Thanks, some comments:

The prompt needs a colon.

This needs to be run in the project's root directory
where the dir-locals file is saved.  Probably it's not easy
to find the root without using project.el.  But when one of the
files already exists (either .dir-locals.el or .dir-locals-2.el),
then better to use the directory of the existing file by default.
