• An OpenAI API key

Installation & Usage

Option 1: Install as a package (recommended)

Install Scaffold-AI globally using pip:

pip install scaffold-ai

Set your OpenAI API key and run the CLI:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=<api_key> && scaffold-ai

Option 2: Build and run from source

Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/vjtvalero/scaffold-ai.git

It is recommended to use a virtual environment for dependency management. You can use either uv or Python's built-in venv:

Using uv:

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Or using venv:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Install the required Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

or if you used uv:

uv add -r requirements.txt

Set your OpenAI API key and run the CLI:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=<api_key> && py src/scaffold-ai/main.py

Follow the prompts to scaffold your new project.
