What it creates

A self-contained workspace with:

• engine/, src/, vite.config.ts — the open-press framework (snapshot of @open-press/core)
• document/ — your content (populated from the chosen style pack)
• .claude/skills/ and .agents/skills/ — agent skill files for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, etc.
• openpress.config.mjs — workspace metadata (title, subtitle, organization, author)
• AGENTS.md — agent contract

After init

Workspace commands (run via npm run or node engine/cli.mjs):

npm run dev         # start workbench
npm run build       # render production output (dist-react/)
npm run preview     # preview production build
npm run openpress:validate   # structural checks
npm run openpress:pdf        # render PDF
npm run openpress:deploy:dry-run
