Your AI.
A clear way to work.

Keep what already works. Check your current setup, then choose a useful improvement: clearer results, connected tools or fewer manual steps. Our starter is optional.

Public project instructions, not a signed app. No Docker or CRM account needed. Python 3 is optional for automatic format checks.

OPTIONAL · SETUP CHECK

What already works for you?

Five areas, not a judgement of the person. Use the highest description you can demonstrate. Unknown is not zero. You can skip this check and keep your own setup.

1. Copy the test prompt. 2. Paste it into your AI. It will ask what already works and recommend only a useful optional change.

Copy → paste into your AI

Please assess my current AI setup before recommending changes. Keep my existing instructions and tools.
1. Ask which AI apps and OS I use, which persistent project instructions and numbering I already have, which integrations actually work, which workflows run automatically and what I want to improve. Ask for one completed task and how it was checked. If I report an MCP problem, ask for the exact redacted error and whether it ever worked.
2. With my permission, check only the relevant non-secret project files and available tool metadata. Do not read credentials, scan my whole computer, install anything, send messages or publish.
3. Assess five areas: execution, integrations, persistent rules, automation and result verification. Use 0–3 only when supported: 0 = no capability confirmed by the user; 1 = one basic demonstrated step; 2 = repeatable demonstrated capability; 3 = demonstrated end-to-end capability with checks. Mark unknown as unknown, never zero. Distinguish reported from independently checked. Do not calculate a total while any area is unknown. This is a working rubric, not a certification, personal rating or Club role.
4. Run a tiny optional test only if I agree: produce one useful small artifact for my chosen task in the current workspace, verify it, then give a concise result, evidence, critique, ProblemOS P/U/L/R/N and 4 numbered next actions. On the next substantive answer continue the action numbers. State whether numbering was manual or persistently checked.
5. Give a capability table with evidence and uncertainty, one bottleneck and one optional recommendation. If my current setup already works, say so. Read-only assessment must not turn into a mandatory setup.

This is a provisional self-assessment on our local 0–3 rubric, not a certification or Club role. We confirm each area with a real example before recommending an integration. No answers are sent or stored by this page. Without JavaScript use the same questions with the project owner.

Open VDAI-Start as a project. Copy this first task and send it to your AI.

First: understand your existing setup

Read existing project instructions without replacing them. Ask what tools, integrations and automation already work. Assess execution, integrations, persistent rules, automation and result verification using one real example. Mark unknowns as unknown. Recommend one optional improvement. Do not install or publish anything.

Check: a useful result, evidence, P/U/L/R/N and actions 1–4 or 1–5. The next answer continues numbering. Other AI tools must be asked to read AGENTS.md explicitly.

What does this set up?

Project instructions and a local format checker. It does not overwrite personal settings, automatically rename chats or connect your account to the team. Project identity, colour and access are assigned by the owner.
