What's Missing in Standard RedwoodJS Architecture
While RedwoodJS provides a solid foundation, there's no automated onboarding to help developers discover framework-specific best practices and features.
Standard RedwoodJS Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow
Standard Flow
1
RedwoodJS is installed
2
Framework configured but setup progress not tracked
3
No guidance for framework-specific best practices
Skene Flow
1
Track RedwoodJS setup milestones (first page, API route, deployment)
2
Identify setup completion milestones
3
Send framework-specific guidance and best practices
4
Track developer progress and send advanced tips

How Skene Fixes This
The Skene setup for RedwoodJS tracks developer progress through framework setup and automatically provides guidance when milestones are reached, helping developers discover advanced features.
Implementation Comparison
Using Skene Infrastructure
Auto-managed state. Installed via Prompt.
Install via Prompt
cursor.mdc
@task: Initialize Skene.
@action: Analyze my local code, validating subscription via `npx skene login`, and generate `skene.config.ts` to implement the Framework Onboarding pattern for RedwoodJS.Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor
Generated skene.config.ts
skene.config.ts
