Scaffold Exercises

Name: scaffold-exercises
Author: LoopyLuci

Create exercise directory structures that pass linting validation, then commit.

Directory naming

Sections: XX-section-name/ inside exercises/
Exercises: XX.YY-exercise-name/ inside a section
Names are dash-case (lowercase, hyphens)

Exercise variants

Each exercise needs at least one subfolder:

problem/ - student workspace with TODOs
solution/ - reference implementation
explainer/ - conceptual material, no TODOs

Required files

Each variant folder needs a non-empty readme.md with real content. If the subfolder has code, it also needs a main.ts (>1 line).

Workflow

Parse the plan - extract section names, exercise names, and variant types
Create directories with mkdir -p
Create stub readmes with title and description
Run lint to validate
Fix any errors until lint passes

Common Pitfalls

Empty readme files: Each variant folder's readme.md must have real content. An empty or near-empty readme fails linting.
Wrong directory naming convention: Sections are XX-section-name, exercises are XX.YY-exercise-name. Wrong naming fails the linter.
Not running lint after creation: Always run the linter after scaffolding. Fix errors before committing.

Verification Checklist

Section directories follow XX-section-name convention
Exercise directories follow XX.YY-exercise-name convention
Each variant folder has non-empty readme.md
Code files have main.ts if needed
Lint passes
