Scaffold a new Rust+Node.js hybrid monorepo with pnpm workspaces, Cargo workspace, CI workflows, and publish infrastructure. Use when: (1) starting a new project from scratch, (2) adding missing infrastructure to an existing repo, (3) figuring out the canonical project structure for a Rust+Node.js tool. Triggers on "bootstrap", "scaffold", "new project", "set up project", or "init" in a Rust+Node.js context.

Rust+Node.js Bootstrap

Scaffold a Rust+Node.js hybrid project with all infrastructure in one pass.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when any of the following are true:

User says "bootstrap", "scaffold", "new project", "set up from scratch"
Repo has
```
Cargo.toml
```
or
```
package.json
```
but is missing the other

Missing

.github/workflows/

,

scripts/

, or

publish.config.ts

Incrementally adding forge infrastructure to an existing project

Decision Tree

Starting from scratch?
  YES → Full scaffold (all steps in order below)
  NO  → Incremental setup ↓

Has package.json?       → NO: Create root package.json + pnpm-workspace.yaml
Has Cargo.toml?         → NO: Create Cargo workspace
Has .github/workflows/? → NO: Generate from rust-node-ci skill templates
Has scripts/?           → NO: Generate from rust-npm-publish skill templates
Has publish.config.ts?  → NO: Create from rust-npm-publish skill examples
Has specs/?             → NO: Initialize LeanSpec

Gather Project Info

Field	Example	Required
Project name	`my-tool`	Yes
npm scope	`@myorg`	Yes
Rust binary name(s)	`my-cli`	Yes
Cargo package name(s)	`my-cli-rs`	Yes
Main npm packages	`packages/cli`	Yes
Repository URL	`github.com/myorg/my-tool`	Yes
Platforms	`darwin-x64, darwin-arm64, linux-x64, windows-x64`	No (default: all 4)

Scaffold Structure

See references/project-structure.md for the full annotated tree.

my-tool/
├── .github/workflows/       ← CI + publish workflows
├── .lean-spec/config.json   ← LeanSpec configuration
├── specs/                   ← Spec-driven development
├── packages/cli/            ← Main npm package (thin JS wrapper)
│   ├── package.json         ← bin + optionalDependencies
│   └── bin.js               ← Resolves platform binary, spawns it
├── rust/                    ← Rust workspace
├── scripts/                 ← Publish & version scripts
├── publish.config.ts        ← Publish pipeline configuration
├── package.json             ← Root (version source of truth)
├── pnpm-workspace.yaml      ← pnpm workspace definition
└── Cargo.toml               ← Rust workspace manifest

File Generation Order

Order matters — later files depend on earlier ones:

Root configs —

package.json

,

pnpm-workspace.yaml

,

Cargo.toml

,

turbo.json

Use templates/bootstrap/.

Publish config —
```
publish.config.ts
```
(drives script + workflow generation)
Main package wrapper —
```
bin.js
```
+
```
package.json
```
from rust-npm-publish skill templates, fill in scope/binary name/platforms
Scripts — Copy from rust-npm-publish skill templates
Workflows — Copy from rust-node-ci skill templates, customize matrix
LeanSpec — Initialize
```
.lean-spec/config.json
```
and
```
specs/
```

Verify

bash

pnpm install && pnpm build && cargo check --workspace && pnpm tsx scripts/sync-versions.ts

See references/checklist.md for the full post-bootstrap checklist.

Install Companion Skills

After scaffolding, install skills for ongoing development:

bash

# CI/CD workflows and composite actions
npx skills add -g onsager-ai/dev-skills --skill rust-node-ci -a claude-code -y

# npm publishing pipeline and versioning
npx skills add -g onsager-ai/dev-skills --skill rust-npm-publish -a claude-code -y

Templates

Directory	Contents
templates/bootstrap/	Root configs: `package.json` , `Cargo.toml` , `pnpm-workspace.yaml` , `turbo.json` , `publish.config.ts`

Setup & Activation

bash

npx skills add -g onsager-ai/dev-skills --skill rust-node-bootstrap -a claude-code -y

Auto-activates when: user says "bootstrap", "scaffold", "new project", or "init" in a Rust+Node.js context.
