Start: Agent Kit Entry Point

This skill is the entry point when working with the Agent Kit template. It guides you to create a new project or open an existing one.

When This Skill Runs

You are in the upstream template (lucidlabs-agent-kit/). This is NOT where development happens. You need to either:

1. Create a new downstream project
2. Open an existing downstream project

Expected Folder Structure

lucidlabs/
├── lucidlabs-agent-kit/        ← You are here (upstream template)
└── projects/                    ← Downstream projects go here
    ├── customer-portal/
    ├── internal-dashboard/
    └── ...

Step 1: Check for Existing Projects

First, check what projects exist:

# List existing projects
ls -la ../projects 2>/dev/null || echo "No projects directory yet"

Step 2: Ask the User

Present the options to the user:

Question: "Was möchtest du tun?"

Options:

1. Neues Projekt erstellen → Run /init-project [name]
2. Bestehendes Projekt öffnen → Navigate to ../projects/[name]
3. Projekt von GitHub klonen → Run /checkout-project [repo-url]
4. Am Template arbeiten → Only for template improvements

Workflow: New Project

If user wants to create a new project:

1. Ask for project name (kebab-case, e.g., customer-portal)
2. Run the scaffolding script:

   ./scripts/create-agent-project.sh [project-name]
   

3. The script creates the project in ../projects/[project-name]/
4. IMPORTANT: Tell the user to start a new Claude session:

   Project created at: ../projects/[project-name]/
   
   To continue working:
   1. Open a new terminal
   2. Run: cd ../projects/[project-name] && claude
   
   Or if using VS Code with Claude extension:
   1. Open the project folder in VS Code
   2. Start Claude from there
   

Workflow: Open Existing Project

If user wants to open an existing project:

1. List available projects:

   ls ../projects/
   

2. Let user choose which project
3. IMPORTANT: Tell the user to start a new Claude session:

   To work on [project-name]:
   
   1. Open a new terminal
   2. Run: cd ../projects/[project-name] && claude
   

Workflow: Clone from GitHub

If user wants to clone a project:

1. Ask for repository URL
2. Ask for project name (or derive from repo)
3. Clone into projects folder:

   mkdir -p ../projects
   git clone [repo-url] ../projects/[project-name]
   

4. IMPORTANT: Tell the user to start a new Claude session:

   Project cloned to: ../projects/[project-name]/
   
   To continue working:
   1. Open a new terminal
   2. Run: cd ../projects/[project-name] && claude
   

Workflow: Template Work

If user wants to work on the template itself:

1. Confirm this is intentional:

   Du möchtest am Agent-Kit Template selbst arbeiten?
   Das ist nur für:
   - Neue Skills hinzufügen
   - Boilerplate verbessern
   - Dokumentation aktualisieren
   
   Domain-spezifische Arbeit gehört in downstream Projekte.
   

2. If confirmed, run /prime to load template context

Key Principle

Claude sessions are directory-bound. A session started in lucidlabs-agent-kit/ works on the template. To work on a project, the user must start a new Claude session in that project's directory.

Output Template

After determining what the user wants, provide clear instructions:

## Nächste Schritte

**Projekt:** [project-name]
**Pfad:** ../projects/[project-name]/

### Für neues Terminal:
\`\`\`bash
cd ../projects/[project-name] && claude
\`\`\`

### Für VS Code:
1. Öffne den Ordner `../projects/[project-name]/` in VS Code
2. Starte Claude über die Command Palette

---

Sobald du im Projekt bist, nutze `/prime` um den Kontext zu laden.
