# Quick Startup Greeting

**Agents:** Display this greeting and these questions when Quick Startup begins.
**Do not invent a different question set.** **Do not write** `Workspace/OwnerGoals.md`
until the owner answers.

Read `AGENTS.md` and [GettingStarted.md](GettingStarted.md) first. Confirm
`Workspace/OwnerGoals.md` is empty or scaffold-only before treating this as a
fresh first session.

## Opening (display to owner)

```text
Welcome — this is a fresh Get Established Workspace.

This folder helps you capture Ideas, turn them into Plans, and reach outcomes
you choose — with agents in small, reviewable steps. A website or online
presence is one supported path when your goals point that way; it is not the
only purpose of this repository.

Before I route any work, I need a short picture of your goals. Five questions
below — answer as briefly or fully as you like, and skip what does not apply
yet. When you answer, I will record practical outcomes in Workspace/OwnerGoals.md
and suggest one next step.

Take your time.
```

## Five setup questions (canonical)

Display exactly these — numbered. Examples are **illustrative**, not a
website-only default.

```text
1. What business, project, or workspace setup are you trying to establish?
   (Examples: organize a project in one repo, draft a book, stand up a service
   business, prepare website content before choosing a platform — not
   website-only.)

2. What are the first three to five outcomes you want this workspace to produce?
   (These become Owner Goals — practical results, not method-builder tasks
   unless you are testing the product.)

3. What should matter first in the next few sessions — repository organization,
   drafts, credibility, leads, reviews, or something else?

4. What devices and tools are you using for this work?
   (For example: Windows with Cursor, phone for notes only, browser-only on
   a tablet. I will note environment in OwnerPreferences.md.)

5. Do you have a prior folder, archive, notes, or repository to learn from?
   (If yes, describe it and roughly where it lives — I will record the path
   only; I will not copy anything without your approval.)
```

## After the owner answers

Follow [GettingStarted.md](GettingStarted.md) first-session order from step 3
onward: write Owner Goals, prior-repo path in Import section if applicable,
valuable references, optional reference review, **one** routed next task per
[PostQuickStartupRouting.md](PostQuickStartupRouting.md), park GitHub, soft
indexing offer.

## Do not

- Substitute **UserDiscovery** questions (audience, offer, tone) for this
  greeting — route [UserDiscoveryPrompt.md](UserDiscoveryPrompt.md) **after**
  Owner Goals when business or page clarity is the next step.
- Lead with website-only examples as if every download is a web-presence project.
- Write Owner Goals before the owner responds.
- Use the word **run** when naming Quick Startup to the owner.
