research-init

separate

Scaffold a new research project with full reproducibility infrastructure in R and/or Python. Creates directory structure, pipeline stubs (targets/Snakemake), environment lockfiles (renv/uv), documentation templates (codebook, decision log, pre-registration, Cornell README), Quarto manuscript template, and proper .gitignore. Can wrap existing data in gold-standard structure. Use when the user says "new project," "scaffold," "start a study," "set up a project," "I have data and need to organize it," or when /research-intake recommends scaffolding.

When to use

• new project
