# AI Project Scaffold
Turns an AI build request into a **grounded, hardened project skeleton** - but only
after the requirements are clear enough to choose a stack. The orchestrator (you)
runs the intake; the `ai-engineering` map picks the components; the `ai-engineer`
subagent does the heavy build; `agent-skills` enforce build discipline.
## Step 1 - Intake (do not skip)
This is the AI-specific extension of general elicitation. Call `interview-me` when
the idea is still vague enough that the fields below cannot be answered, and
`idea-refine` to stress-test a premise that sounds shaky. Those skills get the idea
into focus; this one carries it into a committed stack, which they do not cover.
Gather these before proposing any stack. Use `AskUserQuestion` for choices. Fill
what's inferable from the repo or context; ask only for the rest. Never fabricate a
constraint.
1. **Outcome** - what must the AI system *do*? (the job, in plain terms, and the definition of done)
2. **Surface** - CLI · backend service/API · in-app copilot/UI · batch/pipeline · MCP server.
3. **Model strategy** - local-first (Ollama / OpenAI-compatible) · cloud (Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini) · hybrid with escalation. Data sensitivity / residency constraints.
4. **Footprint & lock-in** - existing cloud/stack to fit into? Lock-in tolerance? OSS-only mandate?
5. **Layers needed** - orchestration (always) · memory? · retrieval/RAG? · ingestion (web/docs)? · tools/MCP? · frontend? · eval/observability?
6. **Scale /
