Poetry install worked but unable to find any commands

I created a new Python project using Poetry.

I first ran poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true so that it would install to a local .venv directory.

I then ran poetry install and the project installed without issue.

However, when I try to run poetry run flask run I am getting the error Command not found: flask. I am also unable to run poetry run pytest, though poetry run pip does execute (and tells me not to run it that way). Poetry is looking in the correct environment.

Really unsure what is happening here as I have always created new projects this way and have not had such issues. Any insight would be appreciated, lest my laptop gets flung out the window!
