I have built a woodworking shed with wall cladding on the outer wall (TP20 cladding). Now it's just a matter of putting cladding on the front and installing the door, and it's done.
From what I understand, the door frame should be "flush" with the outer side of the wall cladding so you can install door moldings over the frame and the cladding?
Since the frame and the wall opening are also flush, the cladding will not come closer to the door frame than about 6 centimeters. I asked ChatGPT AI, which suggested having the cladding about 10mm from the door frame, but that's not possible since the wall opening's studs are flush with the frame, so the cladding can't come closer until it hits the wall opening's studs?
Additionally, should I place the door frame directly on the wooden floor (with insulation underneath) or should I have some kind of spacers under the frame?

An image would have helped. But, a door should align with the interior wall so that you can put trim there. But perhaps it's not so precise now. You should align with the stud the frame is screwed into. I assume the stud in turn aligns with the wall you screw the sheet into, but between the studs and the sheet, do you have a screw stud?
That is, you need to extend the frame with the same depth as the screw stud and sheet extend from the frame. It's usually a strip that you nail into the frame and the stud the frame is in, or only into the frame. You then nail the trim onto this strip.
Under the threshold, you should have sill paper and possibly a threshold plate.
