The Yeoman Scaffold Runner skill provides automated project and component scaffolding through the Yeoman ecosystem. It uses the yo CLI and yeoman-environment API to discover, install, and execute generators from the npm registry.
What this skill actually does
The skill manages generator lifecycles including prompting, file generation, conflict resolution, and installation phases. It supports sub-generator composition for adding features to existing projects, such as adding API routes, database models, or authentication modules to a previously scaffolded application.
Key capabilities include batch scaffolding across multiple generators, custom prompt answering for non-interactive execution, and integration with yeoman-assert for testing generated output. The skill handles generator versioning, allows pinning specific generator versions for reproducible scaffolding, and supports private generator registries for enterprise template management.
