Generates cross-language standard files (README, AGENTS.md, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, sr.yaml, .envrc, llms.txt), documentation conventions, and project structure, then dispatches to language-specific scaffolds. Use first for cross-language standard files and structure, THEN load the matching scaffold-<lang> skill (scaffold-rust, scaffold-go, scaffold-python, scaffold-node, scaffold-terraform) for CI/CD, release pipelines, and tooling. Use when creating or standardizing projects.…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Project Scaffolding ## Development Philosophy Every project should be understandable by a junior developer. Self-documenting structure. Skills as documentation. Minimal setup friction. ## Language-Specific Scaffolds After generating standard files, load the appropriate language skill for CI/CD, release, and tooling: | Language | Skill | Key Tools | |----------|-------|-----------| | Rust | `scaffold-rust` | cargo, clippy, rustfmt, cross, crates.io | | Go | `scaffold-go` | go, golangci-lint, gofmt | | Python | `scaffold-python` | uv, ruff, pytest, ty | | Node/TS | `scaffold-node` | pnpm, biome, tsc | | Terraform | `scaffold-terraform` | terraform, AWS OIDC | Always generate the standard files below first, then apply the language-specific scaffold. ## Standard Files (Every Project) | File | Purpose | |------|---------| | `README.md` | Human-facing documentation (see `write-readme`) | | `AGENTS.md` | AI-facing project context (see `configure-ai`) | | `LICENSE` | Apache-2.0 (standard for all repos) | | `CONTRIBUTING.md` | How to contribute (see template below) | | `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` | Contributor Covenant 2.1 (see `community-health`) | …

How to install
mdr add urmzd/dotfiles/scaffold-project@sha256:1e333c65bab6bd0fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.73191d5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
