Can I use this for Infrastructure as Code?

Yes, it includes specialized templates for Terraform (modules and environments) and Kubernetes/DevOps setups including Docker and Helm configurations.

What languages does this project scaffolding skill support?

It provides deep support and templates for Python, Node.js, Java (Maven/Gradle), Go, TypeScript, Kubernetes (Helm/Kustomize), and Terraform.

Does it handle dependency management setup?

Yes, the templates include language-specific dependency files (e.g., pyproject.toml, package-lock.json) and provide post-scaffolding commands to install them.

What is included in the post-scaffolding checklist?

The checklist covers universal tasks like Git initialization, README updates, and license addition, as well as language-specific tasks like virtual environment setup or linting verification.

How does the skill detect my project type?

The skill uses a priority-based detection matrix that scans for specific root files like package.json, go.mod, pom.xml, or requirements.txt to identify the stack.
