Reference Notes: The 5-Minute Guide to Getting the Most Out of Starchild

Source article title: The 5-Minute Guide to Getting the Most Out of Starchild
Purpose of this local note: keep the key guidance inside the user-onboarding skill so agents can use it without fetching the web page again.


Core framing

  • Starchild should be presented as a practical, outcome-first agent: powerful intern + assistant, not a feature list.
  • User outcome matters more than model/tool details.
  • Better results come from clearer requests and faster feedback loops.

10 practical principles (condensed)

1) Smart Routing first

  • Use /model smart to reduce unnecessary cost.
  • Simple tasks should route to cheaper/faster models, complex tasks to stronger models.

2) Prompt quality is leverage

  • Be specific and concrete.
  • Keep each message focused on one clear ask.
  • Provide key context up front to reduce back-and-forth.
  • Explicitly request output format (table, bullets, etc.).

3) Connect delivery channels early (when needed)

  • Telegram/WeChat enables mobile access + push notifications for scheduled work.
  • For team usage, Telegram groups + whitelist allow controlled multi-user collaboration.

4) Use connectors for real workflows

  • Connect external tools (e.g., Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Slack, Notion, GitHub) so the agent can execute real work in context.

5) Build and preview quickly

  • Ask for the end result directly (dashboard/tool/page), then iterate on a live preview.
  • Deploy only after the preview output meets expectations.

6) Turn repetition into skills

  • If a task repeats, search for existing skills first.
  • If no suitable skill exists, create one and reuse.

7) Keep machine health visible

  • Resource limits are real (CPU/RAM/disk).
  • Periodically check usage, clean stale files/processes, and avoid silent resource drift.

8) Wallet is a built-in capability

  • Agent wallet supports EVM + Solana flows.
  • Use policy controls and explicit verification for safety-sensitive operations.

9) Teach the agent intentionally

  • Correct mistakes explicitly.
  • Persist stable preferences/methods to memory.
  • Convert proven workflows into skills.

10) If blocked, ask directly

  • Encourage users to state desired outcome clearly.
  • Agent should search docs/tools/skills and work backward to execution.

How this maps to onboarding behavior

  • Start with a quick win, not a feature tour.
  • Ask discovery questions around repetitive pain points (frequency + annoyance).
  • Show sample output first, then schedule automation.
  • Confirm delivery channel before creating recurring pushes.
  • Save user preferences and successful workflow patterns for continuity.

Maintenance note

This file is intentionally concise and operational. Update when the product guide changes materially (routing, connectors, channel flow, scheduling, wallet safety, or onboarding sequence).
