Overview

This skill condenses an overly long Level 1 quick-start into a focused, practical guide. It trims repetitive filler and preserves only the essential setup steps, core principles, code snippets, and checklist items. The result is a compact starting point you can use immediately.

How this skill works

The skill scans the original Level 1 content, removes repeated or placeholder text, and extracts meaningful instructions and examples. It normalizes the quick reference code into a minimal, runnable snippet and reduces long prose into concise principles. Finally, it produces a short checklist that maps directly to first-day developer tasks.
