FAQPage Schema
How do I set up linting and formatting for a new project?

Linting and formatting establish code quality standards from the start. This Skill automates configuration of linters and formatters, applying best-practice rules to enforce consistent style across your codebase without manual setup.

What are pre-commit hooks and why should I use them?

Pre-commit hooks are automated checks that run before each Git commit, catching issues early. They enforce linting, formatting, and vulnerability scanning locally, preventing broken or non-compliant code from entering your repository.

How do I bootstrap a project with CI/CD configuration?

CI/CD baselines establish automated testing and deployment workflows. This Skill generates essential configuration files to run linting, type checking, and security scans on every commit, ensuring quality gates are active from day one.

Can I automate .gitignore and .editorconfig setup?

Yes. This Skill generates standard .gitignore and .editorconfig files tailored to your project type, ensuring consistent editor behavior and preventing accidental commits of build artifacts, dependencies, or sensitive files.

Does this handle secret and vulnerability scanning configuration?

Yes. The Skill configures secret and vulnerability scanning tools as part of project bootstrap, detecting exposed credentials and known vulnerabilities in dependencies automatically during pre-commit and CI/CD stages.

When should I use project setup automation versus manual configuration?

Use automation when creating new repositories, adding missing quality tooling to existing projects, or setting up development environments. It eliminates boilerplate inconsistency and ensures best practices are applied consistently across teams.
