init-project-cookiecutter

To scaffold a BDD CLI project from a Git template, this skill automates fetching cookiecutter templates from a registry, applying user overrides, and generating a production-ready project skeleton with your chosen CLI framework.

Yes, you can generate a CLI project using Click, Typer, or argparse. The cookiecutter integration allows you to select your preferred CLI framework during the interactive or scripted project generation workflow.

The best way to automate boilerplate setup is using this skill to dynamically discover templates, fetch them from Git, and perform post-generation setup like git initialization, virtual environment creation, and dependency installation.

Yes, you need PyYAML installed to generate projects from a cookiecutter registry. PyYAML is a required dependency for parsing the template_sources.yaml registry used to dynamically discover available Git-backed templates.

Cookiecutter handles subdirectories and specific Git checkouts by applying checkout handling and subdirectory targeting during template fetching. This ensures the correct template version is pulled from the Git repository before applying user overrides.

If a cookiecutter template is missing or prerequisites are not installed, the skill implements error handling to gracefully catch these issues. It prevents project generation from failing silently by identifying missing templates or unmet environment prerequisites.
