+# quickstart.sh -- guided first-build interview (v7.29.0, design feature 3).
+#
+# `loki quickstart` is a thin orchestrator over three already-shipped pieces:
+#   1. the provider install offer (autonomy/provider-offer.sh, slice B)
+#   2. the honest cost estimator (show_prd_plan in autonomy/loki, slice A)
+#   3. cmd_start (autonomy/loki) for the actual build
+# plus one new, deterministic, offline keyword matcher over templates/.
+#
+# It NEVER reimplements the runner and NEVER fabricates a number: every figure
+# in step 4 comes from the same estimator cmd_start will run with, so the quote
+# equals the charge by construction (the slice-A honesty keystone).
+#
+# Sourcing contract (load-bearing for tests): this file defines functions ONLY.
+# It runs no top-level command and never calls `main`. autonomy/loki sources it
+# near the top so cmd_quickstart and its helpers are in scope for the dispatch
+# case. Tests source it directly, override the _qs_non_interactive predicate, and
+# stub cmd_start / provider_offer_gate to prove the composition without spending
+# or starting a build. Because it is sourced (not a subprocess), it relies on the
+# caller (autonomy/loki) for SKILL_DIR, the color vars, show_prd_plan,
+# provider_offer_gate, and cmd_start; the test harness provides stubs for those
+# it does not exercise for real.

 The flagship product of [Autonomi](https://www.autonomi.dev/). Loki Mode is a spec-driven autonomous builder with a built-in trust layer that takes any spec to a deployed product and verifies completion with evidence (quality gates plus a completion council), not just a "done" claim. Complete installation instructions for all platforms and use cases.

 ## Quick Start
 
+New here? `loki quickstart` (v7.29.0) walks you through your first build in
+four questions (setup check, one-line idea, template pick, plan review with
+a real cost estimate before anything is spent). Pressing Enter at every step
+builds the sample Todo app.
+
+```bash
+loki quickstart
+```
+
 Drop a spec -- any artifact that describes what you want built -- and Loki
 Mode takes it from spec to deployed app. Specs can be a markdown PRD, a
 GitHub issue URL, or a YAML feature description.
