SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Inconsistent initial project scaffolds hinder onboarding and maintenance, and this skill enforces a standard output structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define and enforce the required artifacts (README.md, startup script) for any new project across languages.
  • Provide a repeatable template and guidance to accelerate project setup and ensure consistency.
  • Use cases include scaffolding new applications, standardizing internal templates, and validating codebases before release.

Quick Start

Create a new project following the required README.md and startup script rules.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a standard project structure for new codebases?▼

You can enforce a standard project structure by applying a deterministic validation flow that checks for required artifacts like README.md and a startup script during initial scaffolding.

What is project scaffolding validation and when do I need it?▼

Project scaffolding validation is the process of verifying that new application scaffolds include mandatory files like README.md and a startup script. You need it when standardizing internal templates across multi-language projects.

Can I use scaffolding templates across different programming languages?▼

Yes, scaffolding templates work across different programming languages. The validation flow applies to multi-language projects, ensuring every new application scaffold includes a README.md and startup script regardless of language.

What's the best way to standardize initial project templates?▼

The best way to standardize initial project templates is to enforce a repeatable scaffold with a deterministic activation flow that validates the presence of required files like README.md and a startup script before release.

Do I need a SKILL.md file to validate project output structure?▼

Yes, you need a SKILL.md file with frontmatter containing a name and description to validate project output structure. The deterministic flow also checks for optional scripts, references, and assets directories.

Why does my project scaffold fail validation before release?▼

Your project scaffold fails validation before release when the deterministic activation flow detects missing required artifacts. The validator checks for the presence of a README.md and a startup script to ensure structural consistency.
