Getting started guide for new users. Walks through setup validation, the skill/agent hierarchy,

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 82 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Do not skip agent-toolkit doctor — it catches 90% of setup issues

    line 114
  2. Very specific:

    Do not invoke agents via the skill tool — use @mention

    line 115
  3. Distinctive:

    Do not run L3 loops without 3+ clean L1 runs first

    line 116
  4. Very specific:

    Run your first task: /workflow-generic-project

    line 121

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 82 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Onboarding

Welcome to agent-toolkit. This skill guides new users through initial setup and daily usage.

When to use

  • User asks "where do I start?" or "how does this work?"
  • First-time setup after chezmoi apply
  • Troubleshooting a broken installation
  • Onboarding a teammate

Step 1 — Validate setup

agent-toolkit doctor

Expected: result: COMPLIANT. If any check fails, doctor shows the fix command.

For persistent issues:

agent-toolkit --version   # check for available updates (or: agent-toolkit update-check)
agent-toolkit inventory     # verify skills are installed (or: agent-toolkit skills list)
agent-toolkit install --force  # re-sync profiles to AI tools (replaces legacy `skills sync`)

Step 2 — Understand the hierarchy

User message
    ↓
Orchestrator (assistant)
    ↓ routes to
Workflow skill (WHAT — decides scope and gates)
    e.g. workflow-generic-project
    ↓ delegates to
Tool skill (HOW — executes CLI commands)
    e.g. clickup-cli, github-cli-workflow

Skills are invoked via the skill tool (e.g. /planning). Agents are invoked via @mention (e.g. @planner). Never use the skill tool for agents.

Step 3 — First commands by role

Developer

# Start any task
/workflow-generic-project

# After code changes — review before PR
@code-reviewer

# CI failing
/gh-fix-ci

Product Manager / Tech Lead

# Plan a feature
@planner

# Create a ClickUp task
/clickup-cli  # then: clickup task create --current --name "..."

# Project health check
/project-assessment

Anyone

# Check workstation health
agent-toolkit doctor

# Find which skill to use
# → ask the orchestrator: "what skill should I use for X?"

# Load client/project context
agent-toolkit workspace load packs/<client>.yaml   # canonical; harness alias: ./bin/workspace-context load

Key concepts in 60 seconds

ConceptWhat it means
PackContext bundle for a client/project (repos, constraints, commands)
SkillReusable AI prompt for a specific task (WHAT or HOW)
AgentSpecialized AI persona with restricted tool access (invoked via @mention)
LoopRecurring autonomous process with state, tiers, and cost budgets
L1 / L2 / L3Loop autonomy tiers: L1=observe-only (read-only), L2=PR-gated (draft PR), L3=allowlisted (scoped writes) — see AGENTS.md loop.yaml tier/allowlist/deny
knowledge/Persistent memory across sessions

Anti-patterns

  • Do not skip agent-toolkit doctor — it catches 90% of setup issues
  • Do not invoke agents via the skill tool — use @mention
  • Do not run L3 loops without 3+ clean L1 runs first

Next steps

  • Load a project pack: agent-toolkit workspace load packs/<project>.yaml (harness alias: ./bin/workspace-context)
  • Run your first task: /workflow-generic-project
  • Set up daily loop: agent-toolkit loop init daily-triage

    How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

      paywalls

      When the user wants to create or optimize in-app paywalls, upgrade screens, upsell modals, or feature gates. Also use when the user mentions "paywall," "upgrade screen," "upgrade modal," "upsell," "feature gate," "convert free to paid," "freemium conversion," "trial expiration screen," "limit reached screen," "plan upgrade prompt," "in-app pricing," "free users won't upgrade," "trial to paid conversion," or "how do I get users to pay." Use this for any in-product moment where you're asking users to upgrade. Distinct from public pricing pages (see cro) — this focuses on in-product upgrade moments where the user has already experienced value. For pricing decisions, see pricing.

    • CesarjoquinSkill

      popups

      When the user wants to create or optimize popups, modals, overlays, slide-ins, or banners for conversion purposes. Also use when the user mentions "exit intent," "popup conversions," "modal optimization," "lead capture popup," "email popup," "announcement banner," "overlay," "collect emails with a popup," "exit popup," "scroll trigger," "sticky bar," or "notification bar." Use this for any overlay or interrupt-style conversion element. For forms outside of popups, see cro. For general page conversion optimization, see cro.

      marketing-council

      When the user wants multiple expert perspectives on a marketing question — a simulated board of advisors staffed by legendary marketers (Seth Godin, David Ogilvy, Eugene Schwartz, April Dunford, Rory Sutherland, Alex Hormozi, Byron Sharp, and more). Also use when the user mentions 'marketing council,' 'board of advisors,' 'advisory board,' 'what would Seth Godin say,' 'what would Ogilvy think,' 'channel Hormozi,' 'get multiple perspectives,' 'debate this,' 'have the council review,' 'marketing mentors,' or asks how a famous marketer would approach their problem. The council gives each advisor's take through their documented frameworks, surfaces where they disagree, and synthesizes a recommendation. For executing the winning direction, hand off to positioning, offers, copywriting, ads, or the relevant skill.

      prospecting

      When the user wants to find, qualify, and build a list of prospects to reach out to — across B2B SaaS, general B2B, or local small businesses. Also use when the user mentions "prospecting," "build a prospect list," "find prospects," "find leads," "lead gen list," "find SaaS companies that," "find B2B companies," "find local businesses," "ICP-fit accounts," "who should we go after," "outbound list," "target account list," "find clients near me," "businesses without websites," "prospect research," "qualified leads," "find my first customers," "early adopters," "design partners," "beta users," or "who has this problem." Use this for the list-building and qualification phase. For writing the outbound copy after the list is built, see cold-email. For deep competitive research on specific accounts, see competitor-profiling.

      emails

      When the user wants to create or optimize an email sequence, drip campaign, automated email flow, or lifecycle email program. Also use when the user mentions "email sequence," "drip campaign," "nurture sequence," "onboarding emails," "welcome sequence," "re-engagement emails," "email automation," "lifecycle emails," "trigger-based emails," "email funnel," "email workflow," "what emails should I send," "welcome series," or "email cadence." Use this for any multi-email automated flow. For cold outreach emails, see cold-email. For in-app onboarding, see onboarding.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
