-## Instant Skeletal Package from a Cookiecutter
-
-The [Molecular Sciences Software Institute (MolSSI)](http://molssi.org) provides a Computational Molecular Sciences (CMS) [cookiecutter](https://github.com/MolSSI/cookiecutter-cms)
-for users who want to have an automated fresh Python package created for them which follows the recommendations
-presented in this guide.
-A [cookiecutter](http://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io) template provides an automated way to set up files and directories inside a git repository tailored to the application of interest in a manner that already has working functionality, making it easy for the developer to dive in and start coding while adhering to best practices.
-We highly encourage people to start from this cookiecutter as it automatically creates
-the [structure], files for [continuous integration], [documentation], [distribution], [version control],
-[licensing], and others, saving 30-60 minutes of work!

-The MolSSI CMS Cookiecutter and its two-line installation instructions can be found at:
