boilerplate:
  definition: >-
    Typically, the term `boilerplate` refers to generic code that is often used
    when creating projects. Here, we use the term to decribe "boilerplate
    configurations", which consist of all of the necessary files required to
    initialize a complete project. Boilerplates can be used by
    [generators](#generator) to create new projects.
