Project Setup Skill

This skill helps set up new projects with a standard structure and configuration.

What to do when this skill is invoked:

1. •

   Ask the user for project details:

   • •Project name
   • •Project type (Node.js, Python, web app, etc.)
   • •Whether they want git initialized
   • •Any specific dependencies or frameworks they want included
2. •

   Create the project directory:

   • •Create a folder with the project name
   • •Navigate into that directory
3. •

   Initialize version control (if requested):

   • •Run git init
   • •Create a standard .gitignore file appropriate for the project type
   • •Create an initial commit with message "Initial commit"
4. •

   Create standard project files:

   • •README.md with project name and basic structure
   • •LICENSE file (ask user which license, default to MIT)
   • •.gitignore (appropriate for project type)
5. •

   Initialize the project (based on type):

   • •For Node.js: Run npm init -y and install any requested packages
   • •For Python: Create requirements.txt and/or setup.py
   • •For other types: Create appropriate configuration files
6. •

   Create a basic folder structure:

   • •src/ (for source code)
   • •tests/ (for test files)
   • •docs/ (for documentation)
   • •Any other folders relevant to the project type
7. •

   Confirm with the user:

   • •Show what was created
   • •Ask if they want any additional setup

Example README.md template:

# [Project Name]

## Description

[Brief description of what this project does]

## Installation

[Installation instructions]

## Usage

[Usage instructions]

## License

[License type]

Common .gitignore patterns:

Node.js

node_modules/
npm-debug.log
.env
dist/
build/

Python

__pycache__/
*.py[cod]
venv/
.env
*.egg-info/

Notes:

• •Always ask before creating files
• •Be respectful of existing files - don't overwrite without permission
• •Tailor the structure to the specific project type
