FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to structure a research software project for reproducibility?

Standardizing your research software project structure involves enforcing a consistent root layout and clear instruction files like CLAUDE.md. This approach ensures reproducibility and maintainability by applying established scaffolding patterns and reference templates for architecture and testing.

How do I scaffold a new R or Julia package with consistent CI/CD workflows?

Scaffolding R and Julia packages requires applying standardized root structures and reference templates for CI/CD workflows and documentation. You can establish consistent core files and development command guidelines to ensure maintainable research software repositories.

Can I use this project organization approach to audit an existing repository?

Auditing existing repositories with this project organization approach checks for structural consistency by validating the presence of a clear CLAUDE.md, consistent core files, and reference templates for development commands and architecture.

Does this scaffolding pattern work for both R and Julia packages?

Yes, the scaffolding pattern explicitly supports both R and Julia packages. It enforces a standardized root structure and provides Claude Code guidelines tailored to research software, ensuring consistent project layouts across both languages.

What is a CLAUDE.md file and when do I need it for project organization?

A CLAUDE.md file defines project-specific instructions and development workflows for Claude Code. You need it when scaffolding a new research software project or auditing an existing one to ensure consistent development commands and architectural patterns.

Why should I use standardized templates for research software project organization?

Using standardized templates for research software project organization solves consistency and maintainability challenges across teams. It provides proven reference patterns for architecture, testing, documentation, and CI/CD scaffolding to support reproducible research.
