Base Project Structure

Create universal project structure that all projects need:

1. Core Directories

mkdir -p $1/{src,tests,docs,.github/workflows}
cd $1

2. Git Setup

git init

3. Base Documentation

README.md:

# $1

## Description
[Project description]

## Installation
See [Installation Guide](docs/installation.md)

## Usage
See [Usage Guide](docs/usage.md)

## Development
See [Development Guide](docs/development.md)

## License
MIT

LICENSE: Create standard MIT license file

.gitignore: Create with common patterns for all languages

4. EditorConfig

.editorconfig:

root = true

[*]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true

[*.{py,rs,go}]
indent_size = 4

[*.md]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false

5. Pre-commit Base Config

.pre-commit-config.yaml:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
    rev: v4.6.0
    hooks:
      - id: trailing-whitespace
      - id: end-of-file-fixer
      - id: check-yaml
      - id: check-json
      - id: check-merge-conflict
      - id: detect-private-key

6. GitHub Actions Base

.github/workflows/ci.yml:

name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, develop]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Run linters
        run: echo "Linting step - configure based on project type"

  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Run tests
        run: echo "Testing step - configure based on project type"

7. Makefile Base

Create universal Makefile with colored output:

.PHONY: help install test lint format clean

help:
	@echo "Available commands:"
	@echo "  make install - Install dependencies"
	@echo "  make test    - Run tests"
	@echo "  make lint    - Run linters"
	@echo "  make format  - Format code"
	@echo "  make clean   - Clean build artifacts"

install:
	@echo "Installing dependencies..."

test:
	@echo "Running tests..."

lint:
	@echo "Running linters..."

format:
	@echo "Formatting code..."

clean:
	@echo "Cleaning..."

Language-Specific Setup

Based on project type, delegate to specialized setup:

{{ if $2 == "python" }} Use SlashCommand: /setup:new-project python {{ elif $2 == "node" }} Use SlashCommand: /setup:new-project node {{ elif $2 == "rust" }} Use SlashCommand: /setup:new-project rust {{ elif $2 == "go" }} Use SlashCommand: /setup:new-project go {{ else }}

Generic project - base structure only

{{ endif }}

GitHub Repository Creation

{{ if $3 == "--github" }} Create GitHub repository:

gh repo create $1 ${4:+--private} --public --clone
git remote add origin https://github.com/$(gh api user -q .login)/$1.git

{{ endif }}

Final Steps

  1. Initialize git hooks: pre-commit install
  2. Make initial commit: Use SlashCommand: /git:smartcommit "Initial project structure"
  3. Set up CI/CD: Configure based on project type
  4. Install dependencies: Use SlashCommand: /deps:install

Next Steps Suggestions

Suggest relevant commands based on project type:

  • /test:setup - Set up testing infrastructure
  • /docs:docs - Generate documentation
  • /lint:check - Verify code quality
  • /github:quickpr - Create first PR
