What is the best way to set up problem, solution, and explainer subfolders for new exercises?▼

The best way to set up problem, solution, and explainer subfolders is to specify the intended exercise format during scaffolding. The tool automatically stubs these optional variant folders based on your lesson plan requirements.

Does this scaffolding tool validate that required readme files are non-empty?▼

Yes, the scaffolding tool validates that required readme files are present and non-empty. It creates lint-ready stubs to ensure your exercise directory structure passes validation checks for required files and folders.

Can I use this to turn a lesson plan into a complete exercise tree?▼

Yes, you can use this to turn a lesson plan into a complete exercise tree. It creates section and exercise directory structures with the right naming conventions, preparing content that must pass lint checks for a new course module.
