SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the tedious process of starting new software projects by automatically generating a complete repository skeleton, including structure, documentation templates, and starter workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project scaffolding: Creates a comprehensive folder layout with docs, templates, and a ready-to-edit README.
  • Template generation: Populates templates for docs, governance, and feature workflows tailored to the project stack.
  • Quick-start for new projects: Generate a ready-to-commit base with minimal input, and optionally initialize Git.

Quick Start

Provide the project name and optional details; use the /new-project <ProjectName> directive or say "new project" to trigger the creation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically generate a project skeleton with docs and CI/CD workflows?

To generate a project skeleton automatically, you can trigger the project initialization process by providing a project name. This automatically creates the directory structure, populates documentation templates, scaffolds CI/CD workflows, and initializes Git to produce a ready-to-commit layout.

What is the best way to scaffold a new software project from zero?

The best way to scaffold a project from zero is to use automated initialization tools that create a comprehensive folder layout. This generates a complete repository skeleton with docs, feature templates, and starter workflows tailored to typical tech stacks.

Can I initialize Git automatically when creating a new project repository?

Yes, you can initialize Git automatically during project initialization. The process ensures directory structures are created and Git initialization is performed, producing a ready-to-commit project layout with minimal input.

How does template generation work for project documentation and feature workflows?

Template generation for documentation works by automatically populating templates for docs, governance, and feature workflows. These templates are tailored to the specific project stack and placed within a comprehensive folder layout during project initialization.

Do I need to specify my tech stack to get accurate project scaffolding and starter workflows?

Providing optional details about your tech stack ensures the generated project scaffolding is accurate. The initialization process covers scaffolding CI/CD workflows and populating templates specifically tailored to typical tech stacks.

What limitations should I expect when auto-creating a full project skeleton?

When auto-creating a project skeleton, the limitation is that it focuses on generating a complete base structure with starter templates rather than implementing full application logic. It produces a ready-to-edit layout with docs and CI/CD scaffolding for typical stacks.
