SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Transforms a ready SPECIFICATION.md into a production-grade project scaffold aligned with the Deft framework, reducing manual setup time and ensuring consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end scaffolding: generate project structure, skeletons, and baseline tests from the specification.
  • Phase-driven workflow: automate scaffolding, implementation stubs, testing harnesses, and quality checks step by step.
  • Use Case: after a SPECIFICATION.md is prepared, quickly spin up a complete Deft-compliant project ready for development and review.

Quick Start

Provide a SPECIFICATION.md at project root and run the deft-build skill to generate a complete Deft-compliant scaffold.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a project scaffold from a specification markdown file?

To generate a project scaffold from a specification markdown file, place a SPECIFICATION.md at your project root and run a Deft-compliant build skill to automate the creation of structure, implementation stubs, and baseline tests.

What is automated scaffolding from a SPECIFICATION.md?

Automated scaffolding from a SPECIFICATION.md is the process of transforming a ready specification document into a production-grade project structure, reducing manual setup time and ensuring strict adherence to framework standards.

Can I automate phase-by-phase project setup using a specification document?

Yes, you can automate phase-by-phase project setup using a specification document by applying a phase-driven workflow that sequentially generates scaffolding, implementation stubs, testing harnesses, and quality checks.

Do I need a SPECIFICATION.md ready before generating code skeletons?

Yes, a SPECIFICATION.md must be prepared and placed at the project root before generating code skeletons, as it provides the foundational requirements required for deterministic scaffolding and quality checks.

What is the best way to ensure consistent project structure across multiple builds?

The best way to ensure consistent project structure across multiple builds is to use deterministic code generation from a standardized specification document, aligning every scaffold with strict framework compliance.

Why does automated scaffolding require a specification document?

Automated scaffolding requires a specification document because it acts as the single source of truth for deterministic project generation, dictating the structure, implementation stubs, and testing harnesses needed for development.
