To scaffold a new project, you answer a guided interview that collects project name, type, tier, and scaffold richness. The tool then generates a canonical folder structure with orientation, intent, and task files before any write operations occur.

A Second Brain project folder is a structured directory containing canonical documentation and review gates for initiatives like software builds or research. You need intent specs when starting complex efforts to capture purpose in the owner's voice before task execution begins.

Yes, project scaffolding supports fiction writing and physical builds through type-aware document generation. The system adds specific optional documents tailored to campaigns, software, writing, research, physical builds, fiction, or superpower-style projects during the intake workflow.

The best way to start a software initiative is requesting a scaffold plan, answering interview questions about your project type and tier, then confirming the generated file plan. The system performs folder collision checks and preserves owner language before creating review gates.

Project scaffolding works without external dependencies or components. The system operates independently to draft unofficial intent specs, orientation documents, and task lists while leaving reminders for owner-authored index docs and memory notes within the generated structure.

Your project scaffold requires file plan confirmation to ensure safety and continuity. This review gate prevents folder collisions, validates type-specific optional documents, and preserves owner language before the system executes any write operation on your directory.
