# 🚀 ai-md-scaffold

> **Turn AI-generated Markdown into real project files — instantly.**

`ai-md-scaffold` is a lightweight **CLI tool and Python library** that converts **AI-generated Markdown** (from ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini, etc.) into a **real project directory structure** with actual files.

No more manual copy-paste.  
No cleanup.  
No broken file paths.

---

## ✨ Why ai-md-scaffold?

AI tools are great at generating code — but terrible at delivering it in a usable format.

This tool bridges that gap.

**You give Markdown.  
It creates real files.**

---

## ✨ Features

- ✅ Convert AI Markdown into real files & folders
- ✅ **Multi-format Support**: Works with Bold titles (`**file**`) or Headers (`### file`)
- ✅ **Smart Cleanup**: Automatically removes emojis (`📁`, `📄`), numbering (`1.`), and comments
- ✅ **Auto-Deduplication**: Handles duplicate filenames by renaming them (e.g., `file_2.js`)
- ✅ Supports `.env`, `Dockerfile`, config files
- ✅ Safe overwrite handling
- ✅ Dry-run preview mode
- ✅ Works as **CLI** or **Python library**
- ✅ Zero dependencies

## 📦 Installation

```bash
pip install ai-md-scaffold

```

Verify installation:

```bash
ai-md-scaffold --version

```

---

## 🚀 Quick Start (CLI)

### 1. Default Format (Bold Titles)

Best for prompts like *"Use **path/to/file** for filenames"*.

```bash
ai-md-scaffold project.md

```

### 2. Header Format (New!)

Best for prompts like *"Use ### path/to/file for filenames"*. Handles emojis and comments automatically.

```bash
ai-md-scaffold project.md --format 2

```

### Other Options

```bash
# Overwrite existing files
ai-md-scaffold project.md --overwrite

# Preview only (no files written)
ai-md-scaffold project.md --dry-run

```

---

## 🧠 Supported Markdown Formats

`ai-md-scaffold` supports two common AI output styles.

### Format 1: Bold Titles (Default)

Matches files wrapped in bold asterisks `**...**`.

**Input Example:**

````markdown
# 📁 Project Structure

Here is the **src/main.py** file:
```python
print("Hello")

```

And here is **README.md**:
...

````

> ✅ Robust: Handles prefixes like `1. **file.js**` or `# **file.js**`

### Format 2: Header Titles (`--format 2`)
Matches files in Markdown headers (`#`, `##`, `###`).

**Input Example:**
````markdown
### 1. src/main.py
```python
print("Hello")

```

### 📄 package.json (Backend)

```json
{}

```

### 📁 src/components/App.jsx

...

````

> ✅ **Smart Parser**:
> - Ignores numbering (`1.`, `2.`)
> - Removes emojis (`📁`, `📄`)
> - Removes comments in parentheses `(Backend)`
> - Renames duplicates automatically (`App.jsx` -> `App_2.jsx`)

---

## 🤖 Recommended AI Prompt

To get perfect results, append one of these prompts to your AI request:

### Option A (For Default Format)
```text
Output code in Markdown.
IMPORTANT: Precede each code block with the filename in bold, like: **path/to/file.ext**

```

### Option B (For Header Format)

```text
Output code in Markdown.
IMPORTANT: Use headers for filenames, like: ### path/to/file.ext

```

---

## 🧩 Python Library Usage

You can use `ai-md-scaffold` as a Python module.

```python
from ai_md_scaffold import parse_markdown, generate

# Read AI-generated markdown
with open("project.md") as f:
    markdown_text = f.read()

# Parse markdown (fmt=1 for Bold, fmt=2 for Headers)
files = parse_markdown(markdown_text, fmt=2)

# Generate files
generate(files, root="my_project", overwrite=False, dry_run=False)

```

## ⚙️ CLI Options

| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--format` | `1` = Bold `**file**` (default), `2` = Headers `### file` |
| `--dry-run` | Preview files without writing |
| `--overwrite` | Overwrite existing files |
| `--no-interactive` | Disable prompts |
| `--version` | Show version |
