name: cad-new-project description: "Initialize a project through deep questioning - PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, a phased ROADMAP.md and .planning/ state" argument-hint: "[--research] [--brief <file>]" allowed-tools: - Read - Write - Edit - Grep - Glob - AskUserQuestion - Task
<objective> Start a project properly: question deeply until the idea is concrete, then write PROJECT.md and REQUIREMENTS.md, derive a phased ROADMAP.md with falsifiable per-phase success criteria, and initialize .planning/ (config copied from the engine template, STATE.md cursor). Research is off by default; `--research` or config `workflow.research` enables a single research pass. `--brief <file>` reads a design brief an earlier conversation produced and questions only what it leaves open. </objective>

<process> Execute end-to-end. </process>
Appearance is cheap. Verification is the work. Cadence is for developers using Claude Code on software they will still own after the session ends. Claude can write a convincing plan, produce working code, and tell you the job is finished.
