A coding agent can do the whole setup for you: check your computer, create the app with the FrogBot skill, and start it. You answer its questions and approve what it wants to run. Open your coding agent in the folder where you want the app, such as your Documents folder, then paste this prompt. The agent creates the app there unless you name another folder, and asks you first if that folder is already another project.

Your coding agent checks your computer, creates the app with the FrogBot skill, and starts it.

​
What the agent does

  1. Checks that Node.js 24.21 or newer is installed, and sends you to the download page if it is not.
  2. Asks which AI provider key you have: OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. If you have none, it sends you to create an OpenAI key.
  3. Creates the app in a my-frogbot folder with create-frogbot-app, which also installs the FrogBot skill for that agent. If the folder already exists, it asks you for another name.
  4. Reads the FrogBot skill, so it knows how FrogBot apps work before it changes anything.
  5. Asks how you want to add your AI key. The key goes in the .env file inside the app folder, which the app’s .gitignore keeps out of Git. create-frogbot-app does not copy a key that is already set in the agent’s environment, so this step is still needed.
  6. Starts the app with npm run dev. If it cannot keep the app running, it tells you how to start it yourself.
  7. Tells you to open http://localhost:3000 and create your admin account. You then open Chats in the sidebar and select Create New to send your first message.

​
What your agent will ask you

Most coding agents ask before they run a command, use the internet, or keep a program running. Expect requests to:
  • Run node --version, npx create-frogbot-app@latest, and npm run dev.
  • Download packages from the internet while the app is created.
  • Keep the development server running in the background.
Allow them so the setup can finish. The agent also stops to ask which AI key you have and how you want to add it.

​
Which agent value to use

The prompt tells the agent to pick its own value for --agents. This table shows what each one installs: If the skill is missing, the prompt tells the agent to install it from GitHub with npx skills add frogbotai/frogbot --skill frogbot --yes. See Coding agents for every way to install the skill.
