Use when creating a new val and choosing which starter to fork. Covers the catalog of official starter templates, which project shape each one fits, and when forking an existing val is the better starting point.

Temporary inboxes for agent signup QA — create disposable addresses, wait for verification email, extract OTP or magic links. Use when automating signup, login, or email verification without parsing HTML manually.
Spin up isolated sandboxes ("boxes") for coding agents, run them in parallel, queue background runs with -i, and push commits safely through the host relay. Use when the user wants to run Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode in a sandbox, start more boxes, attach to a running box, or otherwise operate the `agentbox` CLI on their laptop.
Use when building an HTTP val — a web endpoint, API route, webhook receiver, or any val that responds to HTTP requests. Covers the handler signature, Hono usage, the endpoint URL, CORS behavior, redirects, and Val Town-specific limitations.
Switch coding-agent accounts on a usage/rate limit, routed by host and agent.
Use Agent Mail from Codex for file leases, notifications, inboxes, and conflict prevention.
Run automation shape routing.

Always start from a template with remix_val — never build from scratch. Templates handle the boilerplate (entrypoints, imports, build config) and are kept up to date with Val Town's current patterns. Pick the closest match and customize from there.
Map the user's intent to the closest starter:
| Project shape | Template |
|---|---|
| Interactive web app (dashboard, SaaS, CRUD, form, anything with client-side state) | templates/react-hono-starter |
| Static page (landing page, link-in-bio, simple docs) | templates/basic-html-starter |
| AI agent built with OpenAI Agents SDK | templates/openai-agents |
| AI agent, model-agnostic (Vercel AI SDK) | templates/vercel-ai-agent-demo |
| Webhook + AI + dashboard (lead qualification, enrichment) | templates/leads |
| Webhook + enrichment + Slack | templates/new-user-enrichment |
| Telegram bot | templates/telegram-bot-starter |

Simple cron jobs (monitoring, alerts, periodic polling) don't need a template — create a new val with a single interval-type file directly. Templates exist to scaffold complex shapes (UI, multi-file apps, integrations); a one-file cron isn't one of them.
When the user references an existing val or asks to build something "like" another val, use remix_val to fork that val as the starting point instead of an official starter. The user's own prior work is often a closer match than any generic template.
Share the live URL immediately so the user can watch the work come together, then customize files one at a time. Update the README last.
