FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a new project for quantitative finance development?▼

This Skill initializes finance and quantitative projects by creating a minimal directory structure and a placeholder README file. It ensures adherence to the DRIVER methodology's initial stages for a clean and organized start.

What is the DRIVER methodology for project initialization?▼

The DRIVER methodology provides a foundational directory structure for finance and quantitative projects. This Skill executes its initial stage by creating essential directories like `product/` and `product/sections/` for standardized setup.

Can I initialize a DRIVER project if a directory already exists?▼

If a DRIVER project already exists, this Skill detects the existing setup and prompts the user for action before proceeding. This prevents accidental overwrites and ensures safe project initialization.

What files and folders are created during DRIVER project scaffolding?▼

DRIVER project scaffolding creates a minimal directory structure including `product/` and `product/sections/` folders, along with a placeholder `README.md` file. This provides the baseline layout for finance tool development.

Do I need any dependencies to set up a quantitative project structure?▼

No dependencies are required to set up this quantitative project structure. The Skill independently creates the minimal directory layout and placeholder README file for DRIVER methodology initialization.
