Directory Management

Project Setup

Before any work begins, resolve the project name:

  1. If the project name is already known from conversation context, use it.
  2. 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.
  3. 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:

  1. Create and/or use the <experiment-name>/ directory using the confirmed name for storing all the artifacts

Directory Structure

When working with the agent, all generated files are organized under an project directory.
