A pgpm boilerplate template is a standardized project structure used for `pgpm init` to ensure consistent scaffolding. You need to create one when you want to standardize new project workspaces or modules with predefined configurations.

To create a custom project boilerplate template for `pgpm init`, define your directory structure and configuration files. You can specify template types, workspace requirements, and interactive user questions to enable dynamic placeholder substitution.

Yes, you can configure interactive user questions within your boilerplate template settings. This enables a robust placeholder system that dynamically substitutes content during project initialization based on user responses.

The best way to standardize microservices scaffolding is to author a custom boilerplate template repository. This ensures all new services inherit the same directory structure and pre-configured settings.

Yes, the boilerplate template configuration explicitly supports defining workspace requirements. This allows you to properly structure monorepo environments and specify root or individual template settings during project initialization.

Placeholder substitution issues during `pgpm init` typically occur when the interactive user questions are improperly configured in the template settings. Ensure your defined directory structure correctly maps to the expected placeholder variables.
