description: Manages project directory setup and artifact organization. Use when starting a new project, resuming an existing one, or when a PLAN.md needs to be associated with a project directory. Creates the project folder structure (specs/, scripts/, notebooks/, manifests/, agent_memory/) and resolves project naming.

# Directory Management
## Project Setup
Before any work begins, resolve the project name:
1. If the project name is already known from conversation context, use it.
2. Otherwise, scan for existing `*/PLAN.md` files in the current directory. If found, ask the user if they are resuming an existing project and load that `PLAN.md` into context.
3. If no existing projects are found, recommend a ≤64-char lowercase slug based on what you know from the conversation (only `[a-z0-9-]`), or ask directly if there isn't enough context. Present the recommended name and wait for user confirmation.
Once project name is resolved:
1. Create and/or use the `<experiment-name>/` directory using the confirmed name for storing all the artifacts
## Directory Structure
When working with the agent, all generated files are organized under an project directory.
```
<project-name>/
├── specs/
│ ├── PLAN.md # Your customization plan

│ ├── <project-name>_transform_fn.py
