context-new

Create a brand new GitHub repository and set it up with AllBeads from the start.

This command provides a streamlined workflow similar to GitHub's "New Repository" form but adds:

• Automatic beads initialization
• AI agent configuration (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, etc.)
• Automatic addition to AllBeads contexts

Usage:

# Interactive mode (recommended for first-time use)
ab context new

# With arguments
ab context new myproject --private --description "My new project"

# Non-interactive mode
ab context new myproject --non-interactive --private

# Full specification
ab context new myproject \
  --private \
  --description "Project description" \
  --license MIT \
  --gitignore Rust \
  --init-agents claude,cursor

Options:

Option	Description
--description	Repository description
--private	Create as private repository
--org <ORG>	Create in an organization
--gitignore <TEMPLATE>	.gitignore template (Rust, Node, Python, Go, etc.)
--license <LICENSE>	License (MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL-3.0, etc.)
--init-agents <LIST>	Comma-separated agents to configure (default: claude)
--path <PATH>	Custom local clone path
--no-clone	Create on GitHub only, don't clone locally
--wizard	Use interactive TUI wizard
--non-interactive	Use defaults without prompts

Workflow:

1. Input Collection - Name, visibility, description via prompts or CLI args
2. GitHub Creation - Creates repository using gh CLI
3. Clone - Clones repository to local workspace
4. Beads Init - Runs bd init to set up issue tracking
5. Agent Config - Creates CLAUDE.md and other agent files
6. Git Push - Commits and pushes configuration
7. Context Add - Adds to AllBeads config

Requirements:

• GitHub CLI (gh) must be installed and authenticated
• Run gh auth login if not already authenticated
• Token needs repo scope for repository creation

Example Session:

$ ab context new
