Requirements

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

1. Analyze Project Type

Determine the project type from user requirements:

• FastAPI: REST APIs, microservices, async applications
• Django: Full-stack web applications, admin panels, ORM-heavy projects
• Library: Reusable packages, utilities, tools
• CLI: Command-line tools, automation scripts
• Generic: Standard Python applications

2. Initialize Project with uv

# Create new project with uv
uv init <project-name>
cd <project-name>

# Initialize git repository
