Initialize Project

Fill in all

[FILL:]

placeholders across the template to set up a new research project.

Steps

Scan all tracked files for

[FILL:

patterns and group them by file:

grep -rn "\[FILL:" --include="*.md" --include="*.qmd" --include="*.toml" --include="*.tex" --include="*.yml" .

Report how many placeholders exist and in which files.

Ask the user for project information:
- Project title (used in
```
index.qmd
```
  ,
```
README.md
```
  ,
```
CLAUDE.md
```
  ,
```
pyproject.toml
```
  )
- Subtitle (optional, for
```
index.qmd
```
  )
- Authors — for each author:
  - Name, affiliation (university, city, country), ORCID, email
  - Whether they are the corresponding author
- Abstract (for
```
index.qmd
```
  )
- Keywords (for
```
index.qmd
```
  )
- Project stage (for
```
CLAUDE.md
```
  : Idea / Data collection / Analysis / Writing / Revision)
- Data source description (for
```
CLAUDE.md
```
  and
```
README.md
```
  )
- Repository URL (for
```
README.md
```
  )
- Project slug (for
```
pyproject.toml
```
```
name
```
  field, e.g.,
```
regional-gdp-study
```
  )
Apply the values to each file:
- index.qmd
  — title, subtitle, authors (full YAML array with affiliations/ORCID/email), abstract, keywords
- README.md
  — project title, description paragraph, data section, repository URL, Quick Start clone URL
- CLAUDE.md
  — Project Context table: title, authors, stage, data source
- pyproject.toml
  —
```
name
```
  ,
```
description
```
  ,
```
authors
```
- _quarto.yml
  — no
```
[FILL:]
```
  placeholders by default, but verify
- templates/chadManuscript/manuscript.tex
  — author names and keywords

After applying all values, re-scan for remaining

[FILL:]

placeholders:

grep -rn "\[FILL:" --include="*.md" --include="*.qmd" --include="*.toml" --include="*.tex" --include="*.yml" .

Report how many remain and where (some are expected in section bodies like "Describe the data...").

Run
```
bash scripts/render.sh
```
to regenerate
```
latex/index.tex
```
with the real content.
Report a summary: files updated, placeholders filled, placeholders remaining, render status.
