Project Creation Skill

Setup

Before starting: check .handoff/sessions/ for active sessions, read context status.yaml, run git status. Follow .rules/universal.md (Plan -> Approve -> Execute).

<!-- Rules loaded from .rules/universal.md -->

Create and initialize new projects with full setup.

Commands

• /project create {team} {name} - Create a new project
• /project list {team} - List team projects
• /project status {team} {project} - Show project status

/project create {team} {name}

Required: Team name, project name (kebab-case), description, type (internal/client), tech stack, priority, git remote.

Steps

1. Validate team: ls {teams_dir}/{team}/team.yaml
2. Clone or init repo in {teams_dir}/{team}/repos/
3. Create project directory: mkdir -p {teams_dir}/{team}/projects/{name}/{plans,reviews,logs}
4. Create project YAML at {teams_dir}/{team}/projects/{name}.yaml:

   name: "{name}"
   description: "{description}"
   type: internal | client
   team: "{team}"
   workspace: "{teams_dir}/{team}/repos/{name}"
   status: new  # new | planning | active | review | complete | on_hold
   priority: medium
   created: "{today}"
   repository:
     host: gitlab.example.com
     path: "{gitlab_path}"
     active_branch: main
   deployment:
     platform: ""  # e.g., dokploy, vercel, railway
     project_id: ""
     services: []
   requirements: []
   acceptance_criteria: []
   history:
     - date: "{today}"
       action: "Project created"
       by: cto
   

5. Add to platform registry - Edit pos.yaml under teams.{team}.repos
6. Update team config - Add to active_projects in team.yaml, assign port
7. Generate PROJECT_INDEX.yaml: ./scripts/generate-project-index.sh {name} {team}
8. Optional: Create initial sprint in plans/sprints/

Status Flow

new -> planning -> active -> review -> complete
         |
       on_hold

Output

Report: project file path, repo location, GitLab URL, files created, next steps (clone repo, create sprint, start session).
