How do I set up a new project structure for a Node.js or Python application?

To set up a new project structure, this skill automates the creation of standard directory layouts and configuration files tailored to your chosen language, such as generating `package.json` and `tsconfig.json` for Node.js. It detects your stack and scaffolds the environment automatically.

Can I generate configuration files for a Rust or Go project automatically?

Yes, you can generate configuration files automatically. The skill detects or prompts for your technology stack, then initializes the standard project structures and essential configuration files required for languages like Rust and Go.

What is the best way to scaffold a new software project with standard directories?

The best way to scaffold a new software project is using an automated initialization tool that engages you in collaborative planning. It defines the project plan, including skills and agents, before creating standard directories like `src` and `tests`.

Does this project initialization process recommend development tools for my tech stack?

Yes, the project initialization process recommends development tools. Based on your chosen language and framework, it suggests relevant AI agents and workflow skills, such as recommending `node-tdd` and `typescript-lint` for a Node.js API project.

How do I bootstrap a new TypeScript API project with the correct configuration?

To bootstrap a new TypeScript API project, the skill automates initialization by setting up essential files like `tsconfig.json` and `package.json`. It creates necessary `src` and `tests` directories while suggesting workflow enhancing skills.

Do I need to manually specify my tech stack when initializing a new project?

No, you do not need to manually specify your tech stack. The skill features intelligent stack detection that automatically identifies your technology stack, though it can prompt you to ensure accurate project structure and configuration file setup.
