# Express Prisma Scaffold

Delegates to sub-skills — only the needed sub-skill loads per task.

## Preflight (run before every task)

1. Load `references/project.config.md` — ask user to fill any blank values
2. Check language: if not set, ask "TypeScript or JavaScript?"
3. Print confirmation:
```
✅ Preflight
config: loaded | language: TS/JS | path: {api_src_path} | skill: {sub-skill}
```
Do not generate files before printing this.

## Sub-Skill Router

| Task | Load |
|---|---|
| Create/scaffold module, CRUD, controller, service | `skills/module-scaffold/SKILL.md` ⚠️ has own preflight: schema validation gate if Prisma model is new |
| Prisma setup, migrations, schema, seed, pagination, soft delete | `skills/prisma-database/SKILL.md` |
| Unit tests, test cases, review tests, missing tests, vitest setup | `skills/testing/SKILL.md` |
| Project setup, initial structure, scaffold new API app | `skills/project-setup/SKILL.md` ⚠️ has own preflight: monorepo check, app name, TS config, linter |

Always load `references/conventions.md` alongside the sub-skill.

## Auto-trigger Testing

When `module-scaffold` finishes generating a module → automatically trigger
`skills/testing/SKILL.md` to scaffold the `__tests__/` folder skeleton.

## Resume

User says "resume [task] for [resource]" → check existing files → generate only missing ones.

## Adding Sub-Skills

1. Create `skills/{name}/SKILL.md` + `skills/{name}/references/`
2. Add row to router table above
3. Bump version
