Set Up a New Project

Take an empty directory to a project that runs with mise dev. Scaffolding, configuration, and tooling only — do not write application source code.

Where the standards live

The normative rules are in the standards repository, The-Focus-AI/standards: STD-004 (tooling and tasks), STD-007 (secrets), and STD-011 (skills). The walkthroughs are best-practices/GDE-006-local-environment.md (mise + fnox + pi), best-practices/GDE-003-fnox-secrets.md (the full secrets reference), best-practices/GDE-008-skills.md (the locked skill set), and best-practices/GDE-007-pi-extensions.md. If you are running inside that repo, read them directly. If not, and you have gh access, fetch them. If neither, the sequence below is the minimum bar — say in your summary that you worked without the full standards.

There is a bootstrap script for the mechanical parts: ./scripts/setup-default-project.sh ../my-project.
