SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually creating consistent project directory structures and documentation skeletons for C++ projects is time-consuming and error-prone, especially when adhering to strict software engineering standards across multiple sub-projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intelligent Level Detection: Automatically identifies whether the target directory is a repository root or a C++ project sub-directory by scanning for specific markers like projects/, xmake.lua, or src/ combined with include/.
  • Cascading Initialization: For repository roots, automatically scans and initializes all C++ sub-projects under projects/, creating complete directory trees and document skeletons.
  • Incremental Creation: Safely skips existing files and directories, only creating missing items from standardized templates without overwriting user modifications.
  • Standardized Documentation: Generates repository-level and project-level documentation structures including CLAUDE.md AI context entries, README.md files, and comprehensive docs/ directories with templates for architecture, requirements, protocols, and testing.

Quick Start

Use the project-structure-init skill to automatically create a standardized C++ project directory structure and documentation skeleton in the current working directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about project-structure-init

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-generate a standardized C++ project directory structure?▼

You can auto-generate a standardized C++ project directory structure by running an initialization skill that detects directory levels and scaffolds complete folder trees with document skeletons incrementally.

What is the best way to create documentation skeletons for multi-project C++ workspaces?▼

Creating documentation skeletons for multi-project C++ workspaces is best handled by cascading initialization, which scans project sub-directories and generates repository-level docs including architecture, requirements, protocols, and testing templates.

Does project scaffolding overwrite existing files when generating directory structures?▼

Project scaffolding does not overwrite existing files; it performs incremental creation by safely skipping existing directories and documents, only generating missing items from standardized templates to preserve user modifications.

Can I automatically add AI-context documentation to my C++ project?▼

Yes, you can automatically add AI-context documentation by generating a CLAUDE.md file alongside standard README.md files during the project structure initialization process for C++ repositories.

How does directory level detection work for C++ project scaffolding?▼

Directory level detection works by scanning for specific markers like projects/, xmake.lua, or src/ combined with include/ to identify whether the target is a repository root or a C++ project sub-directory.
