## What scientific-research-scaffold does, in the publisher's words

A protocol for laying out research across repositories, and scaffold, a small CLI that sets up new studies, simulators and tools in that shape and checks existing ones against it.

- The protocol: PROTOCOL.md
- Bringing an existing repo onto it: ADOPTING.md

A sim starts as a folder inside the study that needs it, and moves to its own repo when a second study uses it, it needs its own releases, or it is shared on its own. Repos are named for their subject, with no lab- or sim- prefix: the kind goes in the manifest.

Studies and sims build on four other pieces, named in a profile so the protocol itself stays generic:
