Project Scaffolding Guidelines

Initialize and configure research project repositories with complete operational infrastructure.

Core Directives

1. Information Gathering: Learn the project title, research type (empirical, qualitative, library, mixed), collaboration team scope, data pipeline choice (dbt, DuckDB, MLflow, DVC), and publication formats. Propose sensible defaults before execution.
2. Infrastructure Rules:
   • Establish git hygiene (add appropriate .gitignore and configure pre-commit hooks).
   • Ensure raw research data directories (data/raw/) are configured as immutable.
   • Create documentation stubs and issue templates.
3. Execution: Follow the setup procedure in instructions/init to construct the repository.

Exclusions

• Do not add tools or directories unless explicitly selected by the user.
• Do not configure secrets or credentials (provide instructions instead).
• Do not create task logs, milestones, or epics (suggest the user run the /ida:strategize slash command instead).

Output Expectations

• Present the proposed repository structure and tooling selection concisely to the user.
• Once approved, execute, report successful initialization, and list next-step commands.
