Quickstart

From a saved idea to a running agent in three commands.

This walks through the whole flow: connect your machine, pick an idea, and build it. It assumes you've already generated and saved at least one idea on hackspot.dev. If you haven't installed the CLI yet, see Installation — or just use npx as shown below.

Connect this machine

Run login and you'll get a 6-digit code. Enter it on the site while signed in, and the CLI is handed a token it saves locally.

npx @hackspot/cli login
  Your code:  7F3K2Q

  Open https://hackspot.dev/app/cli and enter it to connect.
  (Expires in 10 minutes.)

  Waiting for approval...
  Connected. You can now run `hackspot build <idea-id>`.

Find an idea's id

list prints your saved ideas, newest first, with the id each build takes.

npx @hackspot/cli list
  2 ideas:

  42  🚀 Pitch Coach  (fit 87)
      Real-time feedback on your demo delivery
  41  🎧 Standup Sync  (fit 79)
      Async standups that write themselves

The (fit N) is the idea's fit score for its event. Grab the id you want.

Build it

build scaffolds the project and launches your agent in it.

npx @hackspot/cli build 42
  Scaffolded "🚀 Pitch Coach" into /you/pitch-coach
    AGENTS.md  PROMPT.md  hackspot.json

  Launching claude in /you/pitch-coach …

That's it — your agent is now working from the playbook. See build for choosing the directory, picking an agent, or scaffolding without launching.
