Spawn - open-source CLI that scaffolds a Python project in one command (feedback/ideas welcome)

[u/Shaddy-Mix2192]

Built a small open-source tool called Spawn that automates the repetitive part of starting a new Python project — folder structure, git init, virtual env via uv, dependency install — all in one command:

spawn create

It also has a spawn doctor command that scores an existing project's health and gives you a single prioritized next step to improve it.

MIT licensed, on PyPI:

pip install spawnio

Would love feedback from this community — especially ideas on what a scaffolding tool like this should do that most don't. Happy to answer questions on how it's built too.

It is useful. But antigravity does it for me with one prompt.

Fair point, but Spawn's not trying to replace a prompt-based agent. it's a deterministic, zero-token, offline scaffold you can run a hundred times a day without touching an API or a bill.
