Scaffolding a project kernel from templates works by reading SKILL.md frontmatter, extracting identity and context mappings, and generating a complete _kernel directory with key.md, log.md, insights.md, and now.json files for immediate activation.

Initializing a new context scaffold generates a _kernel directory containing key.md, log.md, insights.md, now.json, tasks.json, and completed.json, alongside populated identity, goals, people, and context sections derived from source templates.

Yes, the scaffolding process copies live context and references into the new structure without altering the original source data, ensuring safe migration while preparing the initial templates for downstream organization.

Setting up planning tasks for a newly scaffolded project happens automatically by generating tasks.json and completed.json templates within the _kernel, wiring up the planning scaffold for immediate content extension and migration.

Organizing a new project across domains requires specifying the target domain like venture, experiment, life, or person, which automatically creates the correct folder structure and seeds the initial _kernel files for that specific context.
