SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It removes the overhead of manually setting up a new OS-Intelligence workspace by creating the correct folder structure, initializing the project’s context and outputs scaffolding, and linking people and company records.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates a full project scaffold: Generates the required directory tree, seed README files, and a ready-to-edit context/current-state.md.
  • Populates project identity artifacts: Writes a project-specific CLAUDE.md that points to the right context and workspace structure.
  • Links stakeholders and updates indexes: Adds/links the user, optionally links an existing company and existing contacts, creates new contact profiles, and updates projects.md plus related people/company tables.

Quick Start

Ask Claude to run os-new-project to create a new project folder, populate CLAUDE.md and context/current-state.md, and register the project in projects.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new project workspace and generate the correct folder structure?

To scaffold a new project workspace, provide a unique project name, project type, and stakeholder details to automatically generate the required directory tree, seed README files, and a ready-to-edit current-state context file.

How does linking stakeholders to a new project update people and company records?

Linking stakeholders automatically adds or links existing contacts, optionally links an existing company, and updates the projects index alongside related people and company footprint tables to maintain accurate records.

What is the best way to initialize a CLAUDE.md context file for a new product portfolio?

Initializing a CLAUDE.md context file requires running the project setup process to populate project identity artifacts, which point to the correct workspace structure and context templates automatically.

Can I use this project scaffolding tool for portfolio management work?

Yes, this project scaffolding tool explicitly supports starting fresh product or portfolio work by collecting the project or portfolio type and applying deterministic folder creation for your specific context.

Do I need existing company and contact profiles before setting up a new project workspace?

No, you do not need existing company and contact profiles beforehand, as the setup process can optionally link an existing company while also creating new contact profiles during the workspace initialization.

Why does setting up a new project workspace manually create overhead?

Setting up a new project workspace manually creates overhead because you must scaffold folders, initialize context and output structures, write operating files, and link people and company records individually.
