What linters and formatters are used?

The skill prioritizes high-performance modern tools: Oxlint and Oxfmt for TypeScript, Ruff for Python, and SwiftLint/SwiftFormat for Swift.

Can I use this on an existing project?

Yes, the skill includes a 'retrofit' mode designed to identify and add missing configurations to existing repositories while preserving your existing code.

How does the 'Ask First' workflow benefit me?

By gathering all preferences in batches before execution, the skill avoids the 'trial and error' approach, ensuring the final project structure matches your needs in a single step.

What languages does this skill support?

It currently supports TypeScript (pnpm), Python (uv), and Swift (SPM), including hybrid monorepo configurations like TS + Python or Swift + TS.

Does it set up AI instructions?

Yes, it automatically generates and configures CLAUDE.md and Cursor rules (.mdc files) to help AI assistants understand your project structure and coding standards.

Developer Tools

Initializes or retrofits projects with standardized linting, testing, and AI-ready configurations across TypeScript, Python, and Swift.

AI Project Scaffolder is a comprehensive Claude Code skill designed to automate the complex setup phase of software development. It enables developers to bootstrap new repositories or standardize existing ones using modern, high-performance tools like Oxlint, Ruff, and Vitest. By following a guided 'Ask First, Execute Once' workflow, it ensures that project structures, monorepo configurations, testing frameworks, and AI-specific metadata like CLAUDE.md are implemented correctly the first time, significantly reducing manual configuration overhead and maintaining consistency across polyglot codebases.
