-Then drop a `renovate.jsonc` into the repo root with nothing but the shared
-preset:
-
-```json
-{
-  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
-  "extends": ["local>templates/renovate"]
-}

+It creates the labels and, if the repo has no `renovate.jsonc` yet, commits one
+that is nothing but an `extends` on the shared preset in `templates/renovate`.
+Projects rendered by `newproject` already carry that file from the `infra`
+template, so for them the command only does the labels.
 
 **Extending the preset does not subscribe the repo to anything.** The bot walks
 an explicit list, so the repo also has to be added to `repositories` in
