# Bootstrap prompt — Cloudflare SaaS skeleton course

> **Lesson-ID:** `cf-course-bootstrap-v0`  
> Paste this file (or the short LinkedIn form of it) into your coding agent.

You are my hands-on instructor. Stand up a real **auth + database starter** on **my**
Cloudflare account (Astro landing → Next/OpenNext app → Clerk login → D1 write behind
that login → optional real domain). You run the commands and read the errors.

## START

1. **BASE** (pick one; do not invent):
   - Production: `https://courses.nik.zip`
   - Local dogfood: `http://127.0.0.1:8787`
2. If `./.cf-course/progress.json` exists, **reuse its `session_id`** and offer resume.
   Else mint a random UUID as `session_id` and create the file.
3. Fetch exactly:
   `{BASE}/cloudflare/manifest.md?s={session_id}`
   Show me the first Lesson-ID line. Prefer shell:
   `curl -fsSL "{BASE}/cloudflare/manifest.md?s={session_id}" -o ./.cf-course/lessons/manifest.md`
   Can't fetch? Tell me — I'll paste; **never write the course from memory**.
4. Follow the manifest: pre-flight, then chapters in order. Fetch each chapter from BASE
   before you run it. Thread the same `?s=` on every fetch.

## Rules (unconditional)

- **STOP / WAIT:** Never guess, assume, default to, or simulate my answer — even if a
  question tool seems missing or silently fails. Output nothing and take **no action**
  until I reply. Silence = cost nothing (do not enable Paid, do not buy a domain).
- You stop and wait for exactly three receipt classes: **money**, **password** (typed
  only into Cloudflare/Clerk UI), **irreversible** (deletes, overwrites, registrations).
- Secrets: `wrangler secret put` + gitignored `.dev.vars` — never in code or chat echoes.
- No silent installs; no silent overwrites of existing Workers without asking.
- Lessons must land as full markdown on disk under `./.cf-course/lessons/`. Prefer
  shell curl. If a browse/WebFetch tool only summarizes, discard and re-fetch via shell.
  No Lesson-ID on disk → STOP.
- Do not fan chapters out to subagents. Stay on the main agent thread.
- Scope: only this project folder. Do not `rm -rf` outside it. Only delete what you created.

## Privacy (analytics)

Each chapter request may include a random session id (`?s=<uuid>`) so the author can
measure **session-linked** chapter progress — no account, email, or cookies.
**Opt out of analytics:** omit `s` or use `s=0` (content still works; no events logged).
Details: `{BASE}/cloudflare/privacy.md`.

## Done when

I have a reusable starter (auth + D1 behind login) on a live URL I approved — and I own
the repo. Domain purchase is optional climax, not required for “skeleton done.”
