    "incantation": "When creating a project through the Node.js Automation API, call the generated interface’s `new()` method with `PulumiNewOptions`; pass a template name or URL as the optional second argument. The method invokes `pulumi new` with `--yes` and maps supplied options to CLI flags.",

      "templateOrUrl: Template name or URL passed as the command argument after flags.",
      "options.name: Project name; if omitted, `pulumi new` prompts for it.",
      "options.language: Language to use for Pulumi AI; documented values: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, C#, Java, or YAML.",
      "options.dir: Directory for the generated project; defaults to the current directory.",
      "options.stack: Existing stack or stack to create; if omitted, `pulumi new` prompts for it.",

      "options.secretsProvider: Provider for encrypting and decrypting secrets; documented values: default, passphrase, awskms, azurekeyvault, gcpkms, hashivault."
