Moonrepo Create Project

Overview

Use this skill when adding a new app/package/service to an existing moon workspace and you need consistent placement, task wiring, and post-create validation.

When to Use

New project scaffold in a mono-repo.
Standardizing creation steps across maintainers.
Reducing onboarding mistakes in task/dependency config.

Creation Workflow

Choose location + id conventions
- Place app/package in repository convention (apps/, packages/, etc.).
- Choose stable project id used by moon config.
Scaffold project files
```
mkdir -p apps/new-app
```
(Use framework generator as needed, then align with workspace conventions.)
Register moon project config
- Add project config (moon.yml/workspace config according to repo convention).
- Define baseline targets: lint, test, build (as applicable).
Wire dependencies
- Declare upstream project dependencies explicitly.
- Ensure task deps reflect real build/test ordering.

Validate immediately

moon query projects
moon query tasks new-app
moon run new-app:lint
moon run new-app:test

Pitfalls and Recovery

Project not discovered: verify config path/naming and rerun moon query projects.
Target missing: confirm target key exists in project task config.
Unexpected fan-out: inspect dependency edges and remove accidental broad deps.
CI-only failure: compare local/CI env inputs in task definitions.

Caveats

Do not copy task config from unrelated project without pruning stale dependencies.
Validate each target right after creation; delayed validation compounds setup mistakes.
