project-init

To scaffold a new repository, you use the project-init skill to apply stack-aware settings for Node.js, Python, Rust, or Go. It interactively gathers project details, generates configuration files, and updates documentation automatically.

Stack-aware project initialization automatically configures a new repository for a specific technology stack like Node.js or Python. You need it to jumpstart development and avoid manual scaffolding of config files and documentation.

Yes, project scaffolding works with Python, Rust, Node.js, and Go stacks. It detects the chosen stack interactively and applies stack-specific configuration files to ensure your repository is set up correctly.

Running repository initialization on an existing project performs preflight checks to detect existing initialization. It prevents overwriting your work and exits safely if preconditions are not met.

The main limitation of automated project scaffolding is that it requires preflight validation to pass. If requirements are not met, the tool exits safely without generating config files or updating documentation.
