, each exporting a main function. Keeps the main xmake.lua scannable.

2. Indentation and layout

The conventions used throughout the xmake project itself:

-- 4 spaces, never tabs
add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")

-- blank line between top-level blocks
add_requires("fmt 10.x", "spdlog")

-- everything inside a target() is indented one level
target("mylib")
    set_kind("static")
    add_files("src/lib/*.cpp")
    add_includedirs("include", {public = true})
    add_packages("fmt")

target("app")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/app/*.cpp")
    add_deps("mylib")

4 spaces per level. No tabs. The xmake CONTRIBUTING guide makes this explicit.
No explicit target_end() unless you have to. A new top-level call (target, option, package, rule, task) implicitly closes the previous one.
Blank line between blocks. Makes visual scanning easier when a file has many targets.
Related add_* calls stay grouped. Put add_files / add_headerfiles together; put add_includedirs / add_defines together; put add_packages / add_deps together.
Comments use --. Use -- for single-line comments. Avoid --[[ ]] blocks unless you are commenting out several lines temporarily.

Parentheses are optional for single-arg string calls

Both of these are valid:

target("test")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.c")

target "test"
    set_kind "binary"
    add_files "src/*.c"

Pick one and stick with it per file. The xmake and xmake-repo codebases predominantly use parentheses — match that style unless you have a reason.

3. Naming conventions

Target names: lowercase, - or _ for word separators. mylib, my-lib, my_lib. Match the produced binary name when it makes sense.
Options: same — lowercase with _. Prefix with enable_ / with_ / has_ to signal intent (enable_foo, with_openssl, has_avx2).
Rules: dotted namespaces for grouping (mycompany.codegen, mycompany.protobuf). Match how built-in rules are named (mode.debug, c++.unity_build, plugin.compile_commands.autoupdate).
Custom toolchains: short, lowercase, no prefix. myclang, arm-muslgcc.
Packages (in xmake-repo recipes): exactly the upstream name, lowercase, --separated. Match what add_requires users will type.

4. `set_` vs `add_`: pick the right one

set_xxx — replaces. Use for single-valued properties: set_kind, set_version, set_languages, set_optimize, set_symbols, set_default, set_toolchains.
add_xxx — appends. Use for list-valued properties: add_files, add_includedirs, add_defines, add_links, add_deps, add_packages, add_cxflags.

If you call set_xxx twice for the same key, the second wins. If that is what you want, fine — but it is almost always a mistake.

-- ✗ wrong: second set_languages replaces the first
set_languages("c++17")
set_languages("c++20")

-- ✓ just set it once, at the level you want
set_languages("c++20")

5. Scope & visibility (`{public = true}`)

Use {public = true} for anything a dependent target needs to see: public headers, public defines, public link libraries.

target("mylib")
    set_kind("static")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    add_includedirs("include", {public = true})    -- dependents get -Iinclude
    add_defines("MYLIB_STATIC", {public = true})   -- and this define

Private by default is correct: a dependent target should not inherit your src/ include dir or your internal defines.
{force = true} bypasses xmake's automatic flag-detection filter. Use sparingly and only when you know the flag is supported.

6. Conditionals: prefer `is_plat` / `is_arch` / `is_mode`

Idiomatic:

if is_plat("windows") then
    add_defines("WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN")
elseif is_plat("linux", "macosx") then
    add_syslinks("pthread")
end

if is_mode("debug") then
    add_defines("DEBUG")
    set_symbols("debug")
end

Avoid reaching into os.host() / os.arch() at description level for platform gating — that is the host, not the target. is_plat/is_arch reflect the configured target and are the right answer 99% of the time.

7. Options — declaration style

option("enable_foo")
    set_default(false)
    set_showmenu(true)
    set_description("Enable the foo subsystem")
    set_category("feature")         -- optional grouping in --menu
option_end()

Conventions:

Always set_showmenu(true) if the option is meant for end users — otherwise it's invisible to xmake f --menu.
Always set_description(...) — the description is what shows up in the configure menu.
Use set_default(...) to pin a default; do not rely on nil.
Use set_values(...) to constrain to an enum when applicable.
For build-flag-style options, prefer has_config("name") over get_config("name") in the target body unless you need the actual value.

8. Packages — declaration style

In a project xmake.lua:

-- all add_requires at the top of the file
add_requires("fmt 10.x")
add_requires("spdlog", {configs = {header_only = false}})
add_requires("openssl", {system = false})

target("app")
    add_packages("fmt", "spdlog", "openssl")

Declare add_requires near the top, before any target(). Keeps the dependency surface visible in one place.
Pin major versions for anything you actually care about stability for ("fmt 10.x", "boost 1.84.x").
Prefer add_packages(...) over manually setting add_links/add_includedirs — the package integration does the right thing automatically.

In a package recipe (packages/<a>/<name>/xmake.lua in xmake-repo):

package("mylib")
    set_homepage("https://example.com/mylib")
    set_description("A short one-line description")
    set_license("MIT")

    add_urls("https://github.com/example/mylib/archive/v$(version).tar.gz",
             "https://github.com/example/mylib.git")

    add_versions("1.2.3", "abcdef...sha256...")

    add_configs("shared", {description = "Build shared library", default = false, type = "boolean"})
    add_configs("with_ssl", {description = "Enable SSL support", default = true, type = "boolean"})

    add_deps("cmake")
    if is_plat("linux") then
        add_syslinks("pthread")
    end

    on_install(function (package)
        local configs = {"-DBUILD_TESTS=OFF"}
        table.insert(configs, "-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=" .. (package:config("shared") and "ON" or "OFF"))
        import("package.tools.cmake").install(package, configs)
    end)

    on_test(function (package)
        assert(package:has_cfuncs("mylib_init", {includes = "mylib.h"}))
    end)
package_end()

Recipe conventions:

set_homepage / set_description / set_license in that order, at the top.
Multiple add_urls for mirror fallback; the .git URL last.
add_configs names lowercased with underscores: shared, with_ssl, header_only, enable_foo. Match what users already type in other recipes.
add_versions kept in descending order (newest at top) in xmake-repo.
on_install uses import("package.tools.cmake") (or autoconf, meson, make, msbuild, xmake) — almost always one of these. Don't hand-roll.
on_test asserts a real symbol with has_cfuncs / has_cxxtypes / check_csnippets. Empty on_test is a red flag.

9. Don't reinvent common patterns

Build modes → add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release"). Don't hand-roll debug/release defines.
compile_commands.json → add_rules("plugin.compile_commands.autoupdate", {outputdir = "."}).
Unity builds → add_rules("c++.unity_build"), not hand-crafted aggregating files.
Qt apps → add_rules("qt.widgetapp" / "qt.quickapp"), not manual uic/moc/rcc invocations.
Generating a config header → add_configfiles("config.h.in") + set_configvar, not a before_build Lua shell script.

If the built-in exists, use it. It handles edge cases (cross-compilation, multiple platforms, caching) that your hand-rolled version will not.

10. Things to avoid

Anti-pattern	Why	Do this instead
`print(...)` at description level	Runs multiple times	Use `cprint` in `on_load` / `on_config`, or `utils.vprint` gated by `-v`
Complex `for` / nested `if` at description level	Parsed multiple times; harder to reason about	Move into `on_load(function(target) ... end)`
`os.iorun` / git calls at description level	Runs during every parse	Move into `on_load` or a task
`add_cxflags("-std=c++20", {force = true})`	Bypasses xmake's language handling	`set_languages("c++20")`
`add_links("pthread")` on cross-platform code	Not a library on Windows	`add_syslinks("pthread")`
`set_languages` called per-target when every target uses the same standard	Duplication	Call once at the top of `xmake.lua`
Using absolute paths	Not portable	Paths relative to `xmake.lua`; xmake resolves them
Re-exporting every header with `add_includedirs`	Pollutes dependents	`{public = true}` only on the public include dir
Empty `on_test` in

# Xmake Configuration Style & Conventions

`xmake.lua` is Lua, but idiomatic xmake code looks less like Lua and more like a declarative configuration. Following the conventions below keeps files readable, fast to parse, and consistent with the style used throughout [`xmake`](https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake) and [`xmake-repo`](https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake-repo).

## 1. The description / script split (the single most important rule)

`xmake.lua` has **two domains** and they have very different rules.

### Description domain — keep it declarative

This is the top-level body of `target()`, `option()`, `package()`, `task()`, `rule()`, and their `set_xxx`/`add_xxx` calls.

```lua
target("app")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    add_defines("DEBUG")
    add_syslinks("pthread")
```

Rules for the description domain:

- **Treat it as config, not code.** Basic `if is_plat(...)` and `for _, x in ipairs({...})` are fine; complex logic is not.
- **It is parsed multiple times.** Every `set_`/`add_` call may run more than once as xmake re-enters the file at different configuration stages. **Never `print()` here** (you will see it twice), and never do expensive work (I/O, git, network, shell).
- **Many APIs are forbidden or read-only here.** `os.getenv` is read-only; most mutating `os.*` calls are blocked.
- If logic is not a trivial `if` or `for`, move it to the script domain.

### Script domain — put complex logic here

Anything inside `on_load`, `on_config`, `before_build`, `after_build`, `on_install`, `on_test`, etc., is the script domain. It runs **once per lifecycle hook** and has the full xmake Lua environment.

```lua

    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    on_load(function (target)
        if is_plat("linux", "macosx") then
            target:add("links", "pthread", "m", "dl")
        end
    end)
    after_build(function (target)
        import("core.project.config")
        os.cp(target:targetfile(), path.join(config.buildir(), "dist"))
    end)
```

Use `on_load` for dynamic per-target configuration that would be ugly as nested `if` blocks at description level.

### Extract long scripts to separate files

Once a hook body exceeds ~15 lines, move it out:

```lua
target("app")
    on_load("modules.app.load")
    on_install("modules.app.install")
```

With files at `modules/app/load.lua` and `modules/app/install.lua`, each exporting a `main` function. Keeps the main `xmake.lua` scannable.
