This also sounds a lot like what Mozilla has done:

Would it be preferable to have this as a web-based program where you enter your data into a form and download a zip? Or would this be preferred as a
stand-alone program that generates the skeleton in a directory of your
choosing?  Or both?  It might be a little bit of a pain to maintain both,
but I can certainly go that route if need be. Either way fits my own needs.

Thank you,

Both. If you write it the correct way there should be nothing in the way of having both a web interface and a standalone cli interface.

The only difference between the two would be the UI that takes user input, and a slight backend difference in that one writes to a zip while the other writes to a directory.

That backend can be written abstractly. Such that the calls the backend uses can be applied to both the zip and directory writing.
