# New-project

## What it does
Name the project. Get the folder tree, your templates and a memory file, set up and ready to work. It stands up the folder tree, your templates and a memory file in one move, so a job is ready to work in minutes. Point it at the right parent folder first.

## When to use
- Copying last project’s folders.
- Whenever you would otherwise do this by hand.

## Instructions
1. Give the skill: A project name and the basics.
2. Use this as the core instruction (edit the [bracketed] parts):

   > Set up a new project called [name]: the standard folder tree, our brief and register templates, and a memory file capturing [client, site, key dates].

3. Return: A ready project skeleton.

## Output
A ready project skeleton.

## The one mistake to avoid
Point it at the right parent folder before it writes anything.
