Instructions

# Getting Started with Axiom

Welcome! This skill helps new users discover the most relevant Axiom skills for their situation.

## How This Skill Works

1. Ask the user 2-3 targeted questions about their project
2. Provide personalized skill recommendations (3-5 skills max)
3. Show example prompts they can try immediately
4. Include a complete skill reference for browsing

## Step 1: Ask Questions

Use the AskUserQuestion tool to gather context:

### Question 1: Current Focus

```
Question: "What brings you to Axiom today?"
Header: "Focus"
Options:
- "Debugging an issue" → Prioritize diagnostic skills
- "Optimizing performance" → Prioritize profiling skills
- "Adding new features" → Prioritize reference skills
- "Code review / quality check" → Prioritize audit commands
- "Just exploring" → Show overview
```

### Question 2: Tech Stack

```
Question: "What's your primary tech stack?"
Header: "Stack"
Options:
- "SwiftUI (iOS 16+)" → SwiftUI-focused skills
- "UIKit" → UIKit-focused skills
- "Mixed SwiftUI + UIKit" → Both
- "Starting new project" → Best practices skills
```

### Question 3: Pain Points (Optional, Multi-Select)

Only ask if "Debugging an issue" was selected:

```
Question: "Which areas are you struggling with?"
Header: "Pain Points"
Multi-select: true
Options:
- "Xcode/build issues"
- "Memory leaks"
- "UI/animation problems"
- "Database/persistence"
- "Networking"
- "Concurrency/async"
- "Accessibility"
```

## Step 2: Provide Personalized Recommendations

Based on answers, recommend 3-5 skills using this matrix:

### If "Debugging an issue"

**Always recommend**: axiom:xcode-debugging (universal starting point)

**Then add based on pain points**:
- Xcode/build → xcode-debugging, axiom-build-debugging
- Memory leaks → memory-debugging, axiom-objc-block-retain-cycles
- UI/animation (SwiftUI) → swiftui-debugging, axiom-swiftui-performance
- UI/animation (UIKit) → uikit-animation-debugging, axiom-auto-layout-debugging
- Database → database-migration, axiom-
