Description

A common development pattern for solving my-thing is to create drv/my-thing-api and a drv/my-thing-server directories with the associated Rust boilerplate as well as a idl/my-thing.idol for the IDL. Currently this is a manual, error-prone (copy pasta) process.

Research direction

Start by locating the repository's xtask entry point and inspect existing drv/my-thing-api, drv/my-thing-server, and idl/my-thing.idol layouts. Define done as an xtask command that generates the associated Rust boilerplate and IDL structure for a named my-thing without manual copy-paste.
