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"
