project-skeletons

Reusable project scaffolds for common languages, frameworks, and app types. Each skeleton is a minimal, realistic starting layout that can be copied into a new repository and adapted for a real project.

Usage

Copy the skeleton you want into a new project directory:

cp -R skeletons/python/fastapi my-api
cd my-api

On Windows PowerShell:

Copy-Item -Recurse skeletons\python\fastapi my-api
Set-Location my-api

Review placeholder names such as app, example, and package_name, then rename packages and modules for your project.

Generate archives

macOS/Linux:

./scripts/create-archives.sh

Windows PowerShell:

.\scripts\create-archives.ps1

Generated .zip files are written to archives/ using names like rust-single-crate.zip and python-fastapi.zip.

Contribution rules

• Keep skeletons minimal, realistic, and conventional for their ecosystem.
• Use kebab-case folder names and avoid spaces.
• Include a README.md in every skeleton.
• Track empty directories with .gitkeep.
• Do not commit generated dependency folders or build outputs.
• Do not commit secrets, tokens, credentials, private keys, or real environment files.

See docs/contributing.md, docs/naming.md, and docs/structure.md for more detail.
