Ferroforge

Ferroforge is a Rust project-scaffolding tool and the planned replacement or evolution of the existing scaffold kit.

It focuses on the project shapes and defaults that are used repeatedly rather than trying to become a universal template system.

Repeated project setup creates small but persistent friction. Ferroforge turns those recurring choices into tested, reproducible templates.

It can eventually integrate with Ferrule so a newly scaffolded project can be initialized and checkpointed through the same visible workflow.

Ferroforge scaffolds new Rust projects with preferred defaults for Cargo configuration, source layout, documentation, formatting, linting, testing, and optional Git initialization.

• Rust CLI.
• Rust library.
• Rust workspace.

• Cargo.toml.
• src/main.rs or src/lib.rs as appropriate.
• README.md.
• .gitignore.
• rustfmt.toml.
• Clippy and test workflow notes.

• Scaffold a Rust CLI project.
• Scaffold a Rust library project.
• Scaffold a basic workspace.
• Confirm that generated projects build successfully.
• Include the preferred defaults in generated projects.
• Document the available templates.
• Support optional Git initialization.

• A large template catalog.
• Web application scaffolding.
• A complex interactive wizard.
• A remote template registry.
• A plugin system.
• Support for every possible project type.

Document what the current scaffold kit does, then build the smallest Rust CLI that replaces its most-used path.
