What happens to the Git history of the template?

The skill performs a Git reset, removing the original .git history and initializing a brand new repository so your project starts at version 0.1.0 without baggage.

Does this skill delete my existing files?

No, the skill is designed to create a new project directory based on a template structure, ensuring your original template remains intact while your new project starts fresh.

Does it support Docker configuration?

Yes, during the interactive setup, the skill asks if Docker support is required and can include relevant Dockerfiles or Compose files in the initialization process.

Can I customize the interactive configuration prompts?

Yes, while it comes with defaults like Project Name and License type, the skill can be extended to ask for specific framework versions or cloud provider preferences.
