Project Scaffold

  • Updated April 17, 2026
  • Imit96/imit-dev-plugins

project-scaffold generates the full set of AI-agent configuration files for any full-stack project, walking through a 9-phase interview to create CLAUDE.md, rules, agents, skills, commands, and progress tracking. A developer uses it at the start of a project to stand up consistent agent tooling and best-practice coaching instead of hand-writing each config file.

Key points

  • 9-phase guided setup
  • Creates CLAUDE.md + rules + agents
  • Generates skills and commands
  • Progress tracking and coaching

What it does

Bootstrap a new full-stack project with all AI-agent config files (CLAUDE.md, rules, agents, skills, commands) via a guided 9-phase interview.

README.md

🏗️ Project Scaffold — AI Agent Config Generator

Generate all AI-agent config files for any full-stack project — in one go.

A cross-platform AI agent skill that interviews you about your project, then generates a complete set of CLAUDE.md, rules, agents, skills, commands, progress tracking, and reference docs. Every file is self-updating, every agent asks before assuming, and the system tracks what's done, what's next, and when to stop.

What It Does

Describe your project → the skill interviews you → generates everything:

.claude/
├── rules/           # code-style, testing, security, git-conventions
├── agents/          # code-reviewer, test-writer, debugger, architect
├── skills/          # new-feature, new-endpoint, new-component
└── commands/        # /new-feature, /fix-bug, /deploy-check, /status, /review
docs/agent/
├── architecture.md, database-schema.md, api-patterns.md
├── workflows.md, testing-strategy.md, deployment.md
└── progress.md      # living progress tracker
CLAUDE.md            # core memory — lean, <300 lines, self-updating

The 9 Phases

Phase What Happens
1. Discovery Interview Asks structured questions — never assumes stack or conventions
2. File Generation Creates all config files in one batch
3. Self-Updating Docs Every file has <!-- UPDATE_WHEN --> markers and changelogs
4. Sub-Agents Code-reviewer, test-writer, debugger, architect — with tool access
5. Ask-Don't-Assume Clarification protocol baked into every agent and CLAUDE.md
6. Next Step Engine Suggests 2-3 prioritized next actions after every task
7. Progress Tracking Milestones, task log, decisions, tech debt, open questions
8. Best Practices & Coaching Contextual coaching + knows when to stop
9. /status & /review Instant project health check and review checkpoints

Key Features

🎯 Interview First, Generate Second

The skill never assumes your stack. It asks tiered questions (Must Know → Should Know → Nice to Know) and blocks file generation until the essentials are gathered. If you've already described your project in conversation, it extracts what it can and confirms.

📊 Progress Tracking

A living docs/agent/progress.md tracks milestones customized to your project type:

Project Type Example Milestones
SaaS / Dashboard Auth, core API, user management, billing, testing, deploy
E-commerce Product catalog, cart, checkout, payment, order management
API-only Resource endpoints, validation, rate limiting, API docs
Content Platform CMS, media upload, publishing workflow, search
Portfolio Site Layout, content sections, contact form, SEO, analytics
Mobile Backend Auth with device management, push notifications, real-time

Updated after every task. Read at the start of every session.

💡 Best Practices Coaching

20+ contextual suggestions across Security, Performance, Quality, Reliability, and Developer Experience — each with a specific trigger condition. Maximum one per task. Always skippable.

✅ Completion Awareness

Three levels of "done":

  • Task-level → Stop, confirm, offer enhancements as options (not defaults)
  • Feature-level → Suggest review checkpoint before next feature
  • Project-level → Launch readiness summary when all milestones are complete

Anti-overbuilding rules prevent gold-plating, premature optimization, and feature creep.

🔄 Self-Updating Documents

Every generated file includes:

  • <!-- UPDATE_WHEN: condition --> markers at key decision points
  • Changelog table at the bottom
  • Instructions in CLAUDE.md for the agent to scan for affected docs after every task

Usage

Trigger Phrases

Just describe your project naturally:

"I'm building a SaaS dashboard with Next.js, Prisma, and PostgreSQL. Generate the docs."

Or be explicit:

"Use the project-scaffold skill to set up agent config."

Other triggers: "scaffold the project", "create the MD files", "set up Claude Code config", "generate the docs"

After Setup

Command What It Does
/status Project health: milestones, last task, next step, tech debt
/review Feature/milestone review checkpoint with code-reviewer agent
/new-feature Full implementation workflow with planning and testing
/fix-bug Structured debugging protocol
/deploy-check Pre-deployment verification checklist
