SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires mycelium, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The start skill addresses the friction and cognitive gap that occurs when transitioning from installing a framework to actively engaging with it on an actual project.

Core Features & Use Cases

One-Command Onboarding: Combines project setup and initial discovery brief into a simple command.
Project State Detection: Identifies if the project is already initialized, skipping unnecessary setup.
Discovery Brief: Facilitates deep thinking about the problem, target audience, assumptions, and risks associated with a project idea.

Quick Start

Run '/mycelium:start' immediately after installing the Mycelium plugin to begin the discovery and setup process.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate project setup and idea validation in the Mycelium framework?▼

You can automate project setup and idea validation by running the /mycelium:start command, which integrates the environment configuration and discovery interview flows into a single step. This streamlines framework adoption and cognitive engagement.

What is project discovery and why do I need it before starting development?▼

Project discovery is the process of deeply analyzing your problem, target audience, assumptions, and risks before development. It ensures your idea is validated and prevents unnecessary setup steps if the project is already initialized.

Can I skip the onboarding process if my project is already initialized?▼

Yes, the setup automation includes project state detection to identify if your project is already initialized. It skips unnecessary setup steps and directly facilitates the discovery brief to focus on idea validation.

Do I need the Mycelium plugin installed to use the one-command onboarding?▼

Yes, the Mycelium framework is a required dependency. You must install the Mycelium plugin first, then run the start command immediately after to initiate the combined project setup and discovery brief process.

What's the best way to transition from installing a framework to actively engaging with a project?▼

The best way to bridge the cognitive gap between installing a framework and active engagement is using a one-command onboarding tool. It combines initial setup with a discovery brief to guide deep thinking about your project idea.

What limitations exist when combining project setup and discovery briefs into one step?▼

The primary limitation is its dependency on the Mycelium framework, meaning it cannot operate independently. It is specifically designed for initial project discovery and setup, skipping already initialized projects rather than managing ongoing development.
