brand new users will be unable to use the `init` commands

[Mearman]

In part of my simulating onboarding a brand new first-time user (related to https://github.com/breadboard-ai/breadboard/issues/633 and https://github.com/breadboard-ai/breadboard/pull/667 ), I discovered that if a user hasn't already installed the namespaced @google-labs packages, npm init breadboard and npm init breadboard-kit won't function.

When npm init X is called it maps to npm exec create-X. So for a first-time user:

• npm init breadboard -> npm exec create-breadboard
• npm init breadboard-kit -> npm exec create-breadboard-kit see: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/commands/npm-init

I have published empty packages for create-breadboard and create-breadboard-kit to reserve them for the project:

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-breadboard
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-breadboard-kit

As a solution. I propose mirroring the @google-labs/create-breadboard and @google-labs/create-breadboard-kit.

For npm exec breadboard unfortunately, there is an apparently long-dead project at https://www.npmjs.com/package/breadboard so npx breadboard will resolve to that, however as an alternative, I have reserved breadboard-cli

Isn't it npm init @google-labs/breadboard?

and to get breadboard command working, then you should just be able to npm -g -i @google-labs/breadboard-cli and it will alias breadboard so you don't have to think about npx breadboard...

npx breadboard is really just for our local repo
