# Scaffold Exercises

Create exercise directory structures with sections, problems, solutions, and explainers that pass linting.

## Directory naming

- Sections: XX-section-name/ inside exercises/

- Exercises: XX.YY-exercise-name/ inside a section

## Exercise variants

- problem/ — student workspace with TODOs

- solution/ — reference implementation

- explainer/ — conceptual material

## Required files

Each subfolder needs a readme.md that is non-empty with no broken links.

## Workflow

1. Parse the plan

2. Create directories

3. Create stub readmes

4. Run lint

5. Fix any errors
