Manual Boilerplate Setup in AI

MANUAL SETUP STEPS:

1. Run framework initialization
   - npx create-next-app@latest
   - npm create vite@latest
   - rails new app_name
   - django-admin startproject

2. Install core dependencies manually
   - npm install prisma @prisma/client
   - Add essential packages you know you need

3. Set up basic folder structure
   - Create organizational folders
   - Establish naming conventions

4. Configure tools
   - TypeScript/ESLint configuration
   - Environment variables (.env.example)
   - Git setup (init, .gitignore)

5. Initial commit
   - git init
   - git add .
   - git commit -m "Initial project setup"

WHY MANUAL?
You need to understand your foundation. AI should build on solid ground that you control and comprehend. If something breaks later, you need to know how your project was set up.
