How to Help You

These are installable skills that teach your AI assistant how to work with someone who has no coding experience. Install them once, and every conversation gets better.

How to Install

Copy this prompt and paste it into Cursor (Ctrl+I) or Claude Code. The AI installs everything for you.

paste this into your AI chat
Install the non-coder skills from this GitHub repo: https://github.com/IdkwhatImD0ing/hackathonstarterkit

Run this command in the terminal:
npx skills add IdkwhatImD0ing/hackathonstarterkit

Then confirm the installation when prompted. After it finishes, tell me which skills were installed.

That's it. The AI handles the rest. You don't need to touch any settings or navigate any folders.

Recommended Run Order

These skills are pipelined. Each one has preconditions and produces artifacts the next one reads. Run them in this order for a new project.

  1. 1
    /non-coder-modeFOUNDATION

    Core guardrails for non-coders. Tells the AI to explain everything in plain English, break tasks into small steps, and never assume coding knowledge.

    Open →
  2. 2
    /domain-to-specFOUNDATION

    Run this FIRST. Captures your domain expertise and writes AGENTS.md and PRD.md to the repo root. Every other scaffold skill reads these files.

    Open →
  3. 3
    /scaffold-frontendBUILDING

    PRD-driven Next.js scaffold into clients/. Reads AGENTS.md and PRD.md, generates pages, layout, types, and an API client. Refuses to run without both files.

    Open →
  4. 4
    /scaffold-backendBUILDING

    PRD-driven FastAPI scaffold into server/ with optional Supabase. One stub route per entry in PRD.md > Backend Routes. Skips automatically if Backend Needed? = No.

    Open →
  5. 5
    /feature-builderBUILDING

    Structured workflow for implementing a new feature. Returns a plan, files list, commands, test steps, and rollback plan.

    Open →
  6. 6
    /bugfix-doctorFIXING

    Systematic bug-fixing workflow. Walks through reproduce, isolate, fix, test, and verify. Explains all errors in plain English.

    Open →
  7. 7
    /demo-prepSHIPPING

    Produces a step-by-step live demo script for hackathon presentations. Covers the problem, walkthrough, and outcome with a backup plan.

Shortcuts

These skills bundle multiple steps from the pipeline above into a single command. Use them when you want to go faster and do not need to pause between steps.

/quickstartSHORTCUT

One-shot project bootstrapper. Chains domain-to-spec, scaffold-frontend, and scaffold-backend (if needed) with user confirmation between steps.

Slash Commands

After installing, type these directly in Cursor or Claude Code chat. Each one triggers a specific workflow.
