+# create-nola-lang
+
+Scaffolds a new [Nola](https://github.com/nola-lang/nola) project:
+
+```bash
+npm create nola-lang my-app
+cd my-app
+npm install
+npm start        # runs offline via a committed replay ledger - no API key needed
+```
+
+You get a typed extraction example (`src/person.tsi` + a plain-TS consumer),
+`nola.config.ts`, tsconfig, and a recorded replay ledger so the first run
+works without any API key. `nola init` (from the `nola-lang` package) lays
+down the same starter.

+# __NAME__
+
+A [Nola](https://github.com/nola-lang/nola) project. Nola is a TypeScript
+superset (`.tsi`) where `infer` functions and `ask` extractors turn prompts
+into typed values.
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm start        # runs src/main.ts — works offline, no API key needed
+npm run check    # type-checks the .tsi and .ts files together
+npm run build    # compiles to plain JS + d.ts in dist/
+```
+
+The starter runs offline: `nola.config.ts` replays answers from the committed
+`nola.replay.jsonl` ledger. The ledger is keyed by the exact prompt, so once
+you edit `src/person.tsi` or add your own asks, switch the config to a real
+provider (see the comment in `nola.config.ts`) and set `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
