SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill defines a standard metadata and project structure blueprint for OCaml projects, helping teams bootstrap libraries/modules with consistent configuration, CI readiness, and clear API surfaces.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project metadata templates for dune-project, license, authors, and maintainers to enable opam and packaging.
  • Project skeleton guidance for essential files like dune, dune-project, .ocamlformat, README, LICENSE, and CI templates to ensure reproducibility.
  • Code quality & API discipline guidance for module interfaces (.mli) and consistent coding standards across new OCaml projects.

Quick Start

Create a new OCaml library using the standardized project blueprint to ensure opam compatibility and CI readiness.
