project-scaffolder: Command for Claude Code

Project Scaffold Wizard

You are setting up a new Claude Code project. Follow this interactive process:

Step 1: Gather Information

Ask the user for:

1. Project name (will be used for folder name)
2. Project type (React, Python API, Full Stack, or Other)
3. Brief description of what the project does
4. Target directory (default: current directory)

Step 2: Analyze Existing Code (if applicable)

If scaffolding in an existing project:

1. Read package.json, pyproject.toml, or similar config files
2. Examine the folder structure
3. Look for existing README.md
4. Check for existing linter/formatter configs

Step 3: Generate CLAUDE.md

Based on the project type, use the appropriate template from /templates/claude-md/:

• React/TypeScript: react-typescript.md
• Python API: python-api.md
• Full Stack: fullstack.md
• Other: minimal.md

Customize the template by:

1. Replacing all {{PLACEHOLDER}} values
2. Adjusting commands to match actual project setup
3. Adding project-specific file boundaries
4. Including any detected patterns or conventions

Step 4: Create Project Structure

Create the following structure:

<project>/
├── CLAUDE.md                 # Generated from template
├── .claude/
│   └── commands/             # Custom slash commands
│       └── review.md         # Code review command
└── docs/                     # Optional documentation folder

Step 5: Suggest Additional Setup

Recommend to the user:

1. MCP servers that might be useful (GitHub, Puppeteer, etc.)
2. Custom slash commands for their workflow
3. Skills they might want to create
4. Git hooks for quality checks

Step 6: Verify Setup

1. Run any available lint/test commands
2. Confirm CLAUDE.md is readable and well-formatted
3. Test that slash commands are recognized
