## Notation

**Ask [Header]**: "question" means call AskUserQuestion with that header and question. Options listed as bullets. User can always type custom via "Other".

For architecture context, see `LAUNCH-REFERENCE.md` in this directory.

---

## FIRST: Terminal or Editor UI?

**This is the very first question — ask before anything else.**
**DO NOT check .env, credentials, or project state before asking this question.**
**DO NOT invoke any other skill before asking this question.**
**If Editor is chosen, skip ALL remaining steps — the editor handles everything.**

Ask the user:
> "How do you want to build? **Editor** (opens a browser UI with live preview, chat, and deploy button) or **Terminal** (I'll generate and deploy from here)?"

Present Editor as the first/recommended option.

- **If Editor**: Start the editor server and **END YOUR TURN. Do not ask any more questions. Do not continue to Phase 0 or any phase below.** The editor UI handles the entire workflow — setup, generation, preview, deploy.

  Launch the editor server:
  ```bash
  VIBES_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(dirname "$(dirname "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}")")}"
  bun "$VIBES_ROOT/scripts/server.ts" --mode=editor --prompt "USER_PROMPT_HERE"
  ```
  If no prompt was given, omit `--prompt`:
  ```bash
  VIBES_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(dirname "$(dirname "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}")")}"
  bun "$VIBES_ROOT/scripts/server.ts" --mode=editor
  ```
  Tell the user: "Open http://localhost:3333 — the editor handles everything from here."
  **Your job is done. Stop. Do not read further. Do not proceed to any phase below.**

- **If Terminal**: Continue with the workflow below.

---

## ⛔ EVERYTHING BELOW IS TERMINAL MODE ONLY

**If the user chose Editor above, STOP. Do not read or execute anything below this line.**
**The editor UI handles setup, generation, preview, and deployment.**

---

## Auth Check (Terminal mode only — silent unless needed)

Check for cached auth. Editor mode handles auth in the browser, so this only runs for Terminal:

```bash
VIBES_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(dirname "$(dirname "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}")")}"
bun --input-type=module -e "
import { readCachedTokens, isTokenExpired } from '$VIBES_ROOT/scripts/lib/cli-auth.js';
const tokens = readCachedTokens();
if (tokens && !isTokenExpired(tokens.expiresAt)) {
  console.log('AUTH_OK');
} else {
  console.log('AUTH_NEEDED');
}
"
```

- If `AUTH_OK` → proceed silently (do not mention auth)
- If `AUTH_NEEDED` → ask: "To deploy apps, you'll need a Vibes account. Sign in now? (A browser window will open for Pocket ID — takes about 10 seconds.)"
  - If yes:
    ```bash
    VIBES_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(dirname "$(dirname "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}")")}"
    bun --input-type=module -e "
    import { getAccessToken } from '$VIBES_ROOT/scripts/lib/cli-auth.js';
    import { OIDC_AUTHORITY, OIDC_CLIENT_ID } from '$VIBES_ROOT/scripts/lib/auth-constants.js';
    const tokens = await getAccessToken({ authority: OIDC_AUTHORITY, clientId: OIDC_CLIENT_ID });
    if (tokens) console.log('Signed in successfully!');
    "
    ```
    Confirm success, then continue.
  - If no → proceed anyway (auth will be needed at deploy time)

## Pre-Flight Check

Only one check before collecting input:

| # | Check | Command | If True |
|---|-------|---------|---------|
| 1 | app.jsx exists | `test -f app.jsx` | **Ask [Reuse]**: "app.jsx exists. Reuse it or regenerate?" If reuse: skip T1. |

Auth and deploy credentials are handled automatically — no user setup needed. On first deploy, a browser window opens for Pocket ID login. Tokens are cached at `~/.vibes/auth.json`.

## Phase 0: Collect Inputs

### 0.1 App Prompt

**Ask [App prompt]**: "What do you want to build? Describe the app you have in mind."
- "Todo list" — A simple task manager with categories and due dates
- "Photo gallery" — A shareable photo gallery with albums and captions
- "Team dashboard" — A metrics and status dashboard for small teams

Store as `appPrompt`.

### 0.2 App Name

**Ask [App name]**: "What's the app name? (used for subdomain + database)"
- "Derive from prompt" — Generate a URL-safe slug automatically
- "Let me specify" — I'll type my own name

If "Derive from prompt": generate URL-safe slug (lowercase, hyphens, max 30 chars). Store as `appName`.

### 0.3 AI Features (conditional)

Scan `appPrompt` for AI keywords: "chatbot", "chat with AI", "summarize", "generate", "analyze", "AI-powered", "intelligent".

If detected: **Ask [AI features]**: "Does this app need AI features?"
- "Yes — I have an OpenRouter key" — I'll paste my API key
- "Yes — I need to get one" — I'll sign up at openrouter.ai
- "No AI needed" — Skip AI capabilities

If yes: check `grep OPENROUTER_API_KEY ~/.vibes/.env`. If found, offer reuse (mask key). Otherwise collect via Ask and offer to cache to `~/.vibes/.env`. Store as `openRouterKey` (or null if no AI).

### 0.4 SaaS Config

**Sell config is collected here but applied later by the assembly script.** Do NOT hand-implement SaaS logic — the sell assembly handles tenant routing, auth gating, and billing.

Choose billing mode based on monetization intent:
- **"off" (free)** — all authenticated users get full access. Good for MVPs and internal tools.
- **"required" (subscription)** — users must subscribe. Strip
