Project Setup Wizard

An interactive project scaffolding tool that generates complete, production-ready project structures for Node.js, Python, Go, and Rust with proper .gitignore, README, CI/CD configurations, and Dockerfiles.

Overview

Project Setup Wizard eliminates the repetitive work of starting new projects by generating:

Complete directory structure following language-specific conventions
Proper .gitignore tuned for the chosen language and toolchain
README.md with badges, installation, usage, and contribution sections
CI/CD configurations for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI
Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml with multi-stage builds
Linter and formatter configs (ESLint, Black, golangci-lint, rustfmt)
Testing setup with example tests and coverage configuration
License file (MIT, Apache-2.0, or GPL-3.0)
Editor config (.editorconfig, VS Code settings)

Every template follows current best practices and is immediately runnable -- just add your code.

Installation

Via ClawHub

bash

openclaw install project-setup-wizard

Manual Installation

Copy the skill into your OpenClaw skills directory:

bash

mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/
cp -r project-setup-wizard/ ~/.openclaw/skills/

Make the script executable:

bash

chmod +x ~/.openclaw/skills/project-setup-wizard/scripts/setup.sh

Verify the installation:

bash

openclaw list --installed

Requirements

bash (version 4.0 or higher)
git (version 2.0 or higher)

Optional (for language-specific validation):

node and npm (for Node.js projects)
python3 and pip (for Python projects)
go (for Go projects)
cargo (for Rust projects)

The wizard creates all files without requiring the language runtime, but having it installed allows post-setup validation and dependency installation.

Usage

Interactive Mode

Run without arguments to use the interactive wizard:

bash

openclaw run project-setup-wizard

The wizard prompts you for:

Project name
Language (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust)
Project description
Author name and email
License type
CI/CD provider
Whether to include Docker support
Whether to initialize a git repository

Non-Interactive Mode

Pass all options via command-line flags:

bash

openclaw run project-setup-wizard [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --name <name>           Project name (required in non-interactive mode)
  --lang <language>       Language: nodejs, python, go, rust
  --description <text>    Short project description
  --author <name>         Author name
  --email <email>         Author email
  --license <type>        License: mit, apache2, gpl3 (default: mit)
  --ci <provider>         CI provider: github, gitlab, circleci (default: github)
  --docker                Include Docker files (default: on)
  --no-docker             Disable Docker file generation
  --git-init              Initialize git repository (default: on)
  --no-git-init           Skip git initialization
  --output-dir <path>     Parent directory for the project (default: current dir)
  --dry-run               Show what would be created without writing files
  --verbose               Show detailed output during generation

Template Details

.gitignore

Each language gets a tailored .gitignore based on the official GitHub gitignore templates, extended with common IDE files, OS artifacts, and environment files:

Node.js: node_modules, dist, .env, coverage, .nyc_output
Python: pycache, .venv, dist, *.egg-info, .mypy_cache
Go: binary outputs, vendor (optional), .env
Rust: target/, Cargo.lock (for libraries), .env

All .gitignore files also include:

.env, .env.local, .env.*.local
.DS_Store, Thumbs.db
.idea/, .vscode/ (configurable)
*.log, *.tmp

CI/CD Configurations

GitHub Actions

The generated workflow includes:

Matrix testing across OS and language versions
Dependency caching for fast builds
Linting step
Test step with coverage reporting
Build/compile step
Docker image build (if Docker is enabled)

GitLab CI

Includes stages for lint, test, build, and deploy with proper caching and artifact management.

CircleCI

Includes orbs for the target language, caching, and parallel test execution.

Dockerfile

All Dockerfiles use multi-stage builds for minimal production images:

Language	Build Stage	Production Base	Typical Size
Node.js	node:20-alpine	node:20-alpine	~120 MB
Python	python:3.12-slim	python:3.12-slim	~150 MB
Go	golang:1.22	scratch	~10 MB
Rust	rust:1.76	debian:slim	~80 MB

Each Dockerfile includes:

Non-root user for security
Health check endpoint
Proper signal handling
Layer caching optimization
.dockerignore for build context control

Examples

Create a Python API project

bash

openclaw run project-setup-wizard \
  --name user-api \
  --lang python \
  --description "REST API for user management" \
  --license mit \
  --ci github \
  --docker

Create a Go CLI tool without Docker

bash

openclaw run project-setup-wizard \
  --name mytool \
  --lang go \
  --description "Command-line productivity tool" \
  --no-docker \
  --license apache2

Create a Rust library

bash

openclaw run project-setup-wizard \
  --name fast-parser \
  --lang rust \
  --description "High-performance data parser" \
  --ci github

Dry run to preview output

bash

openclaw run project-setup-wizard \
  --name test-project \
  --lang nodejs \
  --dry-run

  Project Setup Wizard v1.0.0

  ? Project name: my-awesome-app
  ? Language: Python
  ? Description: A web application for task management
  ? Author: Jane Developer
  ? Email: jane@example.com
  ? License: MIT
  ? CI/CD provider: GitHub Actions
  ? Include Docker support? Yes
  ? Initialize git repository? Yes

  Creating project structure...

  Created: my-awesome-app/
  Created: my-awesome-app/.github/workflows/ci.yml
  Created: my-awesome-app/src/my_awesome_app/__init__.py
  Created: my-awesome-app/src/my_awesome_app/main.py
  ...
  Created: my-awesome-app/README.md

  Done! 16 files created in my-awesome-app/

  Next steps:
    cd my-awesome-app
    python -m venv .venv
    source .venv/bin/activate
    pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
    python -m pytest

Extending Templates

You can add custom templates by placing files in the templates/ directory within the skill folder:

text

project-setup-wizard/
  templates/
    nodejs/
      custom-file.js.template
    python/
      custom-file.py.template

Template files support variable substitution using {{VARIABLE}} syntax:

{{PROJECT_NAME}} -- Project name
{{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}} -- Description
{{AUTHOR_NAME}} -- Author name
{{AUTHOR_EMAIL}} -- Author email
{{LICENSE}} -- License identifier
{{YEAR}} -- Current year
{{DATE}} -- Current date (YYYY-MM-DD)

Troubleshooting

"Permission denied" on script

bash

chmod +x scripts/setup.sh

Project directory already exists

The wizard will not overwrite existing directories. Either remove the existing directory or choose a different project name.

Language runtime not found

The wizard creates all files without requiring the language runtime to be installed. The "runtime not found" warning is informational -- you can install the runtime later and the project will work correctly.

Git initialization fails

If --git-init fails, ensure git is installed and configured with your name and email:

bash

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
