Language Tier Guidance (v1.3.0)
Recommended: Tier 1 languages only (Python, TypeScript, JavaScript)
Starter level focuses on AI-Native development with maximum AI tool support.
| Tier | Allowed | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | ✅ Yes | Full AI support, Vibe Coding optimized |
| Tier 2 | ⚠️ Limited | Consider Dynamic level instead |
| Tier 3-4 | ❌ No | Upgrade to Dynamic/Enterprise |
Project Structure
Option A: HTML/CSS/JS
project/ ├── index.html # Main page ├── about.html # About page ├── css/ │ └── style.css # Styles ├── js/ │ └── main.js # JavaScript ├── images/ # Image files ├── docs/ # PDCA documents │ ├── 01-plan/ │ └── 02-design/ └── README.md
Option B: Next.js
project/ ├── src/ │ ├── app/ │ │ ├── layout.tsx # Common layout │ │ ├── page.tsx # Main page │ │ └── about/ │ │ └── page.tsx # About page │ └── components/ # Reusable components ├── public/ # Static files ├── docs/ # PDCA documents ├── package.json ├── tailwind.config.js └── README.md
Core Concept Explanations
HTML (Web Page Structure)
html<!-- Basic structure --> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>My Website</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css"> </head> <body> <header>Header</header> <main>Main content</main> <footer>Footer</footer> </body> </html>
CSS (Styling Web Pages)
css/* Basic styles */ body { font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; margin: 0; padding: 0; } /* Center alignment */ .container { max-width: 1200px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px; } /* Responsive (mobile support) */ @media (max-width: 768px) { .container { padding: 10px; } }
Next.js App Router (Creating Pages)
tsx// app/page.tsx - Main page export default function Home() { return ( <main className="container mx-auto p-4"> <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold"> Welcome! </h1> </main> ); } // app/about/page.tsx - About page // URL: /about export default function About() { return ( <div className="container mx-auto p-4"> <h1>About</h1> <p>I am ...</p> </div> ); }
Tailwind CSS (Quick Styling)
tsx// Frequently used classes <div className=" container // Center alignment mx-auto // Auto left/right margin p-4 // Padding 16px text-center // Center text text-xl // Large text font-bold // Bold text bg-blue-500 // Blue background text-white // White text rounded-lg // Rounded corners hover:bg-blue-600 // Color change on hover ">
Deployment Methods
GitHub Pages (Free)
1. Create GitHub repository 2. Push code 3. Settings → Pages → Source: main branch 4. Access at https://username.github.io/repo-name
Vercel (Recommended for Next.js)
1. Sign up at vercel.com (GitHub integration) 2. "New Project" → Select repository 3. Click "Deploy" 4. URL automatically generated
Limitations
❌ Login/Registration (requires server) ❌ Data storage (requires database) ❌ Admin pages (requires backend) ❌ Payment features (requires backend)
When to Upgrade
Move to Dynamic Level if you need:
→ "I need login functionality" → "I want to store data" → "I need an admin page" → "I want users to communicate with each other"
bkit Features for Starter Level (v1.5.1)
Output Style: bkit-learning (Recommended)
For the best learning experience, activate the learning output style:
/output-style bkit-learning
This provides:
- Learning points after each task explaining what you did and why
- TODO(learner) markers encouraging hands-on practice
- Concept explanations adjusted for beginner difficulty
Agent Memory (Auto-Active)
bkit agents automatically remember your learning progress across sessions.
No setup needed — your starter-guide agent uses user scope memory,
so learning context persists even across different projects.
Agent Teams
Agent Teams is not available for Starter level projects. When you upgrade to Dynamic level, you unlock 2-teammate parallel PDCA mode.
Common Mistakes
