High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refresh onboarding templates without overwriting custom project edits?▼

To refresh onboarding templates safely, you can diff against the latest plugin templates and prompt for per-section confirmation before applying changes. This updates your setup while preserving all user customizations untouched.

What is the safest way to upgrade an existing onboarding setup?▼

The safest way to upgrade an onboarding setup is by backing up all touched files and restricting modifications to plugin-managed delimited sections only. User-owned content remains completely untouched during the template refresh process.

How do I update plugin templates while keeping my custom configurations intact?▼

You can update plugin templates by computing per-section diffs against the latest versions and prompting for confirmation before applying changes. This selective refresh ensures your custom configurations are preserved without overwriting user edits.

Can I review template diffs before applying onboarding updates?▼

Yes, you can review template diffs before applying onboarding updates because the process computes per-section changes and prompts for confirmation. Unified diffs are displayed so you can evaluate proposed changes before they are applied.

How does the setup identify which sections to update during an onboarding refresh?▼

The setup identifies sections to update by reading onboarding-meta.json or CLAUDE.md markers to detect the current configuration. It then restricts changes to plugin-managed delimited sections only, ensuring user-owned content remains untouched.

Are my project files backed up before applying template upgrades?▼

Yes, your project files are backed up before applying template upgrades because the safe-by-default operation creates backups of all touched files. This ensures you can recover your previous setup if needed after the refresh.
