WIZARD-001: Project Creation Wizard

Overview

Create a guided project setup experience that transforms "blank canvas anxiety" into "ready to build in 60 seconds." The wizard integrates style presets, backend configuration, GitHub connection, deployment setup, and AI scaffolding into a streamlined flow.

Phase: 8 (Styles Overhaul) or standalone
Priority: HIGH (major UX improvement)
Effort: 20-28 hours
Risk: Medium (integrates multiple systems)
Dependencies: STYLE-003 (Presets), GIT-004A (GitHub OAuth), DEPLOY-001, AI-004


Background

Current State

Creating a new Noodl project:

  1. Click "New Project"
  2. Enter name
  3. Get blank canvas
  4. Manually configure everything: styling, backend, git, deployment...

Target State

A Replit/Vercel-style wizard:

  1. Choose how to start (Quick/Guided/AI)
  2. Pick style preset (or describe your app)
  3. Configure backend
  4. Connect GitHub
  5. Set up deployment
  6. (Optional) AI generates scaffold
  7. Start building with everything ready

Wizard State:

interface WizardState {
  // Basics
  projectName: string;
  description: string;

  // Style
  stylePreset: string;

  // Backend
  backendType: 'none' | 'local' | 'cloud' | 'docker';
  cloudProvider?: 'supabase' | 'pocketbase' | 'firebase' | 'directus' | 'custom';
  cloudConfig?: Record<string, string>;

  // Auth
  authType: 'none' | 'email' | 'magic-link' | 'social' | 'later';
  socialProviders?: string[];
  generateAuthUI: boolean;

  // GitHub
  gitHubEnabled: boolean;
  gitHubRepo?: {
    type: 'new' | 'existing' | 'url';
    name?: string;
    visibility?: 'public' | 'private';
    url?: string;
  };

  // Deployment
  deploymentEnabled: boolean;
  deploymentPlatform?: 'vercel' | 'netlify' | 'github-pages' | 'cloudflare';
  previewDeployments: boolean;

  // AI
  aiEnabled: boolean;
  aiApiKey?: string;
  aiGenerateComponents: boolean;
  aiGenerateSchema: boolean;
  aiGenerateSampleData: boolean;
}

interface WizardContextValue {
  state: WizardState;
  updateState: (partial: Partial<WizardState>) => void;
  currentStep: number;
  goToStep: (step: number) => void;
  nextStep: () => void;
  prevStep: () => void;
  canProceed: boolean;
  createProject: () => Promise<void>;
}

Phase 2: Integration Hooks (6-8 hrs)

Files to create:

packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/ProjectWizard/
├── hooks/
│   ├── useStylePresets.ts       # Preset loading and preview
│   ├── useGitHubSetup.ts        # GitHub OAuth and repo management

│   ├── useAIScaffold.ts         # AI generation orchestration
│   └── useProjectCreation.ts    # Final project creation

Integration Points:

// useGitHubSetup.ts
function useGitHubSetup() {
  const [isAuthenticated, setAuthenticated] = useState(false);
  const [repos, setRepos] = useState<Repository[]>([]);

  const authenticate = async () => {
    // Uses GIT-004A OAuth flow
    const token = await GitHubOAuth.authenticate();
    setAuthenticated(true);
    const userRepos = await GitHubClient.listRepos(token);
    setRepos(userRepos);
  };

  const createRepo = async (name: string, visibility: 'public' | 'private') => {
    // Uses GIT-004A repo creation
    return await GitHubClient.createRepo({ name, private: visibility === 'private' });
  };

  return { isAuthenticated, repos, authenticate, createRepo };
}

Phase 3: AI Builder Mode (4-6 hrs)

│   ├── AIComponentGenerator.ts  # Generate components
│   ├── AIPrompts.ts             # Prompt templates

AI Analysis Flow:

interface AIProjectAnalysis {
  projectType: 'webapp' | 'ecommerce' | 'content' | 'custom';
  suggestedPreset: string;
  suggestedBackend: BackendConfig;
  suggestedAuth: AuthConfig;
  schema: DatabaseSchema;
  components: ComponentSuggestion[];
  estimatedCost: number;
}

async function analyzeProject(description: string): Promise<AIProjectAnalysis> {
  const prompt = buildAnalysisPrompt(description);
  const response = await anthropic.complete(prompt);
  return parseAnalysisResponse(response);
}

Phase 4: Creation Orchestration (4-6 hrs)

Creation Pipeline:

class ProjectCreator {
  private steps: CreationStep[] = [];
  private progress: CreationProgress;

  constructor(config: WizardState) {
    // Build step list based on config
    this.steps.push(new CreateProjectStructure(config));

    }

    if (config.aiEnabled && config.aiGenerateSchema) {

    }

    if (config.aiEnabled && config.aiGenerateComponents) {

    }

    if (config.gitHubEnabled) {

      if (config.deploymentEnabled) {
        this.steps.push(new ConfigureDeployment(config));
      }

      this.steps.push(new InitialCommit());
    }
  }

  async execute(onProgress: (progress: CreationProgress) => void): Promise<Project> {
    for (const step of this.steps) {
      this.progress = {
        currentStep: step.name,
        completed: this.steps.indexOf(step),
        total: this.steps.length
      };
      onProgress(this.progress);

      await step.execute();
    }

    return this.project;
  }
}

Dependencies

Required Before WIZARD-001:

Dependency Task Status Notes
Style Presets STYLE-003 Required Preset selector integration

  • GitHub step
  • Deployment step

V4 (Add AI):

  • AI builder mode
  • AI setup step

Settings Presets

Remember wizard settings:

interface WizardPreset {
  name: string;
  settings: Partial<WizardState>;
}

// "My Standard Setup"
const preset: WizardPreset = {
  name: 'My Standard Setup',
  settings: {
    stylePreset: 'modern',
    backendType: 'local',
    authType: 'email',
    gitHubEnabled: true,
    deploymentPlatform: 'vercel'
  }
};

Team Templates

Shared templates within organizations:

  • Admin creates standard project setup
  • Team members start new projects from org template
  • Ensures consistency across team projects
