## Description

Scaffold a new design-product project that matches the recommended Claude Code layout (the reference structure). Use when starting a fresh product/app that will be built with this design system.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

> **Step 0: is the kit here?** This skill reads files from the kit. Check once:
> `ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING`
> On `KIT_MISSING` only the skill folders were installed, which is what
> `npx skills add` does. Say so plainly, point the user at
> `npx ux-ui-agent-skills init` or the plugin install, and stop. Do not guess the
> contents of a file you could not open.

Generate a new design-project skeleton from `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../templates/product-design/` into a target directory the user names.

The layout to produce (exactly the reference structure):

```
<target>/
  # CONTEXT CLAUDE LOADS
  CLAUDE.md              the brief Claude reads every session
  CLAUDE.local.md        your personal prefs, gitignored
  .mcp.json              Figma, Notion, Drive connections

  # TEAM TOOLKIT
  .claude/
    rules/               conventions, loaded only when relevant
    skills/              repeatable workflows, off main context
    commands/            your custom slash commands
    settings.json        shared permissions, checked into git

  # YOUR PROJECT
  design-tokens.json     source of truth: color, type, spacing
  src/components/        the real UI Claude reads and edits
  public/images/         real images so prototypes don't break
  reference/             real screens Claude studies for context
```

The fast path, when the kit is installed or reachable via npx:

```
npx ux-ui-agent-skills new <target>
```

That does steps 2 and 3 below in one call (template copied, `CLAUDE.local.md`
un-suffixed, engine areas installed without overwriting the lean brief). Then pick
up at step 4. The manual steps are spelled out so the same result can be produced
by hand from a clone.
