FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a vendor-neutral .project scaffold for multiple AI tools?

To generate a vendor-neutral .project scaffold, run the builder to auto-create a PROJECT.md manifest and base instructions with optional context, resources, memory, tasks, and agents sections tailored to your repository.

What is a .project directory structure and when do I need one?

A .project directory structure standardizes AI project configuration across tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini. You need one when starting a new AI project or migrating an existing repo to ensure consistent collaboration.

Does the .project standard work with Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini?

The .project standard works with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Google Gemini by generating adapter-friendly templates and frontmatter-driven manifests that are compatible across these multiple tooling environments.

Can I include custom context, memory, and agent configurations in my .project scaffold?

You can include custom configurations by enabling optional sections for memory, resources, context, and agents during generation, producing YAML-compatible templates and ready-to-adapt scaffolds based on your project needs.

What's the best way to standardize AI project configuration across different coding assistants?

The best way to standardize AI project configuration is generating vendor-neutral .project structures with frontmatter-driven metadata, ensuring your repository uses adapter-friendly templates that work across multiple compatible tools.

Do I need any specific dependencies to create a .project manifest?

You do not need any specific dependencies to create a .project manifest; the builder operates independently to generate the PROJECT.md file and base instructions with optional sections for your repository.
