AI agent development pack

This section is for coding agents working on the Indie Dev Buddy repository. It is separate from the workspace CLI guide, which explains practical commands for app users and workspace editors.

Current project references

• PRODUCT_SPEC.md defines intended product behavior and scope.
• AGENT_START_PROMPT.md is the historical initial MVP coding prompt. It predates later scope changes and should not be used alone as current implementation instructions.
• IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md is a dated engineering record with historical verification notes, not a current release-readiness claim.
• CLI_CAPABILITY_MATRIX.md describes workspace GUI and CLI coverage.
• The root CONTRIBUTING.md describes pull requests and code changes.

Before changing code, inspect the checked-in implementation and applicable workspace AGENTS.md. Preserve uncommitted changes, use the current product specification for scope, and update user-facing docs when behavior or supported commands change. Do not copy credentials, generated build output, or private workspace data into repository files.

Original start prompt

The original prompt is retained for historical context. For a new development task, follow the current task request, repository instructions, PRODUCT_SPEC.md, and checked-in behavior. Review the historical prompt before reuse because it includes superseded MVP assumptions.
