Summary

Improves the CLI user experience by addressing feedback from DOC-10676, DOC-10677, and DOC-10679. The changes make the CLI more helpful and guide users through next steps with clearer messaging and actionable prompts.

Changes Made

DOC-10676: Post-scaffold next-steps checklist

  • Added comprehensive post-setup guidance with visual separators (━━━)
  • Included clear numbered steps for what to do after scaffolding completes
  • Added actionable example AI prompts users can try:
    • "Add an image gallery with transformations"
    • "Add a video player component"
    • "Implement image optimization"
  • Different messaging based on whether dev server starts automatically or needs manual start

DOC-10677: Upload preset setup clarity

  • Added clear explanation: "An unsigned upload preset allows users to upload files directly from your app."
  • Added explicit instruction: "(Set signing mode to 'Unsigned' when creating)"
  • Removed confusing line about transformations vs uploads
  • Removed redundant "Transformations will work with sample images" message

DOC-10679: AI context files explanation

  • Enhanced section title: "AI assistant configuration files created"
  • Added explanation of what the files do
  • Added "💡 How to use these files" section with practical guidance
  • Proper singular/plural handling based on actual file count (not just tool count)

Additional Improvements

  • Made "What you can do" bullets more action-oriented and aligned with documentation
  • Changed from generic advice to specific actions like "see the Cloudinary features being used"
  • Updated example prompts to showcase more varied Cloudinary features
  • Improved grammar to correctly handle singular/plural for file counts

Testing

  • ✅ Syntax validated
  • ✅ Tested with various AI tool combinations (single/multiple)
  • ✅ Tested with/without upload preset
  • ✅ Tested with/without automatic dep installation
  • ✅ Verified all messaging displays correctly

Screenshots

All three tickets have been addressed with improved messaging that guides users through setup and helps them get started quickly with actionable next steps.
