# /rootcx:init

Create a new RootCX project.

## Usage

```bash
npx @rootcx/cli init <project-name>
```

## What it does

1. Creates a new project in your RootCX organization
2. Generates local scaffold files:
   - `manifest.json` - App metadata and data contracts
   - `App.tsx` - Main application component
   - `types/index.ts` - TypeScript types
   - `CLAUDE.md` - Development instructions
3. Creates `.rootcx/project.json` with project configuration

## Example

```bash
npx @rootcx/cli init contact-manager
```

## After Initialization

1. Edit `App.tsx` to build your app
2. Use Business Design System components
3. Run `verify_build` MCP tool to validate your code
4. Use `/rootcx:preview` to see your app live
