Platforms count differently and update at different times.
It lists templates for web, backend, mobile, CLI, and browser-extension projects, along with initialization commands and a post-scaffold checklist. Before creating files, installing dependencies, initializing version control, or running tests, confirm the project type, destination, and current repository rules; example commands do not authorize execution.

# project-scaffold Scaffold new projects with best-practice structure, tooling, and configuration. ## Usage When Colt (or you) needs to start a new project, use this skill to generate the full boilerplate. ## Decision Tree
Ask or infer the project type: ### Web App (React / Next.js) ``` my-app/ ├── src/ │ ├── app/ # Next.js app router │ ├── components/ # Reusable UI components │ ├── lib/ # Utilities, helpers, API clients │ ├── styles/ # Global styles, Tailwind config │ └── types/ # TypeScript type definitions ├── public/ # Static assets ├── tests/ # Test files ├── .gitignore ├── .eslintrc.json ├── tailwind.config.ts ├── tsconfig.json ├── package.json └── README.md ``` **Init commands:** ```bash npx create-next-app@latest my-app --typescript --tailwind --eslint --app --src-dir cd my-app && npm install ``` ### API / Backend (FastAPI) ``` my-api/ ├── app/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── main.py # FastAPI app entry │ ├── routers/ # Route modules │ ├── models/ # Pydantic models / DB models │ ├── services/ # Business logic │ └── config.py # Settings / env vars ├── tests/ ├── .gitignore ├── pyproject.toml ├── requirements.txt └── README.md ``` **Init commands:** ```bash mkdir my-api && cd my-api uv init && uv pip install fastapi uvicorn ``` ### Mobile App (SwiftUI) ``` MyApp/ ├── MyApp/ │ ├── App.swift │ ├── ContentView.swift │ ├── Models/ │ ├── Views/ │ ├── ViewModels/ │ └── Services/ ├── MyAppTests/ ├── MyAppUITests/ └── README.md ``` **Init:** Use Xcode or `swift package init --type executable` ### CLI Tool (Node / Python) ``` my-cli/ ├── src/ │ └── index.ts # Entry point ├── bin/ │ └── my-cli # Executable wrapper ├── tests/ ├── .gitignore ├── tsconfig.json ├── package.json └── README.md ``` ### Browser Extension ``` my-extension/ ├── src/ │ ├── background.ts │ ├── content.ts │ ├── popup/ │ │ ├── popup.html │ │ ├── popup.ts │ │ └── popup.css │ └── options/ ├── icons/ ├── manifest.json ├── .gitignore ├── tsconfig.json ├── package.json └── README.md ``` ## Post-Scaffold Checklist After generating structure: 1. `git init && git add -A && git commit -m "Initial scaffold"` 2. Create `.gitignore` appropriate to the project type 3. Set up linting config (ESLint / Ruff) 4. Add a basic README with project name and setup instructions 5. Add a basic test file to verify the test runner works ## Asset Templates ### .gitignore (universal base) ``` node_modules/ __pycache__/ .env .env.local dist/ build/ .next/ *.pyc .DS_Store *.log coverage/ ```
