Description

The infrastructure is in place for supporting multiple different templates when running idyll create, however we currently just have one template, basic.

It would be nice to add some preconfigured templates, for example, scrollytelling, slideshow, etc.

Research direction
Start by examining the existing basic template at packages/idyll template projects/templates/basic to understand its structure. Then review the infrastructure code that handles multiple templates, likely in packages/idyll cli or similar. Create a new template (e.g., scrollytelling) following the same pattern, ensuring it integrates with the `idyll create` command.
