SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a new project from scratch involves repetitive boilerplate work: creating folder structures, configuring package.json, setting up TypeScript configs, and installing dependencies. This Skill provides guided, framework-specific setup instructions so a complete development environment is initialized correctly the first time. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Framework Scaffolding: Supports VS Code extensions (via Yeoman generator-code), Next.js apps, Vite projects (React, Vue, Svelte, and more), MCP servers, and Python scripts or packages. - MCP Server Initialization: Fetches official Model Context Protocol SDK documentation, creates the required mcp.json configuration in .vscode, and sets up debugging support. - Python Project Templates: Invokes VS Code commands to create Python script or distributable package projects with the proper environment extensions. - Use Case: A developer asks to "set up a new TypeScript MCP server" — the Skill fetches the SDK docs, scaffolds the project, writes the mcp.json config, and prepares it for debugging in VS Code. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a new project of a specific type, such as "set up a new Next.js project with TypeScript in this empty workspace."

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new VS Code extension project?▼

Run npx with yo and generator-code using the command npx --package yo --package generator-code -- yo code . --skipOpen. You can specify the extension type (ts, js, colortheme, snippets, and more), display name, package manager, and bundler via command arguments.

How do I set up a Next.js project from scratch?▼

Run npx create-next-app@latest . in an empty folder. Options include TypeScript or JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, ESLint, App Router, src directory, Turbopack, and a choice of npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun as the package manager.

What frameworks does Vite scaffolding support?▼

Vite project creation supports vanilla, Vue, React, Preact, Lit, Svelte, Solid, and Qwik templates, each available in TypeScript or JavaScript variants. Select one with the -t or --template flag when running create-vite.

How do I initialize an MCP server project in VS Code?▼

Fetch the SDK instructions from modelcontextprotocol.io for your chosen language, defaulting to TypeScript. Then create an mcp.json file in the .vscode folder defining the server name, stdio command, and arguments so the server can be debugged in VS Code.

When should I not use project scaffolding?▼

Do not use full project setup when creating single files, adding components to existing projects, or modifying existing codebases. Scaffolding is intended only for empty folders or brand-new workspaces requiring complete structure, dependencies, and configuration.

Can I create a Python package project in VS Code?▼

Yes, by invoking the python-envs.createNewProjectFromTemplate VS Code command with the python-package template, a package name, and a target path. This requires the ms-python.python and ms-python.vscode-python-envs extensions to be installed.
