A .prj file is just a text file. To create it you could:

- Use the CleanIDE to create an example .prj file.
   Remove everything after the line OtherModules.
   To use this file to compile another module, you copy it
   and change the name of the main module (MainModule/Main)
   and name of the executable (Global/Exec).
   You can make a small Clean program to do this.

- The CleanIDE adds default values for fields that
   are missing from a .prj file. The following .prj file
   (module_name.prj) is sufficient to compile a module module_name:

Version: 1.4
Global
	Target:	StdEnv
	Exec:	{Project}\module_name.exe
	Paths
		Path:	{Project}
MainModule
	Name:	module_name

So instead you can write a Clean program that writes such a .prj file.
Note that a .prj file uses tab characters at the beginning of a line.
Do not use spaces (except if a path contains spaces).

Kind regards,
