Subject: [PATCH] Remove placeholder template files from installer

Workshop feedback: 00-*.md files were confusing and ignored by users.

Changes:
- Remove createFolderGuides() and createProjectInfoFile() methods
- Folders still created but empty (only .gitkeep)
- Agents will create files dynamically during workflows
- Cleaner, less confusing user experience
