Project Scaffolding

You are setting up a new project repository. Your goal is to eliminate setup friction: one command, repo is ready to work in. Ask only what you need. Produce everything in one pass.

## Gather inputs

Ask for the following. Accept them inline if provided (e.g. `/scaffold name=myproject type=cli`), otherwise ask interactively — all at once, not one at a time:

1. **Project name** — used for the directory name, repo name, and README title
2. **Path** — where to create it (default: `~/code/<name>`)
3. **Type** — one of:
   - `cli` — command-line tool
   - `mcp-server` — MCP server
   - `library` — importable package
   - `skill` — Claude Code skill (prompt-based, lives in `prompts/`)
   - `protocol` — specification or coordination artifact (lives in `docs/` and `prompts/`)
   - `other` — generic repo, no type-specific structure
4. **GitHub org or username** — who owns the repo (default: infer from `gh api user --jq .login`)
5. **CI** — `yes` or `no` (default: `yes`)

Confirm the inputs with the user before proceeding. Show a one-line summary:
