SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Inconsistent initial project scaffolds hinder onboarding and maintenance, and this skill enforces a standard output structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define and enforce the required artifacts (README.md, startup script) for any new project across languages.
  • Provide a repeatable template and guidance to accelerate project setup and ensure consistency.
  • Use cases include scaffolding new applications, standardizing internal templates, and validating codebases before release.

Quick Start

Create a new project following the required README.md and startup script rules.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a standard project structure for new codebases?

You can enforce a standard project structure by applying a deterministic validation flow that checks for required artifacts like README.md and a startup script during initial scaffolding.

What is project scaffolding validation and when do I need it?

Project scaffolding validation is the process of verifying that new application scaffolds include mandatory files like README.md and a startup script. You need it when standardizing internal templates across multi-language projects.

Can I use scaffolding templates across different programming languages?

Yes, scaffolding templates work across different programming languages. The validation flow applies to multi-language projects, ensuring every new application scaffold includes a README.md and startup script regardless of language.

What's the best way to standardize initial project templates?

The best way to standardize initial project templates is to enforce a repeatable scaffold with a deterministic activation flow that validates the presence of required files like README.md and a startup script before release.

Do I need a SKILL.md file to validate project output structure?

Yes, you need a SKILL.md file with frontmatter containing a name and description to validate project output structure. The deterministic flow also checks for optional scripts, references, and assets directories.

Why does my project scaffold fail validation before release?

Your project scaffold fails validation before release when the deterministic activation flow detects missing required artifacts. The validator checks for the presence of a README.md and a startup script to ensure structural consistency.
