Scaffolding

Once you have generated an app, you can add additional scaffolding by executing these commands from the root of your project.

All scaffolding supports deep paths, so you could name a file foo or foo/bar/baz, which would end up as foo/bar/baz.coffee. Don't worry about the file extension, this is take care of automatically.
