SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prototype-builder scaffolds runnable prototype projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template-based scaffolding for Full-stack Web (Next.js + FastAPI), API Services, and CLI Tools.
  • Dynamic project generation when no template is chosen.
  • Automatic Makefile setup with a start target and essential scaffolds (entry points, dependencies, and README).

Quick Start

Provide a project name and type to initiate scaffolding, choose a stack (or use defaults), and run the generation. The tool will create the project under ~/projects/<project-name>/ with a Makefile, skeleton code, and documentation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a Next.js and FastAPI prototype project?▼

To scaffold a Next.js and FastAPI prototype, provide a project name and type to initiate generation. The tool creates a project skeleton under ~/projects/<project-name>/ with a working Makefile, enabling immediate startup.

Can I generate a CLI tool skeleton with a working Makefile?▼

Yes, you can generate a CLI tool skeleton with a working Makefile. Select the CLI tool template during generation, and the tool will output essential scaffolds including entry points, dependencies, and a Makefile with a start target.

What is the best way to bootstrap a runnable API service quickly?▼

The best way to bootstrap a runnable API service quickly is using a template-based scaffolding tool. It copies templates, updates README and config files, and ensures 'make start' runs to boot the project immediately.

Does the project generator work if I don't choose a specific template?▼

Yes, the project generator works if you don't choose a specific template. It supports dynamic project generation by using default stack settings to create the skeleton, config files, and Makefile.

Where are my newly generated prototype projects saved?▼

Newly generated prototype projects are saved in a default location at ~/projects/<project-name>/. The generator copies template assets to this directory and wires the Makefile for immediate execution.
