FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new project structure without overwriting existing files?▼

To scaffold a project structure safely, use a non-destructive bootstrapping tool that generates root files and spec registries while refusing to overwrite any existing files already present in the directory.

What is the difference between Minimal and Full modes for project bootstrapping?▼

Minimal mode creates only the essential root files and specs directory needed to start a new project, while Full mode scaffolds the complete structure for upgrades or repair workflows.

When do I need to generate spec registries for my project?▼

You need to generate spec registries when initializing a new SDD project or upgrading an existing one, ensuring the project-level structure is properly bootstrapped for future development.

Can I use template-driven file creation to initialize a project skeleton?▼

Yes, you can initialize a project skeleton using template-driven file creation, which automatically generates the necessary root files and spec registries according to predefined templates.

Does the scaffolding process support upgrades to an existing project structure?▼

Yes, the scaffolding process supports upgrades by using Full mode to scaffold the complete structure, allowing for safe repair workflows without destroying existing project files.
