scaffold-project

Bootstrapping a FastAPI project creates a complete Python skeleton with src/config, helpers, core, providers, schema, services, and routers directories, plus a runtime-ready main.py entry point with health checks and middleware. You get a ready-to-run structure so you can start implementing endpoints immediately.

A Python project skeleton for FastAPI includes the full directory structure for src modules, docs, logs, and tests, alongside a generated main.py with health check, middleware, error hooks, and lifecycle handling. It also installs synchronized agent rules from the repository's .agents/rules/ directory.

Scaffolding a Python backend targets a specified destination directory path to create the full project skeleton deterministically. You should provide an empty destination directory so the bootstrap script can generate base files, directories, and install agent rules without conflicts.

Setting up agent rules for a new Python backend involves downloading and installing the repository's .agents/rules/ coding standards during project scaffolding. This synchronizes your new project with established practices automatically, ensuring consistent repository conventions from the start.

FastAPI middleware and lifecycle hooks do not need manual configuration when scaffolding. The generated main.py entry point includes built-in middleware, error hooks, and lifecycle handling automatically, providing a runtime-ready application foundation without additional setup.
