Instructions

  1. Project Analysis and Setup

    • Parse the project type and framework from arguments: $ARGUMENTS
    • If no arguments provided, analyze current directory and ask user for project type and framework
    • Create project directory structure if needed
    • Validate that the chosen framework is appropriate for the project type
  2. Base Project Structure

    • Create essential directories (src/, tests/, docs/, etc.)
    • Initialize git repository with proper .gitignore for the project type
    • Create README.md with project description and setup instructions
    • Set up proper file structure based on project type and framework
  3. Framework-Specific Configuration

    • Web/React: Set up React with TypeScript, Vite/Next.js, ESLint, Prettier
    • Web/Vue: Configure Vue 3 with TypeScript, Vite, ESLint, Prettier
    • Web/Angular: Set up Angular CLI project with TypeScript and testing
    • API/Express: Create Express.js server with TypeScript, middleware, and routing
    • API/FastAPI: Set up FastAPI with Python, Pydantic models, and async support
    • Mobile/React Native: Configure React Native with navigation and development tools
    • Desktop/Electron: Set up Electron with renderer and main process structure
    • CLI/Node: Create Node.js CLI with commander.js and proper packaging
    • Library/NPM: Set up library with TypeScript, rollup/webpack, and publishing config
  4. Development Environment Setup

    • Configure package manager (npm, yarn, pnpm) with proper package.json
    • Set up TypeScript configuration with strict mode and path mapping
    • Configure linting with ESLint and language-specific rules
    • Set up code formatting with Prettier and pre-commit hooks
    • Add EditorConfig for consistent coding standards
  5. Testing Infrastructure

    • Install and configure testing framework (Jest, Vitest, Pytest, etc.)
    • Set up test directory structure and example tests
    • Configure code coverage reporting
    • Add testing scripts to package.json/makefile
  6. Build and Development Tools

    • Configure build system (Vite, webpack, rollup, etc.)
    • Set up development server with hot reloading
    • Configure environment variable management
    • Add build optimization and bundling

  9. Security and Best Practices

    • Configure security scanning with npm audit or similar
    • Set up dependency vulnerability checking
    • Add security headers for web applications
    • Configure environment-specific security settings
  10. Project Validation

    • Verify all dependencies install correctly
    • Run initial build to ensure configuration is working
