- name:
- nocobase-install-start
- description:
- Select an installation method, install NocoBase, and start it locally or on a server. Use when users ask how to install NocoBase, initialize a project, or start a running instance.
- argument-hint:
- [docker|create-nocobase-app|git] [install-dir]
- allowed-tools:
- Bash, Read, WebFetch
Goal
Install NocoBase with clear branching and minimal questioning.
Workflow
- Ask quick mode first.
- Quick mode (
Docker + install together + PostgreSQL):
- Ask only release channel and installation directory.
- Execute install and startup.
- Non-quick mode:
- Ask installation method (
docker,create-nocobase-app,git), release channel, and installation directory. - If method is Docker, ask database mode (
install togetherorconnect existing). - If Docker +
install together, ask database type (PostgreSQL,MySQL,MariaDB). - If
connect existing(Docker/non-Docker), confirm connection info readiness and require config/env edits before startup. - Execute install only; provide startup commands and verification steps (do not execute startup).
- Always read
references/install-methods.mdand include the chosen method doc link before running commands.
Method Rule
- Docker is the default recommended method.
- Use
create-nocobase-appwhen user wants the fastest local bootstrap. - Use Git installation only when user needs source-level customization.
Mandatory Clarification Gate
- Do not run install/start commands before all required confirmations are collected.
- Quick mode: release channel + installation directory.
- Non-quick mode: installation method + release channel + installation directory.
- Docker extra: database mode; and database type if
install together. - Existing DB: connection info readiness confirmation.
- If user says "you decide" in non-quick mode, choose Docker.
Mandatory Doc-Read Gate
- Do not run install/start commands before reading
references/install-methods.md. - Do not run install/start commands unless the chosen method matches one method in
references/install-methods.md, or quick mode preset is selected. - Include the exact method doc link from
references/install-methods.mdbefore running commands. - If method mapping is unclear, stop and ask a clarification question.
Question Template
- Quick mode question: "Do you want quick mode (
Docker + PostgreSQL + install together) so I execute install and startup directly?" - Method question: "Which NocoBase installation method do you want: Docker (recommended), create-nocobase-app, or Git?"
- Version question: "Which release channel do you want to install: latest (stable), beta, or alpha?"
- Directory question: "Please provide the target installation directory (for example
./my-nocobaseor/opt/nocobase)." - Docker database mode question: "For Docker installation, do you want to install database together in Docker, or connect to an existing database?"
- Docker bundled DB type question: "For Docker + install together, which database type do you want to install: PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MariaDB?"
- Existing DB readiness question: "Please confirm your existing database connection info is ready (host, port, database, username, password), and you can edit NocoBase config/env before startup."
Resources
- Must read
references/install-methods.mdbefore generating commands.

nocobase/nocobase-prototype-repro
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Use when the task hands over a prototype to reproduce in NocoBase — an HTML file, an image, or a link, INCLUDING the published form "Build a NocoBase app — X … Match the layout and signature visuals of this reference prototype: <url>" — or when someone says a built page "doesn't match the prototype / looks monotone / is ugly". A prototype/URL being present is what triggers this skill, EVEN WHEN the same prompt also says "build an app" — the verb "build" does not cancel the prototype. Skip it only when there is NO prototype at all: a bare "build me a CRM/app" → nocobase-app- discipline; a one-field edit / rename → nocobase-ui-builder. It turns "here is the prototype, build it" into a faithful app — analyze prototype, native CRUD, the right native block per region, then a screenshot-vs-prototype visual loop. Native-first; JS only inside a native container; never a full-page JS block. Mechanics live in nocobase-ui-builder, nocobase-data-modeling, nocobase-app-discipline.
