Project Skill

What this does

Runs an 8-question wizard to gather project metadata, scaffolds 10-projects/<slug>/ with a populated README + empty status.md, then offers two optional integrations: (1) create a matching Notion project page (only if the Notion MCP is connected), (2) add to vault root _meta/orient.md Active projects list.

Wizard questions (ask one at a time)

1. Project name (human-readable, e.g., "Quarterly Site Redesign").
2. One-liner: what is this project? (1–2 sentences)
3. Why does it matter? (motivation; expected outcome)
4. Primary goal: one sentence — what does "done" look like?
5. Constraints / non-goals: what this is explicitly NOT doing.
6. Target completion date (ISO format YYYY-MM-DD, or "—").
7. Related area: which area in 20-areas/ does this belong to? (validate against actual folders; allow "—")
8. Key people: anyone in _meta/people.md involved? (validate; allow "—")

Steps

1. Run all 8 wizard questions in order. Store answers.
2. Slugify name → <slug>. Confirm with user.
3. Check 10-projects/<slug>/ does NOT exist. If it exists, report and stop.
4. Create 10-projects/<slug>/ directory.
5. Read templates/project-readme.md. Substitute:
   • {{date}} → today
   • {{project-slug}} → <slug>
   • {{Project Name}} → answer 1
   • ## What this is body → answer 2
   • ## Why it matters body → answer 3
   • First bullet under ## Goals → answer 4
   • ## Constraints / non-goals body → answer 5
   • Target completion: → answer 6
   • ## Related → wikilinks for answer 7 (area) and answer 8 (people), one per line
6. Write to 10-projects/<slug>/README.md.
7. Write 10-projects/<slug>/status.md (same shape as /project-scaffold step 7).
8. Notion handoff (OPTIONAL — only if the Notion MCP is connected): ask: "Create matching Notion project page? (y/n)"
   • If the Notion MCP is not connected, skip this step entirely (say so once and move to step 9).
   • On y: discover Projects database via mcp__claude_ai_Notion__notion-search (query: "projects", filter: databases). Multiple matches → list, ask user to pick. Zero matches → report and skip.
   • Show preview:

     Create in Notion → [Projects DB]:
       Name:          <project name>
       One-liner:     <answer 2>
       Target date:   <answer 6 or "—">
     Confirm? (y/n)

   • On y: call mcp__claude_ai_Notion__notion-create-pages. Paste returned URL into the README's "Related" section.
   • On n (at either confirm): skip.
9. Orient update: ask: "Add to vault _meta/orient.md under Active projects? (y/n)"
   • On y: append - **<project name>** — <answer 2> to the Active projects list. Update last-updated: frontmatter to today.
   • On n: skip.
10. Report final paths and any Notion URL.

Rules

• Never overwrite an existing folder.
• Notion is OPTIONAL — skip cleanly if the MCP isn't connected; when it is, the write confirms separately from the wizard.
• Vault orient.md update confirms separately.
• Use [[wikilinks]] for area + people in README "Related" section.
• Empty answers ("—") leave the corresponding README section as the template default — do not delete sections.
