Principle An empty project page should move users toward the first real outcome, not explain product features.
Design action Keep the project shell, offer create, import, template, example, and recent-resource paths; emphasize one common start action.
Examples Positive example: Project management, design tools, knowledge bases, libraries, and AI workspaces first open. Counterexample: A blank page only says no projects.
Apply when Project management, design tools, knowledge bases, libraries, and AI workspaces first open. Users need to judge state, scope, risk, or next action quickly.
