🌩️ Rapid Create
Rapid Create lets you build complex folder and file structures from a single line of text — directly inside VS Code.
No wizards, no clicking through dialogs. Just type a script like this:
/project/ < [
/src/ < [
index.html,
/css/style.css,
/js/app.js
],
README.md
]
and Rapid Create will instantly generate that full structure in your workspace.
✨ Features
🧠 One console for everything
Run, save, and reuse scripts directly from the Rapid Console command.
⚡ Nested creation
Build whole projects with recursive folder trees using the < [ ... ] syntax.
💾 Template saving
Save any script as a reusable template — then execute it later with a shortcut.
🧱 Simple, readable syntax
No JSON or YAML — just an intuitive “file map” you type once and reuse.
🚀 Usage
1. Open the Rapid Console
Right-click any folder in the Explorer → Rapid: Console
or open the Command Palette → Rapid: Console.
A single input box will appear — that’s your playground.
2. Create files and folders
Type a quick script:
/main/ < [index.html, /css/style.css, /js/script.js]
This will create:
main/
index.html
css/style.css
js/script.js
You can nest < [ ... ] blocks as deep as you like.
3. Save reusable templates
Save a template by typing:
@web: /src/ < [index.html, /css/style.css, /js/app.js]
You’ll see:
Template "web" saved.
4. Run saved templates
Later, just type:
!web
and the saved template executes instantly.

💡 Inspiration
Rapid Create grew from the idea that file scaffolding shouldn’t require a generator or wizard — just a fast, expressive syntax that you can type as easily as you think.
