  Generic starter profile — minimal, opinion-light. Drops a CLAUDE.md skeleton
  + AGENTS.md + a couple of useful slash commands. Pick a preset:
   • /starter                 → just the basics (default)
   • /starter/swarm           → adds GitHub-as-shared-memory (Watson pattern, zero infra)
   • /starter/swarm-hosted    → adds boothub.dev hosted swarm (DynamoDB-backed coordination)
presets:
  swarm:
    - project-context
    - commands
    - github-memory

      Commit the .swarm/ directory to share memory across agents on the same repo.
      Each agent appends notes to .swarm/notes/<agent-id>/<timestamp>.md.

post_install:
  - Open CLAUDE.md and customise it for your project.
  - If you picked /starter/swarm, commit .swarm/ now.
  - If you picked /starter/swarm-hosted, run `boothub login` (or set BOOTHUB_TOKEN).

# starter — boothub default profile

A minimal, opinion-light profile that any agent can use as a starting point.
Built-in to boothub.dev — no GitHub account required to use it.

## What you get

- **CLAUDE.md** — generic skeleton you can customise per project
- **AGENTS.md** — single-agent doc; expand to multi-agent if needed
- **/handoff** and **/note** slash commands — basic session continuity

## Add a swarm

If you want multiple agents to coordinate, pick a swarm preset:

- `/starter/swarm` — uses GitHub commits as shared memory (Watson pattern). Zero infrastructure, just commit notes to `.swarm/notes/`.
- `/starter/swarm-hosted` — uses the hosted boothub.dev swarm API. DynamoDB-backed, claim-key auth, real-time-ish.

## Customise it

Once installed, edit the files and commit them to your project. The starter is meant as a launchpad, not a frozen template.
