Create New Project

Usage

When user wants to create a new Rails project:

• "help me create a new Rails project"
• "I want to start a new Rails project"
• "/new"

Process Steps

0. Ask Project Type and Requirement

Before doing anything, call ask_user with a structured prompt. Use the following as a guide:

zh:

{
  "question": "请选择项目类型，并用一句话描述你想做什么：",
  "context": "开始新项目前需要知道项目类型和需求，请先完成填写。",
  "options": ["⚡ Demo — 无数据库，AI 自由发挥，快速原型", "🏗️ Production — 真实应用，可部署，完整 Rails 配置"]
}

en:

{
  "question": "Choose a project type and describe what you want to build in one sentence:",
  "context": "Tell us what kind of project to create so we can get started.",
  "options": ["⚡ Demo — no database, AI builds freely, quick prototype", "🏗️ Production — real app, ready to deploy, full Rails setup"]
}

Based on user's choice:

• If Demo: do NOT follow the Rails setup steps below. Instead, freely build a simple HTML/CSS/JS (or React) prototype directly in the working directory based on their requirement. Use your creativity.
• If Production: continue with steps 1–3 below (full Rails flow).

1. Check Directory Before Starting

Before running the setup script, check if current directory is empty:

• Use glob tool to check if directory has files: glob("*", base_path: ".")
• If directory is NOT empty, ask user for confirmation: "Current directory is not empty. Continue anyway? (y/n)"
• If user declines, abort and suggest creating project in an empty directory

2. Run Setup Script

Execute the create_rails_project.sh script (see Supporting Files below) in current directory. Use the exact absolute path shown in the Supporting Files section:

<absolute path to create_rails_project.sh from Supporting Files>

The script will automatically:

Step 1: Clone Template

• Clone rails-template-7x-starter to a temporary directory
• Move all files to current directory
• Delete template's .git directory
• Initialize new git repository with initial commit
