Use Sunrise to start a new “empty” Urbit app project. Import the repo, then simply rename all text and files from sunrise to whatever your new agent's name will be. Run ./rename.sh new-name to replace all instances of sunrise with new-name throughout.
Sunrise is modestly opinionated but generally straightforward. If you are interested in having the ++abet nested-core pattern in your agent, see Moonrise.
