cargo install duck-template

duck-template init
duck-template create my-app --variant cli
duck-template create-variant web

The generator reads a template descriptor (local file or remote URL) and emits the project tree from JSON. Flags are injected dynamically into template placeholders.

A template is a JSON file with this shape:

{
  "name": "my-template",
  "variants": {
    "cli":  { "files": [ ] },
    "web":  { "files": [ ] }
  },
  "flags": { "name": "string", "rust_version": "string" }
}

See public/schema.json for the full schema.
