FAQPage Schema
How do I create exercise directory structures that pass linting rules?

To create exercise directory structures that pass linting, you need consistent naming conventions and required readme files across sections, exercise stubs, and solution folders. This process generates validation-ready layouts for educational repositories.

What is the best way to scaffold course development folders with problem and solution stubs?

Scaffolding course development folders with problem and solution stubs is best handled by generating the entire directory tree with required files at once. This ensures all explainer folders and naming conventions satisfy project linting requirements from the start.

How do I generate readme files for new educational module sections?

Generating readme files for new educational module sections requires applying course development workflows to your directory structure. The process adds required readme files automatically to exercise stubs and variant folders to ensure lint compliance.

Can I use automated scaffolding to prepare an educational repository for review?

Automated scaffolding prepares an educational repository for review by creating valid exercise directory structures with required files and naming conventions. It generates problem, solution, and explainer folders that are validation-ready for development workflows.

Why does my exercise repository fail lint validation on directory structure?

Exercise repository lint validation fails on directory structure when naming conventions are inconsistent or required readme files are missing. Generating lint-compatible folders with standardized sections and exercise stubs resolves these validation errors.
