# Create New AI Sandbox Project
Create a new project named `$ARGUMENTS.name` in the ai-sandbox monorepo.
## Steps
1. **Validate the project name**
- Ensure the name is kebab-case (lowercase with hyphens)
- Check that a project with this name doesn't already exist in `~/Code/ai-sandbox/apps/`
2. **Copy the template**
```bash
cp -r ~/Code/ai-sandbox/apps/_template ~/Code/ai-sandbox/apps/$ARGUMENTS.name
```
3. **Update package.json**
- Change the `name` field from `_template` to `$ARGUMENTS.name`
4. **Install dependencies**
```bash
cd ~/Code/ai-sandbox && pnpm install
```
5. **Build the shared packages** (if not already built)
```bash
cd ~/Code/ai-sandbox && pnpm build --filter=@ai-sandbox/ai --filter=@ai-sandbox/ui
```
6. **Report success**
- Tell the user the project is ready
- Remind them to:
- Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and add their API keys
- Run `pnpm dev --filter=$ARGUMENTS.name` to start the dev server
## Notes
- The new project will have access to all shared packages (`@ai-sandbox/ai`, `@ai-sandbox/ui`)
- The default page includes a chat interface connected to GPT-4o
- To change the model, edit `src/app/api/chat/route.ts`
