SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Discover and profile a Xano workspace to understand how to develop safely with it using the sandbox workflow. This prevents accidental changes and data exposure by establishing a structured, sandboxed development playbook.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided environment checks for MCP, CLI, and sandbox readiness to establish a safe baseline.
  • Step-by-step interactive setup covering workspace selection, CLI profile management, branch discovery, and deployment workflow decisions.
  • Generation of a concrete development playbook that documents operating rules and best practices for safe Xano development.

Quick Start

Ask Claude Code to run the xano-init workflow to set up a new local profile and sandbox-based development playbook for your Xano workspace.
