Scaffold a new project with a complete, production-ready structure.

Steps

1. Determine the project type from the argument:
   • api - REST/GraphQL API backend.
   • web - Frontend web application.
   • cli - Command-line tool.
   • lib - Reusable library/package.
   • fullstack - Full-stack application.
2. Select the tech stack based on preferences or defaults:
   • TypeScript: Express/Fastify, React/Next.js, Vitest.
   • Python: FastAPI/Django, pytest.
   • Go: Chi/Gin, standard testing.
   • Rust: Actix/Axum, cargo test.
3. Generate the project structure:
   • src/ with entry point and initial modules.
   • tests/ with test configuration and example tests.
   • Configuration files (tsconfig, eslint, prettier, etc.).
   • Dockerfile and .dockerignore.
   • CI/CD workflow (GitHub Actions).
   • README.md with setup instructions.
   • .env.example with documented variables.
   • .gitignore with comprehensive patterns.
4. Initialize package manager and install dependencies.
5. Initialize git repository with initial commit.
6. Verify the project builds and tests pass.

Format

Project scaffolded: <name>
Type: <project-type>
Stack: <tech-stack>

Structure:
  src/          - Application source
  tests/        - Test suite
  .github/      - CI/CD workflows
  docker/       - Container configuration

Commands:
  dev:   <command>
  test:  <command>
  build: <command>

Rules

• Every scaffold must include a working test and build pipeline from the start.
• Include health check endpoint for API projects.
• Add pre-commit hooks for linting and formatting.
• Use the latest stable versions of all dependencies.
• Generate a CLAUDE.md with project-specific memory from the start.
