SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation of new software projects and the integration of standardized development configurations into existing ones, saving developers significant setup time and ensuring consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • New Project Scaffolding: Generates new projects with pre-configured linters, formatters, type checkers, and testing frameworks tailored to specific languages (TypeScript, Python, Swift) and project structures (single-package, monorepo).
  • Retrofit Existing Projects: Adds missing development configurations to existing codebases, bringing them up to modern standards without disrupting current work.
  • Use Case: When starting a new TypeScript monorepo, you can use this Skill to automatically set up Biome for linting/formatting, Vitest for testing, and Cursor/Claude hooks for AI integration, all with a single command.

Quick Start

Use the scaffold-project skill to create a new TypeScript monorepo named 'my-app'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new TypeScript monorepo with linting and testing pre-configured?

Scaffold a TypeScript monorepo by running the project setup command, which automatically generates the monorepo structure and integrates Biome for linting and formatting alongside Vitest for testing.

Can I retrofit existing Python projects with standardized development configurations?

Yes, you can retrofit existing Python projects by adding missing linters, formatters, type checkers, and testing frameworks to standardize development configurations without disrupting your current codebase.

Does project scaffolding support Swift and single-package repository structures?

Yes, project scaffolding supports Swift, TypeScript, and Python for both single-package and monorepo structures, ensuring standardized development configurations are applied across different project scales.

What is the best way to automate AI assistant hooks during project setup?

Automate AI assistant hooks during project setup by using the scaffolding tool to integrate Cursor and Claude hooks directly into your generated project configuration files with a single command.

What development configurations are included when scaffolding a new software project?

Scaffolding a new software project includes pre-configured linters, formatters, type checkers, testing frameworks, and AI assistant hooks tailored to your specific language and repository structure.

Are there limitations when retrofitting configurations into an existing codebase?

Retrofitting configurations into an existing codebase is designed to avoid disrupting current work, but requires ensuring your existing project structure aligns with the supported TypeScript, Python, or Swift standards.
