Project Scaffolding Guidelines
Initialize and configure research project repositories with complete operational infrastructure.
Core Directives
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 (delegate to
/planner).
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.
