Use the appropriate CLI command based on the user's language choice. Additional packages (Crawlee, Playwright, etc.) can be installed later as needed.

### When scaffolding without the CLI, also fetch `agent-bases/{lang}.AGENTS.md`

The `apify/actor-templates` repo carries per-language guidance files (`js.AGENTS.md`, `ts.AGENTS.md`, `python.AGENTS.md`) under `agent-bases/` that all templates inherit from. `apify create` composes these into the scaffold automatically. When you bypass the CLI and fetch template files directly (via the raw GitHub URLs or the manifest's `archiveUrl`), the composition doesn't happen — so also fetch `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apify/actor-templates/master/agent-bases/{lang}.AGENTS.md` for your language and drop it into the project root alongside the template files. See the [actor-templates README](https://github.com/apify/actor-templates/blob/master/README.md) for the full convention.

## Quick start workflow

1. **Create Actor project** - Run the appropriate `apify create` command based on user's language preference (see Template selection above)
