Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. for me as a dev, it'd be great to have a kit new --ui-only (or --add-ui or something similar), to just copy over the template files, if i have devved out a process that i want to begin writing an interface for. might also consider writing the rust-facing stuff (methods normally bundled with the chat backend) in a lib_ui.rs (or similar) file next to lib.rs

Describe the solution you'd like A flag for new to copy just the UI template.

Describe alternatives you've considered newing up a template and copying over the relevant code by hand. Yawn!

I want to think about what behavior would be unsurprising here. One possible behavior I can imagine based on what you say here is kit n foo --ui-only does:

foo/ exists? foo/ui/ exists? Behavior
yes yes error out w/ message
yes no mkdir foo/ui/
no no mkdir -p foo/ui/

The strange thing here is that normally kit n foo when foo/ already exists causes an error out w/ message.

Also, what if I run kit n ui --ui-only. Does that mean I want to add a dir ui/ui/ or a dir ui/?

@0x70b1a5 Could you clarify what you mean wrt the lib_ui.rs? Both in general and wrt this issue?
