FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize local agent state for a solo developer project?

Local state initialization works by creating or validating a v3 state.json file and preparing the AGNT_DIR based on your tool preferences. It records the started_at timestamp and prepares your next actions for immediate productive work.

Does the onboarding flow support MCP integration?

Yes, onboarding supports MCP integration by attempting a connection during initialization and updating your identity accordingly. This enables a seamless setup experience when MCP is available in your environment.

Can I use this project setup workflow with both Claude and Codex?

Yes, project setup works with both Claude and Codex. The state initialization process prepares the AGNT_DIR based on your specific tool preferences, ensuring the synchronized project structure matches your chosen platform.

What is the best way to start productive work quickly after signing in?

The best way to start productive work quickly is to trigger this onboarding skill. It centralizes initialization, synchronizes your project structure, and provides clear next actions so you can begin daily tasks without manual setup errors.

Why does state initialization fail when returning to an existing project?

State initialization validates the existing v3 state.json when returning to a project. If the file is missing or corrupted, the skill recreates it and re-prepares the AGNT_DIR to restore your ready-to-start project state.
