Research direction
No file or test is named; start by reading the existing try command entry point and how it handles the configured tries directory and command arguments. Compare that flow with the requested laravel new sequence, including prompting for a dated directory name, letting Laravel create it, and entering the resulting project; done means this works for Laravel and similar directory-creating CLI tools.

Description
Hello,
Thank you for the fantastic work on this, I love it.
Just one thing, sometimes I like to experiment with Laravel, but Laravel's installer makes its own directory:
$ laravel new test
The above command makes a new test directory in the current working directory.
It would be amazing if try could handle this scenario, something like try laravel new that would get the directory name ready (don't create the directory, as Laravel creates it) and then run laravel new $directory.
It would essentally need to do this:
- Ask for the name of the new directory, dated: e.g.
2025-11-25-test cdinto the configured tries directory: e.g.cd ~/src/tries- Pass the directory name through to the command line tool: e.g.
laravel new 2025-11-25-test cdinto the newly installed Laravel project:cd ~/src/tries/2025-11-25-test
I'm using Laravel's installer as an example here, but this could theoretically work with any command line tool which creates its own directory. Great for one-line commands that install frameworks or starter kits for projects!
