Project Init

Purpose

Scaffold a complete, production-ready project folder structure with AGENTS.md, .gitignore, and docs/ skeleton. Does not write any implementation code.

The first 5 minutes of a project determine its structural quality for years. A well-organized scaffold enforces separation of concerns, establishes naming conventions, and provides a clear home for every file type. Poor scaffolding leads to entropy-driven reorganization, tech-debt accumulation, and discovery friction for new contributors. This skill produces a deliberate, intentional structure that communicates architectural decisions before a single line of business logic is written.
