CWAD Lab Scaffolder
CWAD Lab Scaffolder is a professional TypeScript-based CLI tool designed to automate the initial setup of software projects. Instead of manually creating folders, configuration files, and project structure for every new project, developers can use the scaffolder to generate projects from reusable templates. The CLI provides an interactive terminal experience, validates project names using Zod, generates projects through a centralized scaffolding workflow, handles Git-related setup, installs project dependencies, and packages reusable templates with the published npm package. The application follows a modular architecture with separate commands, core generation logic, services, templates, types, terminal UI, utilities, prompts, and validation.
