Haskeleton is a project skeleton for Haskell packages. It's a tool,
like cabal init, for creating new packages. Unlike cabal
init, packages created by Haskeleton are fully-featured and
idiomatic. Your new package will have:
A library with its own source directory and section in the Cabal file.
An executable that depends on your library.
A comprehensive test suite including unit tests, property checks, doctests, program and documentation coverage, and code quality.
A benchmark suite for analyzing the peformance of your library.
For a more complete explanation of these features, read Haskeleton's introductory blog post. It also describes why you might want each of these things.
Haskeleton is implemented as a template for hi. To create a
new package, run hi and point it to this repository. For example:
$ hi example \
--repository git://github.com/tfausak/haskeleton.git

work with GHC 7.8 and 7.6, along with the latest version of the
Haskell platform (2014.2.0.0).
