File contents

Starting a new project — pick a template

Never start from an empty repo. Fork the template matching the project type — all three already ship CI/CD, GitHub Pages docs site, pre-commit, and release tooling, so you replace content, not plumbing.

Build target	Fork	Stack / notes
Python package / library	python-package-template	uv-based package, tests, pre-commit, semantic-release
Generative-AI project, or full-stack (backend + frontend)	generative-ai-project-template	FastAPI + NiceGUI; litellm/ollama (cloud + local LLMs); langfuse observability
Home Assistant addon	ha-addons (octo-fiesta pattern: per-addon `config.yaml`/`Dockerfile`/`run.sh`, HA Store release flow) — or fork it as the base for your own addon collection

Rules:

Match the type first (package vs gen-ai/full-stack vs addon) — don't retrofit a template.
Fork, don't clone — keep the upstream link so template improvements can be pulled in later.
After forking, make the repo self-describing: add AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md + .claude/skills/ (see repo-conventions) so any agent works in it correctly from day one.
Rebrand/rename the package per the template's own README before first use.
