Prompt 05: Start a new project (the right way)

Module 01 · Set Up Your Command Center · The Prompts Pack

Paste below into Claude Code whenever you spin up a brand-new project, so it joins the Command Center from minute one instead of becoming an orphan you forget about. Replace <projects-root> with your real path.

The prompt to paste

Click the box to select it, then press ⌘C (or Ctrl+C)
I am starting a new project. Set it up so it is part of my Command Center from the start. My command center is at `<projects-root>/command-center/`.

1. Ask me the new project's folder name and one-line purpose. Create the folder under my projects root if it does not exist.

2. Create a starter `CLAUDE.md` in it: the project name, the one-line purpose I gave you, and any obvious conventions (tech stack, platform) you can infer or that I tell you.

3. Run `command-center/bin/cc-register.sh "<new-project-path>"`. That appends the Command Center block to its CLAUDE.md, adds it to `PROJECTS.md`, and creates today's log file.

4. Fix the new `PROJECTS.md` row: set the correct Type, Purpose, and Status. Do not leave `[confirm]` placeholders.

5. If it is a code project, `git init` it and add a sensible `.gitignore`. Do not commit.

6. If there is already a workstream for it, add a row to `command-center/STATE.md`.

Show me the new project's tree and its `PROJECTS.md` row when done.
