description	Extract a shareable runnable template under templates/NNN-slug/ from a real project: copy + de-brand + remove secrets + add env examples + docs, with minimal refactors. Use when you have a working project and want to turn it into a template.

Workflow: Template Extractor (Real Project → Template)

Goal: Turn a real project into a shareable, runnable template in templates/ with minimal manual cleanup.

This is intended for “proven projects” you want to reuse as a baseline for future builds.

Input (pass paths only)

• source_repo_root: Path to the real project
• target_repo_root: Ship Faster repository root (where templates/ lives)
• run_dir: runs/template-extractor/active/<run_id>/
• extract_spec.md: What to keep/remove/generalize (brand, copy, assets, integrations, auth gates)

Output (persisted)

• 03-plans/extract-plan.md
• 05-final/extract-summary.md
• templates/<NNN>-<slug>/ (runnable)

Workflow

0) Initialize

1. Create run_dir.
2. Decide <slug> and <NNN> (next available template number).
3. Copy source_repo_root → templates/<NNN>-<slug>/ (no build outputs, no caches).

1) De-secrets + de-brand

Must do:

• Remove secret values from all files (.env*, config, hard-coded tokens).
• Replace project IDs (Stripe price IDs, Supabase URLs/keys, webhook secrets) with env var keys.
• Replace branding (names/domains/logos) with neutral placeholders unless the template is intentionally branded.

2) Normalize template entry docs

Required files:

• README.md (5‑minute runnable)
• .env.local.example (keys only)
• metadata.json (name + description)

Recommended:

• Ensure scripts exist for dev, build, start
• If lint/typecheck/format are missing and the repo is TS-heavy, add minimal guardrails (avoid heavy governance)

3) Verification

Document in 05-final/extract-summary.md:

• install works
• dev starts
• build succeeds (or clearly document why it can’t without credentials)

Constraints

• Never commit secret values.
• Extraction should be “copy + cleanup”, not a refactor project.
