User: "Make an Instagram clone with photo sharing and likes"
App Builder Process:
1. Project type: Social Media App
2. Tech stack: Next.js + Prisma + Cloudinary + Clerk
3. Create plan:
├─ Database schema (users, posts, likes, follows)
├─ API routes (12 endpoints)
├─ Pages (feed, profile, upload)
└─ Components (PostCard, Feed, LikeButton)
4. Coordinate agents
5. Report progress
6. Start preview
tools
Create a new workshop or use an existing directory as one. Handles two paths: (A) use an existing local directory the operator points at, or (B) create a new private GitHub repo in the signed-in account. Never creates a repo inside another repo.
development
Guide for setting up vcpkg in C++ projects, managing dependency versions, and cross-compiling. Covers manifest initialization, CMake and Visual Studio integration, classic-to-manifest migration, version pinning, baselines, overrides, triplets, and cross-compilation. Use when a user is working with vcpkg project setup, installation, version management, or cross-platform builds. For specialized tasks, additional references cover custom registries and overlay ports (references/registries.md), CI/CD and binary caching (references/ci.md), and troubleshooting and dependency lifecycle (references/troubleshooting.md).
testing
Emit structured agent signals — hands-up, blocked, done, checkpoint, partnership. Signals are written as JSON to .signals/ for dashboard consumption and noted in the journal for persistence.
development
Install and configure Markstream streaming Markdown renderers for Vue, React, Svelte, Angular, Nuxt, and Vue 2 applications. Use for package selection, minimal peer dependencies, CSS order, SSR boundaries, streaming mode, and renderer setup.
