Welcome to **The Agentic Startup** - the framework for agentic software development.

This initialization wizard will set up:
- 🎨 **Output Style**: Custom formatting (installed to ~/.claude/)
- 📊 **Statusline**: Git-aware statusline (installed to ~/.claude/)

Let's get started!

🤔 Ask yourself before proceeding:

1. Have I displayed the welcome banner?
2. Have I explained all configuration options clearly?
3. Is the user ready to proceed with setup?

Step 2: Output Style Installation

🎯 Goal: Check if output style exists, then ask user if they want to install/reinstall.

First, check if already installed:

1. Run: ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/the-startup/plugins/start/scripts/install-output-style.py --check
2. Parse output:
   • If output contains "INSTALLED": Already installed
   • If output contains "NOT_INSTALLED": Not yet installed

If already installed:

• Display: "ℹ️ Output style is already installed at ~/.claude/output-styles/the-startup.md"
• Ask using AskUserQuestion:

  Question: "Output style already exists. What would you like to do?"
  Header: "Output Style"
  Options:
    1. "Reinstall" - "Reinstall with fresh copy and activate"
    2. "Skip" - "Don't reinstall output style"
  

• If "Reinstall":
  • Run: ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/the-startup/plugins/start/scripts/install-output-style.py to reinstall
  • Run SlashCommand tool with /output-style The Startup
  • Display: "✓ Output style reinstalled and activated"
  • Continue to next step
• If "Skip":
  • Display: "⊘ Output style reinstallation skipped"
  • Continue to next step

If not installed:

• Ask using AskUserQuestion:

  Question: "Would you like to install The Agentic Startup output style?"
  Header: "Output Style"
  Options:
    1. "Install" - "Install output style to ~/.claude/ and activate"
    2. "Skip" - "Don't install output style"
  

• If "Install":
  • Run: ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/the-startup/plugins/start/scripts/install-output-style.py to install
  • Run SlashCommand tool with /output-style The Startup
  • Display: "✓ Output style installed and activated"
  • Continue to next step
• If "Skip":
  • Display: "⊘ Output style installation skipped"
  • Continue to next step

🤔 Ask yourself before proceeding:

1. Did I ask the user about output style installation?
2. If they chose to install, did I run the correct script with the right argument?
3. Did I parse and display the installation result?
4. Did I inform them about restarting Claude Code if needed?

Step 3: Statusline Installation

🎯 Goal: Check if statusline exists, then ask user if they want to install/reinstall.

First, check if already installed:

1. Run: ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/the-startup/plugins/start/scripts/install-statusline.py --check
2. Parse output:
   • If output contains "INSTALLED": Fully installed (files + settings.json configured)
   • Otherwise: Not installed (treat PARTIAL or NOT_INSTALLED the same)

If installed:

• Display: "✓ Statusline is already installed"
• Ask using AskUserQuestion:

  Question: "Statusline already installed. What would you like to do?"
  Header: "Statusline"
  Options:
    1. "Reinstall" - "Reinstall with fresh copy"
    2. "Skip" - "Don't reinstall output style"
  

• If "Reinstall":
  • Run: ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/the-startup/plugins/start/scripts/install-statusline.py to reinstall
  • Display: "✓ Statusline reinstalled (restart Claude Code to see changes)"
  • Continue to next step
• If "Skip":
  • Display: "⊘ Statusline installation skipped"
  • Continue to next step

If not installed:

• Ask using AskUserQuestion:

  Question: "Would you like to install the git statusline?"
  Header: "Statusline"
  Options:
    1. "Install" - "Install statusline to ~/.claude/"
    2. "Skip" - "Don't install statusline"
  

• If "Install":
  • Run: ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/the-startup/plugins/start/scripts/install-statusline.py to install
  • Display: "✓ Statusline installed (restart Claude Code to see changes)"
  • Continue to next step
• If "Skip":
  • Display: "⊘ Statusline installation skipped"
  • Continue to next step

🤔 Ask yourself before proceeding:

1. Did I ask the user about statusline installation?
2. If they chose to install, did I run the installation script?
3. Did I parse and display the installation result?
4. Did I explain when changes take effect?

Step 4: Installation Summary

🎯 Goal: Summarize what was installed and provide next steps.

Display a comprehensive summary based on what was installed:

✅ The Agentic Startup - Setup Complete!

📦 Installed Components:
  [List what was installed based on user choices]

  Output Style:
  • [Installed to ~/.claude/ and activated | Not installed]

  Statusline:
  • [Installed to ~/.claude/ | Not installed]

  Framework Commands:
  ✓ All commands available via /start:* prefix

🔄 Next Steps:

  Start using framework commands:
  • /start:specify <your feature idea> - Create specifications
  • /start:implement <specification id> - Execute implementation
  • /start:analyze <area of interest> - Discover patterns
  • /start:refactor <code to refactor> - Systematic refactoring

  Configuration is in ~/.claude/ and applies globally to all projects

🎉 Happy building with The Agentic Startup!

🤔 Final verification:

1. Have I accurately summarized what was installed?
2. Did I provide clear next steps based on their choices?
3. Did I explain when/how changes take effect?
4. Did I give them actionable ways to start using the framework?
5. Have I provided resources for learning more?
