Project Creator

What it does

The Project Creator skill helps AI agents generate and maintain project documentation within a .project/ folder. It facilitates the creation of essential files like project overviews, technical specifications, architecture diagrams, and user stories, streamlining initial project setup and accelerating development workflows. The skill guides users through a structured process to create these documents based on templates and reference materials.

When to use it

• When starting a new software project and needing to establish foundational documentation.
• To generate or update the .project/ directory's contents, including overviews, specifications, architecture diagrams, and user stories.
• During project planning phases when defining user stories is required.

Key capabilities

• Generates project documentation files within a .project/ folder.
• Utilizes templates from an assets/ folder for creating documents like "about," "specs," "architecture," "context," and individual user stories.
• Provides reference guides in the references/ folder to guide content creation with questions and criteria.
• Follows a structured workflow: loads guides, assesses existing documents, creates/updates using templates, interviews users, drafts content, presents for feedback, iterates, and progresses through dependent documentation files (about -> specs -> architecture -> project-context -> stories).

Example prompts

• "Create the initial project structure with all default .project/ files."
• "Generate a draft of the 'specs.md' document based on the available template and guide."
• "Help me plan out user stories for this project, starting with a master list in stories/stories.md."

Tips & gotchas

• The skill follows a specific workflow; understanding this sequence (load guide -> assess existing -> create/update -> interview -> draft -> feedback -> iterate) is crucial for effective use.
• Documentation dependencies exist: the order of creation is suggested as about -> specs -> architecture -> project-context -> stories.
