Template project creator

Create a new, configured PARK project by running the repository's Python generator. A state-0 project is the generated baseline: it has its selected identity and license rendered, but no product-specific implementation or history unless the user asks to initialize Git.

Required decisions

Before running the generator, obtain or infer only these values:

• destination: an absolute path that does not exist or is an empty directory;
• name and concise description;
• license: mit, apache-2.0, or none.

Accept an optional GitHub owner, project slug, copyright holder, and default branch. Do not invent an owner or license. Default the branch to main only when the user has not selected another branch.

Create the project

Confirm this checkout contains scripts/create_project.py and .portable-agent-template; otherwise, explain that this is already a generated project and cannot generate another project through this skill.

Run the generator from the PARK checkout with python3 and explicit arguments:

python3 scripts/create_project.py /absolute/path/to/project \
  --name "Project Name" \
  --description "What the project does" \
  --license mit

Add --github-owner, --slug, --copyright-holder, or --default-branch only when selected. Add --init-git only when the user requests a newly initialized local Git repository. Never work around the generator's empty-target check, merge into an existing project, or delete destination contents.

Verify and hand off

Run make check in the generated directory. Report the destination, chosen configuration, whether Git was initialized, and the validation result. The new project should have no .portable-agent-template, no generator-only assets, and no product-specific code until its owner adds them.
