SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generate standardized project skeletons based on approved architecture plans to accelerate setup and ensure consistency across repos.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create a complete directory tree and base files from SPEC.md and CLAUDE.md.
  • Initialize package managers and install dependencies, plus config files (tsconfig, eslint, prettier).
  • Setup entry point, health-check endpoint, and a baseline build and test run to validate setup.

Quick Start

Run the scaffold skill with your chosen tech stack to bootstrap a new project.

Frequently Asked Questions about scaffold

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a project skeleton from an architecture SPEC.md file?

To generate a project skeleton from architecture SPEC.md, the scaffold skill automates directory tree creation, initializes package managers, generates config files, and commits the baseline project structure.

What's the best way to bootstrap a new project with tsconfig, eslint, and prettier config files?

Bootstrapping a new project with config files is handled by generating the folder tree, initializing the package manager, and setting up tsconfig, eslint, and prettier configurations automatically.

Can I use architecture-driven project setup to create a health-check endpoint and entry point?

Architecture-driven project setup supports creating the entry point and health-check endpoint, followed by running a baseline build and test to validate the generated project structure.

Does project scaffolding require a CLAUDE.md file to initialize the directory structure?

Project scaffolding uses both SPEC.md and CLAUDE.md files to apply architecture-defined plans, producing a complete directory structure and starter files across supported tech stacks.

Why does my project scaffolding fail during the baseline build and test run?

Project scaffolding runs a baseline build and test after initializing the package manager and generating configuration files, so failures typically indicate missing dependencies or invalid configuration setups.

What is architecture-driven scaffolding and when do I need it for project bootstrapping?

Architecture-driven scaffolding generates standardized project skeletons from approved architecture plans, accelerating setup and ensuring repository consistency by creating the full directory tree and base files.
