name: 00-mofa-studio-getting-started description: Onboard to the MoFA Studio repository, run the app and dataflows, and choose the right MoFA Studio skill. Use when setting up the workspace, building/running, or deciding which part of the system to edit (app, dataflow, UI, audio, settings, deployment, troubleshooting).

MoFA Studio Getting Started

1. Overview

Use this skill to orient in the repo and pick the next specialized skill. Keep changes small and move to the focused skill once you know the task.

2. Quick start map

1. Run the app or dataflow: see references/quickstart.md
2. Understand repo layout: see references/repo-map.md
3. Pick the focus skill:
   • Architecture and boundaries -> 01-mofa-studio-core
   • Add or change an app -> 02-mofa-studio-app-development
   • Edit Dora dataflows -> 03-mofa-studio-dataflow
   • UI layout, events, shaders -> 04-mofa-studio-ui-patterns
   • Audio pipeline -> 05-mofa-studio-audio
   • Settings/providers -> 06-mofa-studio-settings
   • Run/deploy -> 07-mofa-studio-deployment
   • Debug or investigate failures -> 08-mofa-studio-reference
   • Roadmap/refactor planning -> 99-mofa-studio-evolution

3. Guardrails

• Prefer ASCII in new files unless the target file already uses non-ASCII.
• When in doubt about dataflow naming or signals, stop and read the dataflow skill references.
• Keep app changes self-contained; avoid shell coupling beyond the documented 4 points.
