Scaffold Workflow

Copy this checklist to track progress:

Scaffold progress:
- [ ] Phase 1: Gather project info
- [ ] Phase 2: Create Next.js app
- [ ] Phase 3: Install Blode UI components
- [ ] Phase 4: Install Agentation
- [ ] Phase 5: Install Ultracite
- [ ] Phase 6: Convert to Turborepo
- [ ] Phase 7: GitHub and Vercel setup
- [ ] Phase 8: Pre-launch checklist

Phase 1: Gather project info

Collect from the user (ask only what was not provided):

Phase 2: Create Next.js app

Load references/app-setup.md.

Follow the create-next-app setup in references/app-setup.md.

Confirm the app runs with npm run dev.

Phase 3: Install Blode UI components

Load references/app-setup.md.

Initialize shadcn and register the Blode UI component library as described in the reference. Always use blode-icons-react for icon imports (never lucide-react).

Phase 4: Install Agentation

Load references/app-setup.md.

Install the package and patch app/layout.tsx with the dev-only <Agentation /> component as described in the reference. Optionally add Google Analytics using @next/third-parties.

Phase 5: Install Ultracite

Load references/app-setup.md.

Remove the default biome config and initialize Ultracite as described in the reference.

Phase 6: Convert to Turborepo

Load references/turbo-configs.md.

1. Create root directory structure and move the app into apps/web/.
2. Generate root package.json, turbo.json, biome.jsonc.
3. Generate knip.json.
4. Generate root .gitignore.
5. Ensure apps/web/package.json has these scripts:
   • "lint": "biome check ."
   • "lint:fix": "biome check --write ."
   • "format": "biome format --write ."
   • "format:check": "biome format ."
   • "check-types": "tsc --noEmit"
   • "test": "vitest run"
   • "test:watch": "vitest"
6. Verify apps/web/next.config.ts has reactCompiler: true.
7. Run npm install from root.
8. Verify npm run dev works from root (turbo runs apps/web).

Phase 7: GitHub and Vercel setup

Load references/deploy-and-launch.md.

Follow the GitHub and Vercel setup steps in the reference.

Phase 8: Pre-launch checklist

Load references/deploy-and-launch.md.

Generate a favicon package using RealFaviconGenerator, add OG images, then hand off to other skills.

Placeholder Reference

All templates use {{variable}} syntax. Do a final sweep to catch missed placeholders.

Anti-patterns

• Do not use src/ directory — create-next-app flag disables it
• Do not use ESLint — Biome via Ultracite replaces it
• Do not call biome directly — use ultracite fix or ultracite check
• Do not configure git hooks manually — Ultracite sets up husky and lint-staged automatically
• Do not put app dependencies in root package.json — only devDependencies (turbo, ultracite)
• Do not skip the Blode registry setup step (see references/app-setup.md) before adding Blode components
• Do not use lucide-react in scaffolded UI code — use blode-icons-react
• Do not create apps/web manually — create-next-app first, then move
