create-nola-lang

Scaffolds a new Nola project:

npm create nola my-app          # or: npm create nola-lang my-app
cd my-app
npm install
npm start        # runs offline via a committed replay ledger - no API key needed

Interactively the flow asks for a name (Enter keeps the default), a template, an inference provider (nola: dev first — 25 free hosted runs, no API key required, suited for dev experiments — then OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, typesafe.ai — bracketed with the caveat that it serves literal unions and booleans only — or skip), and — once the files are written, unless --ide none — whether to install dependencies and open the project in VS Code right away (just the install when VS Code's code command is not on PATH; on the entry file — src/main.tsi, or src/main.ts for typescript-interop — whose opening comment lists the next steps: F5 to run, a breakpoint to debug, the recommended extension). The editor setup (.vscode/ with a debug config + the extension recommendation) and the coding-agent skill (.agents/skills/nola/, with .claude/skills/nola a symlink to it for Claude Code) are written without a question; --ide none and --agents none opt out, --agents claude,universal,agents-md adds AGENTS.md.

You get one template per feature — feature-extraction (the default) is one src/main.tsi with a top-level ask, function-calling the same with a call intent over an async function in src/tickets.ts, agent-loop a top-level while around an ask, typescript-interop is src/person.tsi plus a plain-TS consumer, triage-ticket the one-file shape on typesafe.ai — each with nola.config.ts and a tsconfig, and the first two and typescript-interop with a recorded replay ledger so the first run works without any API key. Every template but empty is one of the curated examples in the Nola repository, fetched at the release tag matching this package's version; empty (config, tsconfig and a stub entry) ships inside the package. npm create nola is a short alias of this package (create-nola); nola init (from the nola-lang package) lays down the same templates.
