start-new-project

Recipe for starting a project from an empty directory - clarify the goal and constraints with minimal questions, choose the stack from sensible defaults, scaffold, set up lint, format, type-check, and tests, add a CI baseline, handle environment variables and secrets safely, write a repo notes file for future sessions, build a first vertical slice, define done, and deliberately defer everything else. Names the skills to apply at each step, the exit check, and what to hand forward. Load when asked to create, scaffold, bootstrap, or start a new application, service, library, or tool.
