structkit now integrates with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You can scaffold entire project structures just by describing what you want to Claude. No memorizing CLI flags, no reading docs — just describe the project and it appears.
If you've ever needed to scaffold a new project — a microservice, a Terraform module, a Python package — you've likely reached for cookiecutter or copier. They've served the community well for years. But in 2025, the needs of platform engineering teams have evolved: remote content sources, AI assistants, and organization-wide consistency at scale are now table stakes.
In this post we compare three tools: cookiecutter, copier, and structkit — to help you pick the right one for your workflow.
Every engineering team eventually hits the same wall: onboarding a new service takes half a day of copying files, hunting down the right .gitignore, figuring out which CI template is current, and hoping the intern doesn't miss the security scanning step. The solution is usually a wiki page nobody reads, a "golden repo" that's three quarters out of date, or a Slack message to the platform team that disappears into the void.
structkit exists to solve this problem definitively.
SEO: terraform module template generator, infrastructure as code scaffolding
If you maintain multiple Terraform modules, you know the pain: every new module starts with copy-pasting the same main.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf, and .github/ setup. structkit lets you define that structure once in YAML and generate it consistently across your team.
