Scaffold

First settle the target: a new project, or the agent added to an existing directory? For a new project, propose a name and ask the user to confirm it; for an existing one, ask for the directory.

For a new project, run:

npx eve@latest init <name>

This creates the project, installs its dependencies, and initializes Git. Since a coding agent launched init, it prints a development handoff instead of starting the interactive terminal UI.

If the user wants a reusable extension package instead of an agent, run `npx eve@latest extension init <name>` and follow that command's next steps.

For an existing app, run `npx eve@latest init` from its directory, or pass its path with `npx eve@latest init path/to/app`. This adds the agent and missing dependencies while leaving the existing Git repository and app scripts alone. Append `--model provider/model-id` or `--reasoning effort` to either init command when the user chose those settings. If init cannot be used, install by hand with `npm install eve@latest ai zod`; manual installation does not add package scripts.
