Starting a kata means knowing the directory layout, the file-naming rule and the import convention. This collapses that to one command, and generates a failing test so you start red rather than staring at a blank file. Names are slugified and converted to whatever this language expects, so `mise run new roman-numerals` produces correctly-named files and identifiers.

Starting a kata currently means knowing three things before you can write a
line: which directory the solution goes in, what the test file must be called,
and how tests import solutions. This turns that into one command.
It creates the solution file and a matching test, and the generated test
fails — so you start red, which is where TDD starts, rather than at a blank
file.
Names are slugified and converted to whatever this language expects, so
roman-numeralsproduces correctly-cased filenames and identifiers.Implementation is
scripts/new-kata.sh(~30 lines) plus one[tasks.new]entry in
mise.toml. It refuses to overwrite existing files, and works bothvia
mise run new <name>and by calling the script directly.Verified: scaffolds correctly, the suite goes red with the generated test
present, and green again once it is removed.
Worth noting the cost: this is the first file in the repo whose content is
genuinely language-specific logic rather than configuration, so it is the one
piece that has to be maintained separately per starter. If that trade is not
worth it, closing this PR loses nothing else.
