Hello Tutorial

/hello Tutorial Guide

The /hello command is your optional onboarding walkthrough. Run it once to meet the agent hierarchy, capture your profile, and stash a personal quick-reference pack before you start /tell.

---

Why /hello Matters

• Personalized setup – Captures your name, experience level, and preferred coaching style.
• Context sharing – Stores answers for later use by /meeting, /write, and other commands.
• Reference kit – Generates ready-to-read docs (QUICK_REFERENCE.md, AGENT_HIERARCHY.md, etc.).
• Safe practice – Lets you test-drive commands without modifying your project.

When to Run It

Scenario	Why it helps
First time using DoPlan CLI	Unlocks guided tutorial, agent overview, and personal profile files.
New team member onboarding	Gives an instant tour before they touch /tell.
Switching machines/IDEs	Rebuilds the reference pack if you wiped .do/system/.
Teaching sessions/demos	Use the practice flow to show commands without changing state.

Walkthrough Flow

1. Warm Welcome & Profile Capture

   • Asks for your name (user_name) and experience (user_experience_level).
   • Responses are reused later by /meeting and progress reports.

2. System & Agent Overview

   • Explains what DoPlan automates.
   • Prints the 18-agent hierarchy (Project Orchestrator, leads, QA, Growth, Docs, etc.).

3. Support Mode Selection

   • Choose Guided Mode (check-ins after each /done) or Independent Mode (silent partner).
   • Saved as development_support_mode; you can change it later via /hello re-run or manual edit.

4. Command Walkthrough

   • Highlights the core workflow: /tell, /improve, /write, /change, /plan, /build, /content.
   • Explains what each command saves and how agents collaborate.

5. Optional Test Drive

   • Practice /tell, /meeting, /write, or /content without touching real files.
   • /hello narrates what would happen (IDEA saved, BRAINSTORM updates, documents generated) but discards the dry-run data.

6. Personalized Tips

   • Shares guidance aligned with your experience level (e.g., reminders for beginners, autonomy notes for advanced users).

7. Reference Pack Creation

   • Writes cheat sheets and hierarchy diagrams so you can revisit the tutorial without rerunning /hello.

8. Next Steps Prompt

   • Ends by nudging you toward /tell to capture the real project idea.

Files & Settings Created

Artifact	Path	Description
User profile	.do/system/user_profile.json	Stores user_name, user_experience_level, development_support_mode, and tutorial completion flags.
Quick reference	.do/system/QUICK_REFERENCE.md & docs/references/QUICK_REFERENCE.md	Cheat sheet summarizing commands and shortcuts.
Agent hierarchy	docs/overview/AGENT_HIERARCHY.md	Text-based tree of all 18 agents.
Command examples	docs/references/COMMAND_EXAMPLES.md	Sample prompts and expected outputs for core commands.
Tutorial notes	docs/tutorials/TUTORIAL_NOTES.md	Transcript of the onboarding session.

Already have these files? Re-running /hello overwrites them with your latest answers, which is useful when onboarding a new teammate on the same repo.

Tips & Troubleshooting

• Forgot your support mode? Check .do/system/user_profile.json or rerun /hello to switch between guided and independent.
• Need to demo commands safely? Use the test-drive prompts so no real files change.
• Multiple users on one repo? Each person can copy .do/system/QUICK_REFERENCE.md into their IDE or rerun /hello after cloning.
• Stuck during onboarding? Delete .do/system/user_profile.json and run /hello again to restart the flow.
