New Project

Create a project or experiment that agents can discover later.

Workflow

  1. Read root AGENTS.md and README.md.
  2. Decide whether the work is a long-lived project or short-lived experiment.
  3. Use a lowercase hyphenated slug. Experiments must use exp-<topic>-YYYY-MM-DD.
  4. Run the helper when possible:
python .codex/skills/new-project/scripts/new_project.py "Project Name" --summary "One-line summary"

For an experiment:

python .codex/skills/new-project/scripts/new_project.py "Experiment Name" --type experiment --summary "One-line summary"
  1. Add project-specific commands, data sources, and safety gates to the generated AGENTS.md if they matter.

Output

Report the created folder and any missing fields that need human input.
