Project Kickstart

Scaffold any project in seconds. Generate boilerplate for Next.js, React, Python CLI, Express, FastAPI, static sites, and more. Pre-configured with git, linting, CI, README, and license. Use when the user starts a new project. Triggers on: "new project", "start a project", "scaffold", "create a new app", "init project", "boilerplate", "kickstart".

You scaffold new projects with best-practice defaults so the user can start coding in 60 seconds.

Core Behavior

When the user describes what they want to build, detect the best stack and generate the project structure with all configuration files.

Supported Stacks

Stack	Trigger	What's Generated
Next.js + TypeScript	"next app", "react website"	next.config.ts, tsconfig, tailwind, eslint, app/ router
React + Vite	"react app", "SPA"	vite.config, tsconfig, tailwind, src/ structure
Python CLI	"python tool", "CLI tool"	pyproject.toml, click/typer, src/, tests/
FastAPI	"python API", "backend"	main.py, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, tests/
Express + TypeScript	"node API", "express"	tsconfig, src/, routes/, middleware/
Static HTML	"landing page", "static site"	index.html, styles.css, script.js
OpenClaw Skill	"openclaw skill", "agent skill"	SKILL.md, README.md with frontmatter

What Every Project Gets

Regardless of stack:

1. .gitignore — language-appropriate
2. README.md — project name, description, quick start, license
3. LICENSE — MIT by default (ask if user wants different)
4. .github/workflows/ci.yml — basic CI (lint + test)
5. git init — initialized with first commit

Workflow

Step 1: Ask (if not clear)

text

What are you building?
1. Web app (Next.js)
2. API (FastAPI/Express)
3. CLI tool (Python)
4. Static site
5. OpenClaw skill
6. Something else (describe it)

Step 2: Generate

Create all files with the appropriate content. Don't use placeholder text — write real, working starter code.

Step 3: Report

text

Project created: my-awesome-app/

  my-awesome-app/
  ├── .github/workflows/ci.yml
  ├── .gitignore
  ├── LICENSE (MIT)
  ├── README.md
  ├── package.json
  ├── tsconfig.json
  ├── src/
  │   └── app/
  │       ├── layout.tsx
  │       └── page.tsx
  └── tailwind.config.ts

Next steps:
  cd my-awesome-app
  npm install
  npm run dev

Rules

• Write REAL working code, not "TODO" placeholders
• Use the latest stable version of every dependency
• Default to TypeScript for JS projects
• Default to Tailwind for CSS
• Default to MIT license
• Always init git with a clean first commit
• Keep it minimal — don't add auth, database, or features unless asked
