SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manual scaffolding of new ADLC projects is repetitive and error-prone. This skill automates a standard directory structure, boilerplate templates, and initial git setup to accelerate project kickoff.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates the standard projects/active/{project_name} directory, including files like README.md, spec.md, context.md, and tasks/current-task.md.
  • Populates templates from the provided templates directory to ensure consistency.
  • Initializes a feature branch named according to the project's type and name and updates context accordingly.
  • Helpful for onboarding new projects or teams by providing a ready-to-work skeleton.

Quick Start

Set up a new ADLC project named dashboard-optimization.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate project scaffolding for a new directory structure?▼

Automated scaffolding populates template-based documents like README.md and spec.md while initializing a git branch. It ensures directory creation, template population, and branch naming conventions are followed automatically for consistent project onboarding.

What is the best way to set up boilerplate documents for a new project?▼

Template-based scaffolding automatically populates standard files like README.md, spec.md, context.md, and tasks/current-task.md. This ensures consistent boilerplate documents are created without manual file copying.

Can I initialize a git feature branch automatically when starting a new project?▼

Yes, automated scaffolding initializes a git feature branch named according to the project's type and name. It updates the project context accordingly, ensuring version control is ready immediately after directory creation.

Does automated project setup work without manual file copying?▼

Yes, automated project setup populates templates directly from a provided templates directory. It handles project naming, type selection, and basic document generation automatically, eliminating the need for manual file copying.

Why use automated scaffolding instead of manually creating directories and files?▼

Automated scaffolding prevents repetitive manual errors by enforcing standard directory structures and naming conventions. It ensures files exist correctly and consistently, accelerating project kickoff without manual file population.
