Workflows

Workflow 1: Start New Project

  1. Choose appropriate stack based on requirements
  2. Scaffold project structure
  3. Run initial quality check
  4. Set up development environment
# 1. Scaffold project
python scripts/project_scaffolder.py nextjs my-saas-app

# 2. Navigate and install
cd my-saas-app
npm install

# 3. Configure environment
cp .env.example .env.local

# 4. Run quality check
python ../scripts/code_quality_analyzer.py .

# 5. Start development
npm run dev

Workflow 2: Audit Existing Codebase

  1. Run code quality analysis
  2. Review security findings
  3. Address critical issues first
  4. Plan improvements
# 1. Full analysis
python scripts/code_quality_analyzer.py /path/to/project --verbose

# 2. Generate detailed report
python scripts/code_quality_analyzer.py /path/to/project --json --output audit.json

# 3. Address P0 issues immediately
# 4. Create tickets for P1/P2 issues

Workflow 3: Stack Selection

Use the tech stack guide to evaluate options:

  1. SEO Required? → Next.js with SSR
  2. API-heavy backend? → Separate FastAPI or NestJS
  3. Real-time features? → Add WebSocket layer
  4. Team expertise → Match stack to team skills

See references/tech_stack_guide.md for detailed comparison.

Quick Reference

Stack Decision Matrix

| Requirement | Recommendation | |-------------|---------------| | SEO-critical site | Next.js with SSR | | Internal dashboard | React + Vite | | API-first backend | FastAPI or Fastify | | Enterprise scale | NestJS + PostgreSQL | | Rapid prototype | Next.js API routes | | Document-heavy data | MongoDB | | Complex queries | PostgreSQL |

Common Issues

| Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | N+1 queries | Use DataLoader or eager loading | | Slow builds | Check bundle size, lazy load | | Auth complexity | Use Auth.js or Clerk | | Type errors | Enable strict mode in tsconfig | | CORS issues | Configure middleware properly |


Troubleshooting

| Problem | Cause | Solution | |---------|-------|----------| | Scaffolder creates empty files | Template name misspelled or unsupported | Run python project_scaffolder.py --list-templates to verify available templates | | Quality analyzer reports 0 files analyzed | Project path points to wrong directory or contains only non-code files | Confirm the path contains .ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .py, .go, .java, .rb, .php, or .cs files outside node_modules/, .git/, dist/, and other skip directories | | False-positive hardcoded secret warnings | Regex matches long strings assigned to variables named password, secret, token, etc. | Review flagged lines manually; suppress by renaming variables or extracting values to .env files | | Cyclomatic complexity score seems inflated | Analyzer counts all decision points (if, else, for, while, &&, \|\|) across the entire file, not per function | Use the score as a relative indicator; pair with --verbose to identify specific high-complexity files for refactoring | | Dependency vulnerability check misses packages | Only a built-in subset of known CVEs is checked (lodash, axios, minimist, jsonwebtoken) | Supplement with npm audit or pip-audit for comprehensive CVE coverage | | Docker Compose fails after scaffolding | Port 5432 already in use by a local PostgreSQL instance | Stop the local instance or remap the port in docker-compose.yml | | Scaffolded Next.js project fails npm install | Node.js version below 18 or conflicting global packages | Use Node.js 18+ and run npm install in a clean shell without global next conflicts |


Success Criteria

  • Quality score >= 80/100 (Grade B or higher) on the code quality analyzer for all production codebases
  • Zero P0 (critical) security findings before merging to main branch
  • Test file ratio >= 70% of source files (estimated coverage target reported by the analyzer)
  • Average cyclomatic complexity < 15 across all analyzed files
  • No high-complexity files with nesting depth > 4 without documented justification
  • Scaffolded projects build and start successfully on first run after npm install / pip install
  • Documentation score >= 75/100 (README, LICENSE, and either CONTRIBUTING or API docs present)

Scope & Limitations

What this skill covers:

  • Project scaffolding for Next.js, FastAPI+React, MERN, and Django+React stacks with Docker, TypeScript, and environment configuration
  • Static code quality analysis including complexity metrics, security pattern detection, dependency vulnerability checks, test coverage estimation, and documentation scoring
  • Stack selection guidance via the tech stack decision matrix and reference guides
  • Fullstack architecture patterns (frontend component design, backend clean architecture, API design, caching, auth)

What this skill does NOT cover:

  • Runtime performance profiling, load testing, or APM instrumentation -- see senior-devops for observability tooling
  • Infrastructure provisioning, Terraform/Pulumi, or cloud deployment automation -- see aws-solution-architect and senior-devops
  • Comprehensive CVE scanning against live vulnerability databases -- use npm audit, pip-audit, or senior-secops for deep security analysis
  • Mobile or native desktop application scaffolding -- this skill targets web-based fullstack architectures only

Integration Points

| Skill | Integration | Data Flow | |-------|-------------|-----------| | senior-devops | CI/CD pipeline setup for scaffolded projects | Scaffolder output directory feeds into DevOps pipeline configuration and Docker deployment workflows | | senior-secops | Deep security audit after initial quality scan | Code quality analyzer P0/P1 security findings hand off to SecOps for remediation tracking and penetration testing | | senior-qa | Test strategy for scaffolded projects | Test coverage estimation from the analyzer informs QA test plan gaps; scaffolded test infrastructure provides the harness | | code-reviewer | Automated review of generated and existing code | Quality analyzer JSON report provides structured input for code review checklists and PR approval criteria | | senior-architect | Architecture validation of stack choices | Tech stack guide recommendations feed into architecture decision records; complexity metrics validate design compliance | | aws-solution-architect | Cloud deployment of scaffolded applications | Docker Compose configurations from the scaffolder translate into ECS/EKS task definitions and infrastructure blueprints |
