Project Init Workflow

Initialize a research project as a control root, not just as two sibling repos.

Use this skill when the user wants a new ML research project where agents should work from <ProjectName>/ while paper/, code/, and optional slides/ remain independent component repositories.

Pair this skill with:

• research-project-memory to bootstrap cross-component memory
• init-latex-project to create the paper repo
• init-python-project to create the code repo
• research-slide-deck-builder to create or maintain the optional slides repo using the external progress-slides template
• new-workspace to create code experiment worktrees or paper version worktrees
• remote-project-control when code runs on SSH/HPC servers
• remote-project-control or safe-git-ops when GitHub CLI, repo remotes, or GitHub Project API operations are involved
• safe-git-ops before non-trivial Git work
