advanced_project_template is a configurable Python starter generator. It builds thin, base, or full Python workspaces from prompts, command-line flags, or a reusable YAML config.

• Thin, base, and full starter profiles
• Interactive prompts with sensible defaults, including GitHub username
• YAML config export and repeatable regeneration
• Optional docs, tests, examples, GitHub Actions, pre-commit hooks, release helpers, security policy, agent-facing context files, and rename script
• Optional packages/helpers/* workspace-style helper packages
• Generated projects use uv, Ruff, ty, basedpyright, pytest, Hatchling, and optional MkDocs Material

Create a full project interactively:

advanced_project_template new

The interactive flow uses the GitHub username and project name to derive repository placeholders, for example https://github.com/<username>/<project>.

Create a full project interactively with an explicit output directory:

advanced_project_template new my-project

Create a thin project without prompts:

advanced_project_template new my-project --profile thin --no-input

Create a base project with security and agent context files, but without the docs site:

advanced_project_template new my-project --profile base --no-input

Write a reusable config:

advanced_project_template config starter.yml --profile full
advanced_project_template config starter.yml --profile base --disable-security --enable-packages --helper-package my-helper

Generate from config:

advanced_project_template new --config starter.yml --no-input
advanced_project_template new my-project --config starter.yml --no-input

Generate with helper packages:

advanced_project_template new my-project --no-input --enable-packages --helper-package my-helper

Feature toggles are exposed as paired flags, for example:

advanced_project_template new my-project --no-input --disable-docs --enable-agent-files --enable-security

Install dependencies:

uv sync --extra dev --extra docs

Run the release-grade validation gate:

make prod

Run pre-commit checks:

make pre-commit

Update this package version:

./bump.sh 0.2.0

Then validate and build:

make prod
uv build
