New project: $ARGUMENTS
- Name. It must be kebab-case (
a-z,0-9,-). If the name is missing or invalid, ask for one. Refuse if a folder with that name already exists. - Location. You must be in the workspace root, the folder that contains this
.claude/. Otherwise, stop and say so. - Create the project:
mkdir <name> && cd <name> && git init -b main.gitignore:.claude/runs/ .claude/worktrees/ .claude/settings.local.json .DS_Store .idea/ .vscode/ *.logCLAUDE.md:# <name> Specs: docs/specs/ (start with /dev-workflow:spec-interview). Plans: docs/plans/. ## Commands <!-- Filled in by milestone M0: build, test, run. -->
- Enable the workflow plugin at project scope. This writes
<name>/.claude/settings.json, which gets committed so every clone has the plugin:
If either command fails (offline, for example), report the error and continue. The user can rerun it later.cd <name> claude plugin marketplace add cenron/claude-kit --scope project claude plugin install dev-workflow@claude-kit --scope project - Make the architect the project's default agent. Merge
"agent": "dev-workflow:architect"into<name>/.claude/settings.json, keeping the keys the plugin commands wrote. After that, a plainclaudein the project starts as the architect (Opus, high effort, with the default Claude Code prompt). - Don't commit. Tell the user to run
cd <name> && claude, then/dev-workflow:spec-interview <idea>, and later/dev-workflow:milestone M0in a fresh session.
