Can it help me set up instructions for other AI tools?

Yes, it generates a CLAUDE.md file which is specifically designed to provide AI assistants with project-specific conventions, patterns to avoid, and tool preferences.

How does it know which tech stack I am using?

The skill scans for 'stack signals' such as package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Dockerfiles, and CI/CD workflow files to infer the language and framework automatically.

Does this skill overwrite my existing documentation?

No, the skill first scans your repository for existing files like README.md or CONTRIBUTING.md and will only generate the files that are currently missing.

What documentation standards does the skill follow?

It follows industry best practices, including the Standard Readme spec, Google's internal practices for development docs, and Michael Nygard's format for Architecture Decision Records.

Learning & Documentation

Automates the creation of standardized repository documentation including READMEs, contributing guides, and architecture records.

Repository Scaffolder is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to jumpstart project documentation by analyzing your codebase and inferring its structure. It intelligently scans for stack signals like package managers, CI/CD configurations, and existing folder structures to generate essential files like README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and DEVELOPMENT.md. By asking a few targeted questions about architecture and conventions, it can also produce Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and CLAUDE.md files for AI-assisted development, ensuring your repository follows industry best practices from day one without the manual overhead.
