# New project: a folder with a memory

A project folder on your computer, its twin repo on GitHub, and the expert skills your agent will follow.

## What your agent will do

1. Creates the project folder inside Development, with a lowercase, hyphenated name.
2. Switches Git on, hides your secrets with `.gitignore` and installs the skills it will follow.
3. Creates the private repo on GitHub and pushes the first checkpoint.

## Copy for your agent

```text
We're starting a new project. Check it's in my Development folder, that Git is on, secrets are ignored and the repo is on GitHub. Then show me the repo and explain local vs remote in two sentences.
```
