SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the scaffolding of Python projects to enforce internal/public content separation and company standards, reducing setup time and ensuring consistent structures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a ready-to-copy template with src layout, internal docs, and public docs.
  • Includes automation scripts to bootstrap, lint, test, and validate structure.
  • Ensures internal content (AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md, internal docs) is kept private while exposing public artifacts.
  • Supports onboarding of new teams and rapid starter creation for new projects.

Quick Start

Use this skill to generate a compliant Python project skeleton from the starter template, customize with your package name, authors, and repository URLs, and verify structure with the included tooling.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a Python project with a standard src layout?

Scaffolding a Python project with a standard src layout involves using template-driven bootstrapping to automatically generate src/, tests/, and docs/ directories. This enforces clean separation between internal governance content and public artifacts while ensuring a compliant structure.

What is the best way to separate internal and public content in a Python repository?

Separating internal and public content in a Python repository means keeping files like AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md, and internal docs private while exposing only public artifacts. This is achieved by enforcing a project structure with dedicated directories for internal governance versus public documentation.

Can I configure linting and testing for a new Python project using pyproject.toml?

Yes, you can configure linting and testing using pyproject.toml. When you scaffold a Python project with automated setup scripts, the tooling validates the structure and enforces standards directly through configurations defined in your pyproject.toml file.

Does this Python project scaffolding tool work for CI environments and team onboarding?

Yes, this Python project scaffolding tool works for CI environments and team onboarding. It supports rapid starter creation across local and CI environments, providing a ready-to-copy template that ensures new teams instantly follow consistent company standards.

How do I bootstrap a Python starter template with automated validation scripts?

To bootstrap a Python starter template with automated validation scripts, generate a compliant project skeleton from the starter template. You then customize the package name, authors, and repository URLs, and verify the structure using the included tooling and setup scripts.
