```

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the `choco new` entry point and trace how it creates LICENSE.txt and VERIFICATION.txt. Confirm whether the proposed Markdown templates fit the existing package layout and locate any related tests. Done means `choco new` generates the two requested `.md` files with the agreed review and verification content.
