SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generates filesystem-safe project names from problem descriptions and creates standardized artifact directories.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Name Generation: Converts descriptions into kebab-case project names.
  • Directory Scaffold: Creates a consistent folder structure for specification, analysis, design, implementation, testing, benchmarks, and more.
  • ** README Template**: Provides starter README with placeholders.

Quick Start

Create a new project skeleton for "Collating Iterator" and inspect the generated README.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize a research project with a standardized directory structure?

A standardized directory structure organizes research artifacts into dedicated folders for specification, analysis, design, implementation, testing, benchmarks, and reports. This Skill generates a filesystem-safe project name from your problem description and creates the full scaffold automatically, including a README with metadata and placeholders.

How do I convert a problem description into a valid project folder name?

Project folder names must be filesystem-safe and use kebab-case formatting. This Skill extracts key terms from your natural language problem description, enforces lowercase hyphens, and generates a compliant name you can use immediately as your project directory.

What should a research project layout include?

A complete research project layout includes subdirectories for specification, analysis, design, language-specific implementation folders (Java, C++, Rust), testing, benchmarks, reports, and validation. This Skill creates all these folders under a projects/<project-name>/ root with a populated README template.

Can I customize the directory structure after generation?

Yes. This Skill creates a starting scaffold with standard research artifact directories. You can add, remove, or reorganize subdirectories to match your specific workflow after the initial structure is generated.

Does this work for different types of research projects?

This Skill is designed for research projects that need organized specification, analysis, design, and implementation phases. It supports multiple implementation languages (Java, C++, Rust) and includes testing and benchmarking directories, making it suitable for computational and algorithm-focused research.
