New Project
Create a project or experiment that agents can discover later.
Workflow
- Read root
AGENTS.md and README.md.
- Decide whether the work is a long-lived
project or short-lived experiment.
- Use a lowercase hyphenated slug. Experiments must use
exp-<topic>-YYYY-MM-DD.
- Run the helper when possible:
python .codex/skills/new-project/scripts/new_project.py "Project Name" --summary "One-line summary"
For an experiment:
python .codex/skills/new-project/scripts/new_project.py "Experiment Name" --type experiment --summary "One-line summary"
- Add project-specific commands, data sources, and safety gates to the generated
AGENTS.md if they matter.
Output
Report the created folder and any missing fields that need human input.
