project-scaffolding

This project scaffolding skill provides an automated, professional-grade setup wizard for developers, comparable to the advanced project creation tools found in JetBrains IDEs like WebStorm or PyCharm. Designed to accelerate development, it allows users to initialize a wide variety of project structures, ranging from simple static HTML/CSS websites and landing pages to complex full-stack applications, mobile apps, and microservices. By orchestrating a guided, step-by-step interactive workflow, the skill ensures that every new repository starts with industry-standard patterns, robust directory structures, and pre-configured tooling.

• Extensive support for 70+ project types including React, Next.js, Vue, Astro, Remix, React Native, Flutter, Expo, FastAPI, Django, Express, NestJS, Go/Gin, Rust/Axum, Spring Boot, and more.

• Comprehensive environment setup covering language versions (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust), package managers (npm, pnpm, yarn, bun, poetry, uv), and framework-specific dependencies.

• Built-in configuration for professional-grade code quality tools such as ESLint, Prettier, Ruff, golangci-lint, and clippy.

• DevOps integration options including Docker and multi-stage Dockerfiles, docker-compose orchestration, and CI/CD pipeline templates for GitHub Actions and GitLab CI.

• Advanced database and ORM initialization support for PostgreSQL, SQLite, Prisma, SQLAlchemy, and sqlc to ensure type-safe data access from the first commit.

• Best for software engineers, full-stack developers, and DevOps practitioners needing consistent project boilerplate and architectural patterns.

• Works by soliciting project metadata, language preferences, and stack requirements to generate customized file structures and manifests.

• Expect structured output including initialized git repositories, dependency manifests (package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod), and baseline configuration files.

• Constraints: Requires the user to have necessary runtimes and CLI tools installed (e.g., node, python, go, rust) to complete the final project setup.

• Ideal for bootstrapping monorepos, Chrome/VS Code extensions, serverless functions, or standard API servers, providing a standardized, clean start for any codebase.
