Directory Management

This handles the tedious part of starting or resuming a Claude project by creating a consistent folder structure (specs, scripts, notebooks, manifests, agent_memory) and resolving what to call everything. It checks for existing PLAN.md files first so you don't accidentally create duplicates, then either uses context from your conversation or asks you to confirm a slugified project name. The structure is opinionated but sensible, keeping generated code separate from plans and using agent_memory for session notes that stay out of git. It's the kind of thing you'd otherwise copy-paste from project to project or forget to do until you have files scattered everywhere.

Project Setup

Before any work begins, resolve the project name:

If the project name is already known from conversation context, use it.
Otherwise, scan for existing */PLAN.md files in the current directory. If found, ask the user if they are resuming an existing project and load that PLAN.md into context.
If no existing projects are found, recommend a ≤64-char lowercase slug based on what you know from the conversation (only [a-z0-9-]), or ask directly if there isn't enough context. Present the recommended name and wait for user confirmation.

Once project name is resolved:
