Scaffolding & Automated Delivery

Script your common dev/release tasks, then combine AI to generate and maintain scaffolding. It cuts repetitive work dramatically.

Generating CLI / Script Skeletons

Generate a bash script `scripts/check.sh`:
- Run lint, typecheck, test in sequence
- Exit immediately on any failure and print the error
- Print elapsed time at the end

Have AI give you the structure first, then swap in your project-specific commands.

Code Templates & Scaffolding

• Have AI generate templates for "new page / component / endpoint" (including tests, styles, types).
• Put templates in scripts/generate-* and wire them up with npm run for quick creation.

CI/CD Integration

• Ask AI for CI config snippets (e.g. GitHub Actions) covering caching, parallelism, and failure strategies.
• Have it write "manual fallback steps" -- like a pre-release verification checklist.

Keeping Scripts Maintainable

• Have AI add comments and usage docs inside scripts to avoid "black box" tooling.
• Centralize important commands in package.json scripts or a Makefile for consistent access.

Exercise

Ask AI to generate a "new API module" scaffold for your project: controller / service / dto / tests / README. Then have it output a single npm command that generates the entire skeleton.
