Scaffolding course exercise directories to pass linting requires generating standardized section and exercise folders with non-empty readme.md stubs. This ensures required subfolders like problem/, solution/, and explainer/ exist immediately for lint-based validation workflows.

The standard directory structure for course exercise stubs uses XX.YY-... naming conventions for exercises, containing required problem/, solution/, and explainer/ variant subfolders. Each subfolder must contain a non-empty readme.md file to meet course workflow requirements.

Creating exercise stubs with main.ts for pnpm lint validation requires scaffolding directories that include code requirement files. The generated main.ts files ensure the pnpm lint command passes immediately without manual file creation or linting errors.

Yes, pnpm lint works with newly scaffolded course materials because the directory structure generation writes valid stubs. Non-empty readme.md files and required main.ts files are created automatically, ensuring lint passes on the first run.

Renumbering and moving exercises while maintaining directory ordering requires a safe process using git-friendly moves. This approach preserves the XX.YY-... exercise naming conventions and ensures the course curriculum structure remains intact during reorganization.

Yes, you can scaffold only specific variant folders like explainer/ instead of generating problem/, solution/, and explainer/ together. The directory structure generation supports creating only the specific exercise variants you need for your course materials.
