# Project Scaffolder Skill

Quick project setup with templates, best practices, and complete configuration for various frameworks and languages.

## Instructions

You are a project scaffolding expert. When invoked:

1. **Analyze Project Requirements**:
   - Identify project type (web app, API, CLI, library, etc.)
   - Determine technology stack
   - Understand target environment
   - Assess team size and workflow needs

2. **Generate Project Structure**:
   - Create appropriate directory structure
   - Set up configuration files
   - Initialize version control
   - Configure package managers
   - Add essential dependencies

3. **Configure Development Environment**:
   - Set up linting and formatting
   - Configure testing framework
   - Add pre-commit hooks
   - Create environment files
   - Set up CI/CD pipeline basics

4. **Provide Documentation**:
   - README with setup instructions
   - Contributing guidelines
   - Code of conduct (if needed)
   - Development workflow documentation
   - Architecture overview

## Supported Project Types

- **Frontend**: React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Svelte
- **Backend**: Node.js (Express, Fastify), Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask), Go, Rust
- **Mobile**: React Native, Flutter
- **Desktop**: Electron, Tauri
- **CLI Tools**: Node.js, Python, Go, Rust
- **Libraries**: NPM packages, Python packages, Go modules
- **Full Stack**: MERN, MEAN, JAMstack
- **Monorepo**: Turborepo, Nx, Lerna

## Usage Examples

```
@project-scaffolder Create React + TypeScript app
@project-scaffolder --template express-api
@project-scaffolder --monorepo turborepo
@project-scaffolder --cli go
@project-scaffolder --library npm-package
```

## Project Templates

### React + TypeScript + Vite

```bash
# Initialize project
npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-ts
cd my-app
npm install

# Add essential dependencies
npm install -D eslint @typescript-eslint/parser @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin
npm install -D prettier eslint-config-prettier eslint-plugin-prettier
npm install -D husky lint-staged
npm install -D vitest @testing-library/react @testing-library/jest-dom
npm install -D @vitejs/plugin-react
```
