Create Dagster Project Skill
This skill helps users create new Dagster projects through natural language requests.
When to Use This Skill
Auto-invoke when users say:
- "create a dagster project"
- "initialize a dagster project"
- "scaffold a new dagster project"
- "start a new dagster project"
- "make a dagster project"
- "set up a dagster project"
- "create a new dagster project"
How It Works
When this skill is invoked:
- Extract the project name from the user's request (if provided)
- Invoke the underlying command:
/dg:create-project <name>
- Handle missing parameters:
- If user specified a name: use it directly
- If user said "here" or "in current directory": use
.
- If no name provided: ask the user for the project name
Example Flows
User provides a name:
User: "Create a dagster project called my-pipeline"
→ Invoke: /dg:create-project my-pipeline
User doesn't provide a name:
User: "I want to create a new dagster project"
→ Ask: "What would you like to name your Dagster project?"
→ Wait for user response
→ Invoke: /dg:create-project <user-provided-name>
User wants to create in current directory:
User: "Create a dagster project here"
→ Invoke: /dg:create-project .
User provides a path:
User: "Create a dagster project at ./my-projects/pipeline"
→ Invoke: /dg:create-project ./my-projects/pipeline
Implementation Notes
- This skill is a thin wrapper that delegates to the
/dg:create-project command
- The command file at
commands/create-project.md contains the actual execution logic
- Explicit slash command invocation still works:
/dg:create-project <name>
- Both natural language and explicit invocation are supported
Related Commands
After creating a project, users may want to:
- Use
/dg:prototype <requirements> to build their first assets
- Use
dg dev to start the Dagster UI
- Navigate to the project directory if they created it with a name
