SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Initialize an AI-native development workspace quickly by generating a ready-to-use scaffold from templates and signals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects project signals on the filesystem (CI, tests, LLM/agent indicators) and runs an optional Q&A flow to tailor the scaffold.
  • Copies templates into a target directory, creating a structured project scaffold with tiered installation (Tier 0 always, Tier 1 if tests are present, Tier 2 offered if LLM/agent work is present).
  • Preserves frontmatter in copied SKILL.md and rewrites inline plugin-root paths for runtime, while copying helper scripts and agents as needed.

Quick Start

Run the scaffold-init skill to generate a greenfield AI-native workspace in your target directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold an AI-native development workspace from templates?▼

To scaffold an AI-native workspace, this tool copies templates into your target directory and injects runtime paths, creating a structured project scaffold ready for immediate use.

How does scaffolding detect project signals for tiered installation?▼

Scaffolding detects project signals by scanning the filesystem for CI, tests, and LLM or agent indicators, then uses an optional Q&A flow to tailor installation tiers based on those findings.

What are the installation tiers when initializing an AI-native workspace?▼

Installation tiers structure your workspace by always applying Tier 0, applying Tier 1 if tests are present, and offering Tier 2 if LLM or agent work is detected on the filesystem.

Does scaffold-init preserve frontmatter in SKILL.md files?▼

Yes, scaffold-init preserves frontmatter in copied SKILL.md files and rewrites inline plugin-root references for runtime, while also copying helper scripts and agents as needed.

Can I use scaffold-init for greenfield AI-native projects?▼

Yes, you can use scaffold-init to generate a greenfield AI-native workspace in your target directory by running the skill to instantly create a ready-to-use project structure.

What's the best way to automate workflow setup for LLM and agent projects?▼

Automating workflow setup for LLM and agent projects is best handled by detecting project signals on the filesystem and generating a structured scaffold with tiered installation tailored to your specific needs.
