This step creates a real project so you can verify the generated structure.

​
Create a new Act

From the directory where you want your project: 
uvx --from act-operator act new
Act Operator will prompt for a project name, an initial Cast name, and other metadata. It then generates a structured Act project with a starter Cast.

​
Enter the project

cd <your-project>

​
Install dependencies

uv sync

​
Orient yourself

  • Read README.md for project-specific instructions
  • Open CLAUDE.md for architecture context and AI collaboration guidance
  • Find your initial Cast under casts/ and start adding graph logic there
At this point, you have a working Act project with an initial Cast.
