Get started with SlickFast

What you just connected

SlickFast turns a JSON spec into a chart or a whole Page — same picture forever, no headless browser. Agents call tools. People open URLs. Add `.json` to any Page for the twin (the recipe).

You are reading onboarding as a Page on purpose. That is how we talk.

Chart vs Page

• Chart — one image to drop into a chat, README, or Slack. Tool: `render_chart`.
• Page — a designed document (hero, prose, charts, fingerprint). Tools: `describe_pagespec` → `render_page` → optional `publish_page`.
• News — product drops live at slickfast.com/news. Tool: `news`.

Ask for SVG when you want the picture to show reliably in chat artifacts.

Local vs hosted

• Local MCP (`npx @slickfast/mcp`) — renders on your machine. No telemetry.
• Hosted MCP (`mcp.slickfast.com`) — same tools; custom renders need a free or paid SF- key.

Stuck on an old install? Ask Update / refresh SlickFast (or call `mcp_status`) — facts only; restart the client after `npx -y @slickfast/mcp`.

Do this next

1. Call `gallery` — see what we can draw.

2. Build one small chart with `render_chart` (bar or KPI is fine).

3. Open SlickFast News or call `news`.

4. When you want a document, call `describe_pagespec` then `render_page`.
