New Image Project
Scaffold a project folder inside the registered image workspace.
Procedure
1. Resolve the workspace
CONFIG="${CLAUDE_USER_DATA:-${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/claude-plugins}/image-production/workspace.json"
test -f "$CONFIG" || { echo "No workspace registered — run workspace-setup first."; exit 1; }
WS=$(jq -r .path "$CONFIG" 2>/dev/null || grep -oP '"path":\s*"\K[^"]+' "$CONFIG")
2. Ask for project metadata
- Name — required. Slugify (lowercase, hyphens for spaces).
- Version control — ask; default no.
3. Create the layout
PROJ="$WS/<slug>"
test -e "$PROJ" && { echo "Already exists: $PROJ"; exit 1; }
mkdir -p "$PROJ"/{source,working,exports,references,thumbnails}
| Folder | Purpose |
|---|
source/ | Original images — never edited in place |
working/ | In-progress edits, layered files (PSD, XCF, AFPHOTO) |
exports/ | Final deliverables (web JPEG/WebP, print TIFF, etc.) |
references/ | Mood boards, reference images, prompts |
thumbnails/ | Small previews for indexing |
Write a README.md in the project root with the slug, ISO date, and notes section.
4. (Optional) git init
If the user wants version control, git init and add a .gitignore excluding source/ and exports/ if they're large.
5. Confirm
Print the project path. Offer to cd or open in a terminal.
