nonslop

AI-native project scaffolding.

The idea

The new way to bootstrap projects is skills. Instead of language-specific scaffolding tools, you start with a skills-ready project and compose what you need. Skills are universal -- they work across any project, any language, and any AI coding agent.

Quick start

uvx nonslop create-project my-project

Creates a new my-project/ directory in the current working directory, pre-wired with skill infrastructure. Two skills are preinstalled:

• ns-skill-management -- manage persistent skills with npx skills
• ns-skillx -- invoke any skill ephemerally from a GitHub repo, like npx for skills

Example: creating a Python project

From your new project, invoke skillx to scaffold a Python package:

In Claude Code:

/ns-skillx nseng-ai/nonslop --skill ns-create-pypackage-project

In Codex:

$ns-skillx nseng-ai/nonslop --skill ns-create-pypackage-project

The skill is fetched, executed, and discarded -- your project gets the Python scaffolding without permanently installing anything.

What you get

After create-project, your project has:

my-project/
├── .agents/skills/         # installed skills (universal agent directory)
├── .claude/                # Claude Code config + skill symlinks
├── AGENTS.md               # project instructions for agents
├── CLAUDE.md               # project instructions
├── nonslop.json            # agents this project targets
├── skills-lock.json        # installed skill metadata
└── .gitignore
