workflow-init

# workflow-init Initial setup of Vercel Workflow SDK **before** `workflow` is installed. Fetch the official getting-started guide for the user's framework. ## Decision flow ### 0) Sanity check Read `package.json`. If `workflow` is already a dependency, tell the user to use `/workflow` instead (it reads versioned docs from `node_modules/workflow/docs/`). Only continue if workflow is missing. ### 1) Determine the framework **Non-interactive:** If the user named a framework in their prompt, use it directly. **Auto-detect:** Inspect `package.json` deps and config files. Use the first match: 1. **Next.js** - `next` dep or `next.config.*` 2. **Nuxt** - `nuxt` dep or `nuxt.config.*` 3. **SvelteKit** - `@sveltejs/kit` dep or `svelte.config.*` 4. **Astro** - `astro` dep or `astro.config.*` 5. **NestJS** - `@nestjs/core` dep or `nest-cli.json` 6. **Nitro** - `nitro` dep or `nitro.config.*` 7. **Express** - `express` dep 8. **Fastify** - `fastify` dep 9. **Hono** - `hono` dep 10. **Vite** - `vite` dep (and not matched above) If no match or multiple matches, ask the user to pick. ### 2) Fetch and follow the getting-started guide Fetch **exactly one** of these URLs and follow the guide step-by-step: | Framework | URL | |-----------|-----| | Next.js | https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/next | | Express | https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/express | | Hono | https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/hono | | Fastify | https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/fastify | | NestJS | https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/nestjs | | Nitro | https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/nitro | | Nuxt | https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/nuxt | | Astro | https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/astro | | SvelteKit | https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/sveltekit | | Vite | https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/vite | Each guide covers: install deps, configure framework, create first workflow, create route handler, run + verify. ### 3) Verify setup - Start the dev server per the guide. - Trigger the example endpoint with the provided `curl`. - Confirm logs show the workflow and steps executing. - Optional: `npx workflow web` or `npx workflow inspect runs`. ### 4) No framework yet? If no framework exists, ask what the user wants: - **Web app**: Next.js / Nuxt / SvelteKit / Astro - **API server**: Express / Fastify / Hono - **Minimal server**: Nitro or Vite Then follow the "Create Your Project" section of the chosen guide. ## Concept questions (pre-install) If the user asks conceptual questions before installing, fetch: - https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/foundations/workflows-and-steps - https://workflow-sdk.dev/cookbook ## Handoff When setup is complete, tell the user: **Use `/workflow` for ongoing development** - it reads the versioned docs bundled in `node_modules/workflow/docs/`.
