scaffold-chapter

Batch scaffolding generates frontmatter and section templates across multiple chapter files automatically. The Skill infers part and chapter numbers from file paths, creates complete YAML frontmatter, derives tags and related chapters from content, and produces placeholder guidance for consistent drafting across dozens of chapters at once.

Yes. The Skill auto-infers part and chapter numbers from directory structure and filenames, then suggests tags, related chapters, and requirements based on content analysis. This eliminates manual metadata entry and ensures consistency across your book structure.

Batch scaffolding applies a consistent template structure across all chapters by generating part-aware frontmatter and section templates tailored to each chapter's position. This ensures uniform formatting and metadata fields, reducing setup time and maintaining coherent structure as your book grows.

Yes. The Skill efficiently scaffolds 50+ chapters in a single operation, applying consistent frontmatter, section structures, and metadata inference to all files simultaneously. Validation hooks ensure all scaffolds are ready for drafting without manual review of individual files.

The Skill includes a validation hook that checks generated scaffolds for proper YAML frontmatter, inferred metadata accuracy, and section template completeness. This catches formatting issues before drafting begins, ensuring all chapters meet structural requirements.
