Description

Unless I'm not thinking of something, shouldn't it be possible to clone a new plugin project from this repo using composer's create-project command, just like we do with the full Cake "app" Skeleton?

If we do that, we could move the composer scripts in Console/ into their own composer package, and re-use them in our app skeleton and this plugin skeleton in order to do template replacement for both.

That would also help solve loadsys/CakePHP-Skeleton#72 pretty nicely, I think.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the composer scripts in Console/ and comparing how composer create-project is used with the full Cake app Skeleton. Define whether this plugin skeleton can be created that way and whether those scripts should move into a reusable composer package. Done means the approach, package boundaries, and user instructions are agreed and documented.
