Project Initialization

Guide the user through setting up a new project from this template.

Reference files

• docs/archetypes.md — 5 product archetypes and optional modules
• RECOMMENDATIONS.md — template to fill in
• docs/examples/RECOMMENDATIONS-example.md — filled-in example for reference
• docs/project-overview.md — project definition template

Steps

1. Choose archetype — Read docs/archetypes.md and present the 5 archetypes to the user:

   • A: Chat-first Assistant
   • B: Workflow / Generation Tool
   • C: Classification / Decision Pipeline
   • D: Agentic Automation
   • E: Internal / One-off Tool

   Ask the user to pick one.

2. Select modules — Based on the chosen archetype, present the optional modules from docs/archetypes.md and ask which ones are in scope.

3. Fill RECOMMENDATIONS.md — Walk through each section of RECOMMENDATIONS.md with the user:

   • Section 1: Project Context (domain, archetype, modules, users, metrics)
   • Section 2: Locked Stack Decisions (frontend, backend, infra)
   • Section 3: Non-Negotiable Constraints (compliance, performance, cost)
   • Section 4: Deviations from template defaults
   • Section 5: Open Questions

   Use docs/examples/RECOMMENDATIONS-example.md as a reference for the expected format.

4. Fill project-overview.md — Update docs/project-overview.md with the project-specific information gathered above.

5. Update README.md — Replace the template description in README.md with the actual project name and description.

6. Update .github config — Replace YOUR_ORG/YOUR_REPO in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml with the actual repository path.

7. Summary — Show the user what was configured and suggest next steps:

   • Review filled documents
   • Create initial ADR for major stack decisions (docs/adr/)
   • Begin Phase 1 planning
