create_coding_project — Claude Code prompt: what it does
Transforms a rough software concept into a scaffolded codebase with directory trees and automated setup scripts.
.claude/commands/create_coding_project.mdWhat create_coding_project does
This prompt takes a project idea and formats the response into strict sections. It distills the concept into a single 20-word sentence and outlines a step-by-step roadmap capped at 16 words per item.
The instructions enforce a full directory layout alongside commented code for every file. A shell script in the SETUP section automates the creation of folders and starter files. Chatty disclaimers are banned by design.
What it helps with
- scaffold a complete application layout from a concept
- generate a shell script to create all project folders and files
- write starter code with step-by-step comments for each component
- draft a numbered implementation plan with strict word caps
Example prompts for the agent
- Design a CLI tool that parses and validates JSON schema files
- Build a scaffold for an event-driven Go service reading Kafka queues
- Create starter code for a desktop timer app with SQLite storage
