SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual effort of establishing a reliable code-quality baseline for a project by configuring the checks, hooks, and documentation needed to keep work consistent and safe.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project assessment: Detects the language, existing tooling, and gaps in linting, formatting, testing, static analysis, auditing, and documentation coverage.
  • Tooling setup: Configures strict, ecosystem-appropriate quality tools and installs pre-commit hooks that enforce them.
  • Developer guide: Writes or updates AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md with a concise command reference for humans and coding agents.
  • Use case: A new or messy repository can be brought to a consistent, enforceable standard before feature work, reviews, or CI hardening begins.

Quick Start

Use the setup-code-scaffolding skill to inspect the current project, identify missing quality tools, and configure strict checks plus an agent-friendly development guide.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up pre-commit hooks and linting for a new project?

Set up pre-commit hooks and linting by assessing the project to identify missing quality tools, then configuring strict formatting and static analysis checks. The Skill installs hooks that enforce quality before code is committed.

What's the best way to add static analysis and test coverage to an existing repository?

Add static analysis and test coverage by evaluating existing tooling for gaps and bootstrapping strict quality checks across common software stacks. The Skill establishes an enforceable baseline before feature work or CI hardening begins.

Does this code quality scaffolding work with any programming language stack?

Code quality scaffolding works across common software stacks by detecting the project language and applying ecosystem-appropriate tools. It configures linting, formatting, and dependency auditing based on the specific environment found during assessment.

Can I configure dependency auditing and documentation coverage automatically?

Dependency auditing and documentation coverage are configured automatically alongside linting and test coverage. The scaffolding process detects existing tooling gaps, applies strict checks, and writes a developer guide with standardized commands.

Why do I need pre-commit hooks and strict formatting checks in my project?

Pre-commit hooks and strict formatting checks are needed to remove manual effort and keep work consistent and safe. They enforce a reliable code-quality baseline that standardizes development before reviews or CI hardening begins.

How do I generate an AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md development guide for coding agents?

Generate an AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md development guide by writing a concise command reference for humans and coding agents. This standardizes development commands as part of the code quality scaffolding setup process.
