πŸ“– About This Skill

Project Setup Wizard

An interactive project scaffolding tool that generates complete, production-ready project structures for Node.js, Python, Go, and Rust with proper .gitignore, README, CI/CD configurations, and Dockerfiles.

Overview

Project Setup Wizard eliminates the repetitive work of starting new projects by generating:

  • Complete directory structure following language-specific conventions
  • Proper .gitignore tuned for the chosen language and toolchain
  • README.md with badges, installation, usage, and contribution sections
  • CI/CD configurations for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI
  • Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml with multi-stage builds
  • Linter and formatter configs (ESLint, Black, golangci-lint, rustfmt)
  • Testing setup with example tests and coverage configuration
  • License file (MIT, Apache-2.0, or GPL-3.0)
  • Editor config (.editorconfig, VS Code settings)
  • Every template follows current best practices and is immediately runnable -- just add your code.

    Installation

    Via ClawHub

    openclaw install project-setup-wizard
    

    Manual Installation

    1. Copy the skill into your OpenClaw skills directory:

    mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/
    cp -r project-setup-wizard/ ~/.openclaw/skills/
    

    2. Make the script executable:

    chmod +x ~/.openclaw/skills/project-setup-wizard/scripts/setup.sh
    

    3. Verify the installation:

    openclaw list --installed
    

    Requirements

  • bash (version 4.0 or higher)
  • git (version 2.0 or higher)
  • Optional (for language-specific validation):

  • node and npm (for Node.js projects)
  • python3 and pip (for Python projects)
  • go (for Go projects)
  • cargo (for Rust projects)
  • The wizard creates all files without requiring the language runtime, but having it installed allows post-setup validation and dependency installation.

    Usage

    Interactive Mode

    Run without arguments to use the interactive wizard:

    openclaw run project-setup-wizard
    

    The wizard prompts you for: 1. Project name 2. Language (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust) 3. Project description 4. Author name and email 5. License type 6. CI/CD provider 7. Whether to include Docker support 8. Whether to initialize a git repository

    Non-Interactive Mode

    Pass all options via command-line flags:

    openclaw run project-setup-wizard [OPTIONS]

    Options: --name Project name (required in non-interactive mode) --lang Language: nodejs, python, go, rust --description Short project description --author Author name --email Author email --license License: mit, apache2, gpl3 (default: mit) --ci CI provider: github, gitlab, circleci (default: github) --docker Include Docker files (default: on) --no-docker Disable Docker file generation --git-init Initialize git repository (default: on) --no-git-init Skip git initialization --output-dir Parent directory for the project (default: current dir) --dry-run Show what would be created without writing files --verbose Show detailed output during generation

    Direct Script Execution

    ./scripts/setup.sh --name my-api --lang python --ci github --docker

    Template Details

    .gitignore

    Each language gets a tailored .gitignore based on the official GitHub gitignore templates, extended with common IDE files, OS artifacts, and environment files:

  • Node.js: node_modules, dist, .env, coverage, .nyc_output
  • Python: __pycache__, .venv, dist, *.egg-info, .mypy_cache
  • Go: binary outputs, vendor (optional), .env
  • Rust: target/, Cargo.lock (for libraries), .env
  • All .gitignore files also include:

  • .env, .env.local, .env.*.local
  • .DS_Store, Thumbs.db
  • .idea/, .vscode/ (configurable)
  • *.log, *.tmp
  • CI/CD Configurations

    #### GitHub Actions

    The generated workflow includes:

  • Matrix testing across OS and language versions
  • Dependency caching for fast builds
  • Linting step
  • Test step with coverage reporting
  • Build/compile step
  • Docker image build (if Docker is enabled)
  • #### GitLab CI

    Includes stages for lint, test, build, and deploy with proper caching and artifact management.

    #### CircleCI

    Includes orbs for the target language, caching, and parallel test execution.

    Dockerfile

    All Dockerfiles use multi-stage builds for minimal production images:

    | Language | Build Stage | Production Base | Typical Size | |----------|------------------|-----------------|--------------| | Node.js | node:20-alpine | node:20-alpine | ~120 MB | | Python | python:3.12-slim | python:3.12-slim| ~150 MB | | Go | golang:1.22 | scratch | ~10 MB | | Rust | rust:1.76 | debian:slim | ~80 MB |

    Each Dockerfile includes:

  • Non-root user for security
  • Health check endpoint
  • Proper signal handling
  • Layer caching optimization
  • .dockerignore for build context control
  • Examples

    Create a Python API project

    openclaw run project-setup-wizard \
      --name user-api \
      --lang python \
      --description "REST API for user management" \
      --license mit \
      --ci github \
      --docker
    

    Create a Go CLI tool without Docker

    openclaw run project-setup-wizard \
      --name mytool \
      --lang go \
      --description "Command-line productivity tool" \
      --no-docker \
      --license apache2
    

    Create a Rust library

    openclaw run project-setup-wizard \
      --name fast-parser \
      --lang rust \
      --description "High-performance data parser" \
      --ci github
    

    Dry run to preview output

    openclaw run project-setup-wizard \
      --name test-project \
      --lang nodejs \
      --dry-run
    

    Output:

    [DRY RUN] Would create the following structure:

    test-project/ .github/workflows/ci.yml src/index.js src/lib/utils.js tests/index.test.js .dockerignore .editorconfig .eslintrc.json .gitignore .prettierrc Dockerfile docker-compose.yml LICENSE package.json README.md

    Extending Templates

    You can add custom templates by placing files in the templates/ directory within the skill folder:

    project-setup-wizard/
      templates/
        nodejs/
          custom-file.js.template
        python/
          custom-file.py.template
    

    Template files support variable substitution using {{VARIABLE}} syntax:

  • {{PROJECT_NAME}} -- Project name
  • {{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}} -- Description
  • {{AUTHOR_NAME}} -- Author name
  • {{AUTHOR_EMAIL}} -- Author email
  • {{LICENSE}} -- License identifier
  • {{YEAR}} -- Current year
  • {{DATE}} -- Current date (YYYY-MM-DD)
  • Troubleshooting

    "Permission denied" on script

    chmod +x scripts/setup.sh
    

    Project directory already exists

    The wizard will not overwrite existing directories. Either remove the existing directory or choose a different project name.

    Language runtime not found

    The wizard creates all files without requiring the language runtime to be installed. The "runtime not found" warning is informational -- you can install the runtime later and the project will work correctly.

    Git initialization fails

    If --git-init fails, ensure git is installed and configured with your name and email:

    git config --global user.name "Your Name"
    git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
