+
+# Start Here — Conversational Front Desk
+
+Helps non-developer users find the right Merlin command/workflow for their business problem. Backed by a curated recipes file (35 hand-authored scenarios in v1.1, spanning marketing, sales, product, ops, finance, people, legal, and strategic domains) that's the single source of truth for both the CLI `/start-here` command and (later) the Workbench chat panel.
+
+## How it works
+
+User types something like:
+
+```
+/start-here preciso vender mais nos próximos 30 dias
+```
+
+Claude reads `recipes.json` from this skill folder, picks the best matching recipe by intent (`intent_pt[]` + `intent_en[]`), and responds with the recipe's friendly Portuguese text + copy-pasteable commands.
+
+If no recipe matches with reasonable confidence, Claude responds with a graceful fallback that points the user at `/plan`.
+
+The slash command is a pure markdown prompt template — no Node executable, no extra API cost beyond the user's existing Claude Code session.
+
+## File structure
+
+- `recipes.json` — the canonical list (35 recipes in v1.1; see `recipes.schema.json` for format)
+- `recipes.schema.json` — JSON Schema for ajv validation
+- `SKILL.md` — this file (skill documentation)
+
+## Adding a new recipe
+
+1. Pick an `id` (lowercase, hyphenated, unique). e.g. `email-sequence`, `vendor-negotiation`.
+2. Author 3-5 `intent_pt[]` strings — variations of how a non-dev user might phrase the question.
+3. Author 2-3 `intent_en[]` strings — for English-speaking users.
+4. Write the `answer_pt` — friendly, casual "você", concrete steps with command references. See brand voice below.
+5. List the `commands[]` in the order the user should run them. Every command must exist in `.claude/commands/` (validator will catch dangling references).
+6. Estimate `estimated_time` honestly — include "X min seus + Y min Merlin trabalhando" if relevant.
+7. Optional: `related_agents[]` (must exist in `.merlin-core/development/agents/`) and `related_skills[]` (must exist in `.merlin-core/skills/general/` or `domain/`).
+8. Validate: `node .merlin-core/tools/merlin-tools.js validate-recipes --human`. Should print `✓ recipes.json valid (N recipes)`.
+
+## Brand voice
+
+These rules are encoded in the `/start-here` prompt itself (with a pre-response 6-check), but apply equally when authoring recipe `answer_pt` strings:
+
+- Use casual "você", **never** formal "o senhor / a senhora"
+- **No engineering jargon.** No "deploy", "merge", "branch", "commit", "PR", "diff", "rollback". Use plain Portuguese: "publicar", "juntar", "versão", "salvar", "voltar".
+- Be specific with time: `"leva 20 minutos seus + 30 minutos Merlin trabalhando"`, **not** `"é rápido"`.
+- Always give a concrete next command — never just abstract advice.
+- One emoji max per response. Often zero.
+- Default to Portuguese. Mirror the user's language if they write in English/Spanish.
+- Don't apologize for limitations or condescend. Be matter-of-fact.

+## Why this skill exists
+
+Target audience is non-developer business owners / MEIs (per the 2026-04-01 audience pivot). They feel the hiring cycle pain — hire → train 12-18 months → they leave → start over — and need AI help with marketing, hiring, finance, and admin without learning what a "branch" is.
+
+The `/start-here` command is their front desk: ask in plain Portuguese, get told which `/command` to run next.
