quickstart

A guided starter workflow for creating a new full-stack project from an empty repository. It prepares project instructions, a plan, a Next.js user interface, and optionally a FastAPI server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn a project idea into a documented starting codebase. It helps set up the frontend and, when needed, a Python-based backend.
Why use it?
It removes the need to run several setup steps in the correct order. It also checks for existing files and asks before reusing or replacing them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

quickstart scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Quickstart

The user is staring at an empty repo and wants to go from zero to a running full-stack scaffold in one command. This skill chains the three foundational skills in the right order so the user does not have to remember them.

The pipeline is:

  domain-to-spec   →   scaffold-frontend   →   scaffold-backend (optional)
  (writes PRD)        (reads PRD, builds       (reads PRD, builds
                       clients/)                server/ if needed)

Preflight

Before starting, check the repo state:

test -f AGENTS.md && echo "AGENTS_EXISTS"
test -f PRD.md && echo "PRD_EXISTS"
test -d clients && echo "CLIENTS_EXISTS"
test -d server && echo "SERVER_EXISTS"

If any of AGENTS.md, PRD.md, clients/, or server/ already exist, STOP and show the user what was found. Ask:

"I found existing files from a previous run. Do you want to (a) skip steps whose output already exists, (b) overwrite everything and start fresh, or (c) cancel?"

Respect the answer. Never overwrite silently.

Step 1: Run domain-to-spec

Invoke the domain-to-spec skill end-to-end. Do not summarize it. Do not skip any of its questions. The user must complete the full Q&A so the PRD is properly filled in.

When domain-to-spec finishes, both AGENTS.md and PRD.md should exist at the repo root. Verify:

test -f AGENTS.md && test -f PRD.md && echo "STEP_1_OK" || echo "STEP_1_FAILED"

If the check fails, STOP. Do not proceed to Step 2. Ask the user to retry domain-to-spec or investigate why the files were not created.

Step 2: Pause for User Review

Before running any scaffolds, show the user:

  • The ## Pages / Screens table from PRD.md.
  • The ## Backend Needed? line from PRD.md.
  • The ## Backend Routes section from PRD.md (if backend is needed).

Ask:

"Review these sections. Are the pages, backend decision, and routes correct? Reply 'yes' to continue, or paste corrections and I will update PRD.md before scaffolding."

If the user pastes corrections, update PRD.md in place, then re-show the sections and ask again. Only proceed when the user confirms.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

quickstart is a skill published in the GitHub repository emilyLi2020/WAVE (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 1,514 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
