The goal is to give new projects a clean, opinionated starting point.\n\n## Use This Template\n\nThis repository is meant to be used as a GitHub template, not as the final\napplication repo itself.\n\nTo start a new project:\n\n1. Open this repository on GitHub.\n2. Click `Use this template`.\n3. Create a new repository with your project name and visibility.\n4. Clone the new repository locally.\n5. In the new repository, update:\n   - package and module names if `agentic_project_starter` is no longer the right name\n   - `.env` values and environment-variable defaults\n   - README, docs, and runtime settings for the actual project\n6. Commit that initial project rename and setup baseline before you start large implementation changes.\n\nRecommended first pass in the new repo:\n\n- decide the real product and user-facing workflow\n- define the actual FastAPI routes and domain services\n- replace placeholder agent definitions with project-specific agents, tools, and prompts\n- replace ETL examples with real sources, transforms, and sinks\n- decide whether Docker is enough for your demo or whether your project needs its own deployment setup\n\n## Hackathon Path\n\nFor a Codex-focused hackathon, keep the first loop small and demonstrable:\n\n1. Create a repository from this template and clone it.\n2. Run `cp .env.example .env`, then add `OPENAI_API_KEY` if your demo needs live OpenAI calls.\n3. Run `make setup`, `make doctor`, and `make check` to confirm the scaffold is healthy.\n4. Ask Codex to implement one real feature on top of the existing package boundaries.\n5. Run `make serve` and, for chat-first demos, `make frontend`.\n6. Before opening a PR, run `make quiz` and commit `.change-quiz/result.json`; the quiz check is mandatory by default.\n\n## How To Prompt Codex\n\n**IMPORTANT:** Always use \"Plan Mode\" before implementing a feature (or actually any change). Extend your prompt with \"Ask me many questions so we can make good choices and make a plan together.\"\n\nAfter creating a new repo from this template, use Codex to replace the scaffold\nincrementally instead of asking for one giant rewrite.\n\nGood prompts usually include:\n\n- the business goal and target users\n- the API or CLI behavior you want\n- the data sources and storage model\n- the runtime target\n- constraints such as auth, latency, cost, compliance, or testing expectations\n- concrete acceptance criteria\n\nWhen prompting Codex in the new repo:\n\n- tell it to preserve the overall scaffold unless there is a clear reason to change structure\n- ask it to implement one subsystem at a time\n- ask it to update tests, docs, and env vars together when behavior changes\n- be explicit about what is real logic versus what should stay as reusable template scaffolding\n- if you want frontend help, say whether the product is chat-first; this starter has repo-local skills that can recommend ChatKit when that is actually a good fit\n- name the relevant repo-local skill when the task is fragile: `scaffold-outcomes` for first product work, `frontend-starter-guidance` for chatbot/UI work, and `architecture-boundaries` for runtime or API wiring\n\nExample prompts for a new repo:\n\n```text\nUse the scaffold-outcomes and architecture-boundaries skills.\nImplement the real application logic for this project on top of the starter.\nKeep the existing runtime/api/shared structure. Add FastAPI routes for account\ncreation, login, and project management, backed by PostgreSQL. Update tests,\nenvironment variables, and docs as part of the change.\n```\n\n```text\nUse the scaffold-outcomes skill.\nReplace the placeholder OpenAI Agents SDK scaffolding with a real multi-agent\nworkflow for financial research. Keep the existing agentic package structure.\nAdd a coordinator, researcher, and report-writer agent, define the tools they\nuse, and add smoke tests for registry wiring and dry-run behavior.\n```\n\n```text\nUse the agent-etl-scaffolder and architecture-boundaries skills.\nReplace the ETL starter jobs with a real pipeline that ingests CSV files from S3,\nnormalizes them into a warehouse-friendly schema, and writes outputs to\nPostgreSQL. Keep the existing etl package structure, add typed job configs, and\nupdate docs and environment variables.\n```\n\n```text\nUse the frontend-starter-guidance skill.\nDesign the frontend for this product on top of the starter. First decide whether\nthe experience should be chat-first or not. If it is chat-first, you may\nrecommend the optional ChatKit path in `frontend/`, but keep the backend seams\ngeneric and replaceable. If it is not chat-first, recommend a conventional React\napp structure instead. Update docs and runtime wiring only where needed.\n```\n\n## Quick start\n\nUse this after creating a new repo from the template to validate that the\nscaffold still boots correctly before you add real business logic.\n\n```bash\ncp .env.example .env\nmake setup\nmake doctor\nmake serve\nmake frontend\n```\n\nAPI endpoints:\n\n- `GET /healthz`\n- `GET /v1/runtime/summary`\n- `POST /chatkit`\n\nOptional frontend:\n\n- `http://127.0.0.1:5173` during local Vite development\n- same-origin frontend bundle in Docker after `docker compose up --build`\n\n## Common commands\n\n```bash\nmake setup\nmake doctor\nmake check\nmake serve\nmake frontend\nmake frontend-build\nmake agent\nmake etl\nmake quiz\nmake quiz-verify\nmake docker-up\n```\n\n## Repo layout\n\n```text\n.\n├── src/agentic_project_starter\n│   ├── agentic\n│   ├── api\n│   ├── chat\n│   ├── cli\n│   ├── etl\n│   ├── runtime\n│   └── shared\n├── frontend\n├── docs\n└── .agents/skills\n```\n\n## Documentation\n\n- [Architecture](docs/architecture.md)\n- [Change Understanding Quiz](docs/change-quiz.md)\n- [Environment Variables](docs/environment-variables.md)\n- [Getting Started](docs/getting-started.md)\n- [Local vs Docker](docs/local-vs-docker.md)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Funit8co%2Funit8-public-project-starter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Funit8co%2Funit8-public-project-starter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Funit8co%2Funit8-public-project-starter/lists"}
