Research direction

Start by finding the command entry point and checking how DocMaker currently creates documentation files. Use the requested docinit command as the acceptance check: it should place helptoc.md, index.md, and the other required starter files so a new project can get started.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be nice to have a docinit command that puts all files in place, helptoc.md, index.md, etc. Just to help get started
