New Project Skill

Create a new project subfolder under the Vibe Coding root with proper initialisation for git and Claude Code.

Usage

Copy/newproject <folder-name>

Examples:

• /newproject MyNewApp
• /newproject Budget_Tracker
• /newproject "Project With Spaces"

What This Skill Does

When invoked, perform the following steps:

1. Validate Input

• Check that a folder name was provided as an argument
• If no argument provided, ask: "What would you like to name the new project folder?"
• Validate the folder name doesn't already exist

2. Create Folder Structure

Create the following structure under e:\Vibe Coding\<folder-name>\:

Copy<folder-name>/
├── .claude/
│   └── settings.local.json
├── CLAUDE.md
└── .gitignore

3. Initialise Git

Copycd "e:/Vibe Coding/<folder-name>"
git init

4. Create CLAUDE.md

Create a project-specific CLAUDE.md with this template:

Copy# CLAUDE.md - <folder-name>

This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with this project.

8. Update Root CLAUDE.md

Add the new project to the Projects Overview table in e:\Vibe Coding\CLAUDE.md.

9. Confirm Completion

Report back:

• Folder created at: e:\Vibe Coding\<folder-name>
• Git initialised: Yes
• Files created: CLAUDE.md, .gitignore, .claude/settings.local.json
• Next steps: Describe what you want to build and I'll help you get started

Notes

• The new project inherits root-level skills (/q, /challenge, /verify)
• No remote repository is created automatically — use GitHub CLI or web to create and link if needed
• Folder names with spaces should be quoted: /newproject "My Project"
