Available templates

Scaffold a new Even Hub G2 project by cloning one of the starter templates from even-realities/evenhub-templates via degit. Unlike /quickstart (which bootstraps a blank Vite app from scratch), this skill drops the user into a template that already has the wiring they asked for — mic pipeline, image container, paginated reader, etc.

Available templates

Template	What's inside
minimal	Bare Vite + TS + SDK scaffold. Shows "Hello from G2!" on the glasses.
asr	Mic → STT pipeline with companion UI, double-tap exit. STT provider is a blank stub — user picks their own.
image	ImageContainerProperty demo with test-pattern bitmap, tap-to-redraw, event-capture layer pattern.
text-heavy	Long-form reader: pixel-accurate pagination via @evenrealities/pretext (measures each paragraph at the glyph widths LVGL uses on G2), flicker-free page turns via textContainerUpgrade, tap/swipe navigation.

How to interpret $ARGUMENTS

Arguments can arrive in any order and in many spellings. Be lenient — this is loose pattern matching, not formal parsing.

1. Split $ARGUMENTS on whitespace. Separate tokens starting with -- (or -) from non-flag tokens.
2. Normalize flag tokens: lowercase them, strip leading dashes, strip a leading with- or with prefix, strip internal dashes and underscores. Examples that must all map to the same thing:
   • --asr, --with-asr, --withasr, --ASR, -asr, --with_asr → asr
   • --image, --with-image, --withimage, --img → image
   • --text-heavy, --textheavy, --with-text-heavy, --text, --reader → text-heavy
   • --minimal, --min, --blank, --base, --empty → minimal
3. Fuzzy-match the normalized token against the available templates. Accept an exact match, a prefix match, or any template whose name contains the token. If multiple templates match, prefer the shorter one (image beats image-something). If nothing matches confidently, default to minimal and tell the user which template you picked and why.
4. The remaining non-flag tokens form the project name. Join them with spaces, then slugify: lowercase, replace whitespace/underscores with -, strip anything that isn't [a-z0-9-]. If the user provided no non-flag tokens, default to my-<template>-app (e.g. my-asr-app).
5. Derive package_id slug from the project name by removing hyphens (e.g. my-asr-app → myasrapp). The template already ships an app.json with a placeholder package_id — edit it to com.example.<slug> after degit completes.

If the user passes no flags at all (just a project name or nothing), default to minimal and mention the other options so they can rerun with the flag they actually want.

Steps

1. Interpret arguments

Apply the interpretation rules above. Print a one-line summary before running: Scaffolding <template> template → <project-dir>/. If you defaulted to minimal because the flag was ambiguous or missing, say so explicitly.

2. Fetch the template via degit

npx --yes degit even-realities/evenhub-templates/<template> <project-dir>

This pulls just the chosen template directory (no git history). Use --yes so npx doesn't prompt on first run.

3. Rename the project

Edit these files to replace placeholders with the user's project name:

• package.json — change "name" from the template default (e.g. "evenhub-asr") to the slugified project name.
• app.json — change "package_id" to com.example.<slug> and "name" to a human-readable form of the project name.

4. Install dependencies

cd <project-dir> && npm install

5. Template-specific follow-ups

• asr → Tell the user:
  • Copy .env.example to .env.local and paste their STT provider's API key into VITE_STT_API_KEY.
  • Open src/asr/stt.ts and implement startSttStream() for their chosen provider (Deepgram, AssemblyAI, Whisper, Soniox, self-hosted — their call).
  • Add a network permission to app.json with the provider's hosts in the whitelist array once they pick one. evenhub pack rejects an empty whitelist, which is why the template ships without it.
• image → Tell the user they can either keep the test-pattern generator or swap makeTestPattern for loadImageBytes in src/image/renderer.ts once they have a real asset. Remind them preprocessing is optional (the SDK handles greyscale conversion).
• text-heavy → Tell the user to replace src/sample.ts with their actual content. Pagination is driven by the container's pixel box via @evenrealities/pretext — if they resize the body, edit BODY_W / BODY_H / BODY_PAD at the top of src/main.ts and pagination re-fits automatically (no char-budget to tune).
• minimal → No follow-up.

6. Print next steps

cd <project-dir>
npm run dev                                    # start Vite dev server
npm run simulate                               # desktop simulator
npx @evenrealities/evenhub-cli qr --url http://<your-ip>:5173    # QR for real glasses
npx @evenrealities/evenhub-cli pack                              # build .ehpk for distribution

Point the user at the template's own README.md for deeper specifics (it's the authoritative doc).

Design notes

• Templates live in a separate public repo, not inside this skill suite. That's intentional: the templates evolve independently (new examples, SDK version bumps) without re-releasing the skill. The skill is a thin degit wrapper.
• Fuzzy flag matching, not strict. Users will type --withasr, --asr, --with-ASR — all of these should land on the same template. Normalize aggressively before matching.
• Do not edit the templates from this skill. If a template needs a fix, open a PR against even-realities/evenhub-templates instead.
• Prefer /quickstart for a truly blank slate. /template --minimal is close but still ships with an index.html + zoom-lock CSS + our preferred tsconfig; /quickstart runs npm create vite@latest and wires the SDK in fresh.
