Scaffold Templates

Defines production-ready templates for different tech stacks and architectural patterns.

EXECUTION INSTRUCTIONS

When this skill is invoked, Claude MUST:

1. Receive stack info from calling command (framework, httpClient, dataFetching)
2. Match to template based on stack
3. Return template definition with file structures and code patterns

Template Registry

Template: react-query-fsd

Best for: React + TypeScript + React Query v5 + Medium-Large apps

Stack Match:

• framework: react
• dataFetching: @tanstack/react-query or react-query
• language: typescript

Template: fetch-minimal

Best for: Simple projects, vanilla JS/TS, learning

Stack Match:

• Any framework
• No specific httpClient
• projectSize: minimal

Structure:

src/
└── api/
    ├── fetcher.ts
    ├── types.ts
    └── endpoints.ts

Template: swr-nextjs

Best for: Next.js + SWR

Stack Match:

• framework: next
• dataFetching: swr

Structure:

src/
└── lib/
    └── api/
        ├── fetcher.ts
        └── {domain}/
            ├── api.ts
            └── hooks.ts

Template Selection Algorithm

INPUT: { framework, httpClient, dataFetching, language, projectSize }

1. If dataFetching === 'react-query' AND framework === 'react':
   - If projectSize > 20 endpoints → 'react-query-fsd'
   - Else → 'react-query-flat'

2. If dataFetching === 'swr' AND framework === 'next':
   → 'swr-nextjs'

3. If httpClient === 'axios':
   → 'axios-service'

4. Fallback:
   → 'fetch-minimal'
