Give chat and agents durable repository context by saving technical rules and a project brief under the project’s aiola/ folder.

When onboarding appears

After opening a workspace whose setup is incomplete, Aiola first offers Start from scratch, I already have code, and Skip setup.

Choose new or existing code

Technical and design rules

Manual onboarding collects frontend stack, API style, CSS approach, UI libraries, animation tools, icon libraries, backend languages, runtime, services, design direction, and backend notes.

Generated rules

Expand Generated rules to preview and edit the UI/design and backend rules, or regenerate them from the selected stack. You can skip this step and continue to the brief.

Project brief

Enter the app name and URL, purpose, problem, audience, and named features. You can skip the brief and finish onboarding without it.

Baseline-app option

For new projects, enable Create the baseline app for me. The setup thread scaffolds the chosen framework, installs and initializes selected libraries, creates the starter folders, writes a minimal runnable home page, and reports the installed stack and suggested next features.

Skip behavior

Skipping either manual step saves no content for that step. Skip setup from the initial choice opens the workspace and leaves setup available from Settings.

Files written

The workspace Project destination opens the Info page, where you can edit these documents or run Analyze project later. See Project Info.
