/ new-project

Create a new project with context, configuration, and issue tracking scope.

The /new-project command creates a new project in your workspace. It sets up the project context file, configures the active projects filter, and establishes the scope for issue tracking.

Usage

agent chat 
/new-project
agent chat 
create a new project for the mobile app redesign

The command is interactive. FlyDocs prompts you for the project name, description, and scope.

What Happens

  1. Project entry created: Registers the project in your workspace (cloud portal or local config)
  2. Context generated: Creates an initial project.md template with sections for scope, tech stack, conventions, and priorities
  3. Config updated: Adds the project reference to .flydocs/config.json so issue queries and session context are scoped to the new project
  4. Ready to capture: You can immediately start creating issues with /capture and they route to the new project

When to Use It

  • Starting a brand new product or initiative
  • Splitting a large project into separate tracked efforts
  • Setting up a workspace for a new client or team

Difference from /onboard

/new-project creates a project from scratch. /onboard generates FlyDocs context for an existing project that already has code, issues, or history. Use /new-project when nothing exists yet; use /onboard when the project is already underway and needs FlyDocs context added.
