AI Agent Skill for Textbook Project Scaffolding

AI Agent Skill for Textbook Project Scaffolding

The AI Agent Skill for Textbook Project Scaffolding assists in planning and initializing the working directory structure for a new textbook project. It focuses on organizing the project directory before any content writing begins, facilitating a seamless transition to subsequent development stages.

What this skill does

• Engages the user in a single round of questions to gather basic project information, such as textbook name, scope (single or multiple books), location, and the need for version control.
• Proposes and confirms a directory scaffold based on the collected requirements.
• Creates the project directory, potentially including a Git repository and a README file.
• Ensures no creation or modification of pipeline files (e.g., .progress.json, chapter outlines) to maintain separation from the main textbook development process.
• Transfers control to the textbook primary workflow once the directory structure is set up.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and teams using AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to support the planning phase of textbook projects. It provides organizational benefits to authors and project managers commencing new educational resource developments.

Use cases

• An author needs to initialize a directory structure for a mathematics textbook, ensuring proper scaffolding before writing.
• A team planning a series of textbooks can set up a central workspace directory with version control for consistent and organized development.

Technical details

• Utilizes agents-md, aiapplication, and textbook-init tools to facilitate the directory setup process.
• Compatible with Git through optional repository initialization to maintain a version-controlled development environment.
