⚡ Quick Start

# Install FWD PRO in your project
npx @fwd-ai/pro install

# Answer 14-19 questions (depends on what you're building)
# FWD PRO sets up everything automatically

That's it! You now have:

• ✅ A team of AI experts ready to help
• ✅ Document processing tools (PDF, Word, Excel)
• ✅ Organized workspace and collaboration system
• ✅ Everything you need to start building

🔄 Keeping FWD PRO Updated

# Update to the latest version (preserves all your data)
npx @fwd-ai/pro update

Or using your package manager:

# Using pnpm
pnpm update @fwd-ai/pro

# Using npm
npm update @fwd-ai/pro

# Or force latest version
pnpm add @fwd-ai/pro@latest

Updates work like app updates - your documents, workspace, and settings are automatically preserved while system files are updated.

📊 How It Works

⚡ Expert & Command Activation (Behind the Scenes)

When you type @denny or @create, FWD PRO automatically:

1. Triggers activation rule (.cursor/rules/experts/denny.mdc or .cursor/rules/commands/create.mdc)
2. Loads expert personality + workflow patterns
3. Enforces quality standards (checklists/standards automatically loaded)
4. Expert responds with full context and domain expertise

You just type @denny or @create - the system handles the rest!

🪑 The Roundtable - Your Conference Room

Imagine a conference room with your expert team:

• Whiteboards on the wall - Project dashboard (Monday.com-style)
• Your clipboard - Action items (ticket-style, scannable)
• Expert notebooks - AI context (you never read these)
• Documents folder - Final deliverables

Your Dashboard (What YOU Read)

Read just TWO files to see everything:

1. roundtable/whiteboards.md - Project status dashboard

   • What each expert is working on
   • Current status and blockers
   • High-level overview

2. roundtable/[your-name]-checklist.md - Your action items

   • Ticket-style format (scannable!)
   • Things YOU need to do
   • Created by experts when they need you

Smart Organization

• Workspaces - AI-optimized context (experts use these, you don't!)
• Whiteboards - Human-readable dashboard (everyone reads)
• Checklist - Your tickets (clean, visual, actionable)
• Documents - Final deliverables (organized by type)

Expert Collaboration (v2.1)

Multiple specialized experts collaborate naturally:

• ✅ Group chat style - Experts discuss with each other (not sequential handoffs!)
• ✅ Research verified - All claims backed by real sources (no made-up stats)
• ✅ Token efficient - Iterate in chat before writing docs (saves money)
• ✅ Natural conversation - Just talk about your project, AI updates context
• ✅ Cross-validated - Experts check each other's work

👥 Your Expert Team

When you install FWD PRO, you get all 6 core experts plus optional domain experts:

• Genna (Chief Architect) - Vision, strategy, big-picture thinking
• Denny (Systems Architect) - Technical design and architecture
• Ada (Lead Engineer) - Implementation, testing, code review
• Lyna (External Strategy) - Fundraising, pitch decks, investor relations
• Benji (Internal Growth) - Marketing, operations, growth strategy
• Elle (Legal Counsel) - Compliance, contracts, legal guidance
• [Custom Expert] - Optional domain expert for YOUR industry

ALL experts are always available! Based on your work types, certain experts get quick-access shortcuts in the 0-your-experts/ folder, but you can @mention any expert anytime from pro-os/experts/.

Experts adapt to your communication style: professional, friendly, casual, direct, or supportive.
