Can I use this on an existing project?

Yes, you can run the scaffold command in an existing directory; it will allow you to merge missing files, skip existing ones, or overwrite Claude-specific configurations.

How does this skill enforce the development workflow?

It utilizes hidden hooks that detect feature intent and prevent coding from starting until a corresponding user story and implementation plan have been created and approved.

What is the difference between full and minimal scaffolding?

Full scaffolding creates a complete structure including project tracking, roadmaps, and advanced skills, while minimal mode only installs essential files like CLAUDE.md and basic development workflow commands.

Where are the project tracking files stored?

All tracking data, including user stories, implementation plans, and the project roadmap, are stored within the hidden .claude/project/ directory to keep your root folder clean.
