Problem

Developers repeatedly create the same numbered workspace structures and nested directories manually, wasting time and increasing inconsistency across projects.

Solution

Scaffix provides an interactive CLI workflow that generates numbered folder structures with optional zero-padding, custom subdirectories, previews, confirmations, progress tracking, and safe rerun support.

Design

The CLI experience focuses on simplicity and readability with colored terminal output, tree-style previews, clear prompts, and minimal friction during setup.

Architecture

Built as a Python package with modular CLI architecture, Rich-powered terminal UI, semantic-release automation, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and PyPI publishing support.

Challenges
  • Designing a smooth interactive flow while keeping commands beginner-friendly.
  • Making folder generation idempotent to prevent rerun failures.
  • Handling filesystem errors gracefully without stopping the entire generation process.
  • Creating readable preview structures for large folder ranges.
Results
  • Published on PyPI with automated semantic versioning.
  • Supports scalable workspace generation for developers and students.
  • Improved repetitive project setup workflows significantly.
  • Built with CI/CD automation and release publishing pipelines.
