FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to structure a research software project for reproducibility?▼

Standardizing your research software project structure involves enforcing a consistent root layout and clear instruction files like CLAUDE.md. This approach ensures reproducibility and maintainability by applying established scaffolding patterns and reference templates for architecture and testing.

How do I scaffold a new R or Julia package with consistent CI/CD workflows?▼

Scaffolding R and Julia packages requires applying standardized root structures and reference templates for CI/CD workflows and documentation. You can establish consistent core files and development command guidelines to ensure maintainable research software repositories.

Can I use this project organization approach to audit an existing repository?▼

Auditing existing repositories with this project organization approach checks for structural consistency by validating the presence of a clear CLAUDE.md, consistent core files, and reference templates for development commands and architecture.

Does this scaffolding pattern work for both R and Julia packages?▼

Yes, the scaffolding pattern explicitly supports both R and Julia packages. It enforces a standardized root structure and provides Claude Code guidelines tailored to research software, ensuring consistent project layouts across both languages.

What is a CLAUDE.md file and when do I need it for project organization?▼

A CLAUDE.md file defines project-specific instructions and development workflows for Claude Code. You need it when scaffolding a new research software project or auditing an existing one to ensure consistent development commands and architectural patterns.

Why should I use standardized templates for research software project organization?▼

Using standardized templates for research software project organization solves consistency and maintainability challenges across teams. It provides proven reference patterns for architecture, testing, documentation, and CI/CD scaffolding to support reproducible research.
