I'm surprised there aren't more tools out there for starting a new project with some default config files. There's `cargo new` but it's Rust specific and very minimal. create-react-app is React specific. The only option I know of is cookiecutter. Surely it's a common problem?

I'm adding uptime data to my personal LLM bot. Does this information belong in the system prompt? That was my initial plan, but I'm thinking that a tool would be better. Tools let me see information provenance ("queried the uptime tool"). There's also a small caching benefit.

In many respects I feel an LLM benefits from a monorepo. I've vibe coded a bunch of helper CLIs recently and end up repeating the same preferences for all of them. I want all my CLIs to use clippy, parse arguments with clap, etc. They're distinct tools in distinct repos though.
