Examples 2.0

[tadaspetra]

After a ton of back and forth, this flow gives results most consistently.

Outcome

By running pnpm run generate:examples, updated skills are pulled down, all example prompts are located and examples are regenerated based on those prompts.

For consistent results there is a template folder containing a minimal project for the appropriate technology (ex. Nextjs is default template + ElevenLabs UI components + heading + subheading + "demo goes here".

The setup.sh script copies the template to an example/ folder, and builds dependencies.

To fully regenerate an example, delete the example/ folder and run the command. Can generate single example using pnpm run generate:examples speech-to-text/nextjs/realtime

Key Decisions

• root level folders. This makes it so right when you land in the repo, you can see the type of examples we have, instead of having to click into the examples folder.
• folder structure being feature/language/example-name
• previous examples still in repository, but the goal is to convert all those into maintainable examples based on this, and eventually delete that folder

What else was tried

One-shotting from prompt alone

This worked, but the results varied a lot, and ran into timeouts and other issues related to just getting the project set up. (Also found a few bugs in the skills)

No Design File

The final solution has a DESIGN.md in the root. Without this the results are again varied. But DESIGN.md + the template gives relatively consistent outcomes.

Long term maintenance

1. Run the script to regenerate examples when APIs change
2. Update templates when major releases for frameworks happen (this can also be automated, but it shouldn't be very hard to do so we can do it if it becomes a headache)

A little bit of polish, and I think we're there. I'd rename from "minimal" to "quickstart" to match what we have in the docs.

@PaulAsjes I like the quickstart name :) Feels so obvious in hindsight
