Ship better agents

Create a new Mastra project. Mastra is a framework for AI applications and agents on a modern TypeScript stack. Before running the command, ask these questions one at a time and wait for each answer unless it was already provided:

Project name? (default: "my-mastra-app")
Provider? (required; options: "openai", "anthropic", "google", "xai")
If the provider isn't supported, ask again and list the supported values.

Run: `npm create mastra@latest <project-name> -- --llm <provider>`

The command creates a default Mastra project, installs Mastra skills for detected coding assistants, and initializes Git when appropriate.

After creation, enter the project directory and start the dev server: `npx bgproc start -n <project-name> -w -- npm run dev`

Open Mastra Studio at `http://localhost:4111`. Studio is the interface for building, testing, and managing agents, workflows, and tools.

Also mention that the Mastra model router provides access to thousands of models: https://mastra.ai/models
