The setup from every James NoCode build

My agent setup, in one paste.

The skills, guards and commands I run in every build. Your agent plans before it codes, proves it's done, remembers your project, and stays away from the dangerous stuff.

Sound familiar?

You've seen your agent do this

!It says "done", and the app is broken.
!It rewrites half your project when you asked for one button.
!It installs a package you've never heard of.
!It forgets everything you decided yesterday.
!It goes round in circles on the same failing fix.
!It pastes a secret key into your code and commits it.

None of that means the model is bad. The agent just doesn't have a setup telling it how to work. This kit is that setup.

Real output from my setup

Tap a tab. Red ones are guards: they stop the agent even when everything is on auto-approve. The rest are commands you type.

WHAT HAPPENS
What's inside

Small on purpose

Everything you install is sent to the model on every turn. A bloated setup is slower, costs more and works worse, so every piece here earns its place.

7 guards, always on

They run on their own, outside the model. Each one blocks a real mistake; none of them is just a reminder.

Guard

No recursive deletes

rm -rf and similar commands are blocked before they run.

Guard

No surprise installs

Packages you haven't approved are blocked. Curl-to-shell installs are always blocked.

Guard

No leaked keys while it writes

Live keys going into code are blocked, and so is printing your .env values.

Guard

No leaked keys at commit time

Every commit and push is scanned, and blocked if a key or a .env file is in it.

Guard

Fragile files stay untouched

Lockfiles, .git/ and migrations that already ran can't be hand-edited. And the agent can't switch off its own guards.

Guard

No quiet test edits

If a test file was changed behind your back, the tests won't run until you've seen it.

Guard

Automatic checks

Your project check runs after every edit and logs PASS or FAIL.

14 skills: the workflow, without reminding it

Skills load when they're needed, so your agent follows the workflow without you typing it out every time.

  • Plan before code · asks the questions that matter, then waits for your yes
  • Prove it's done · real evidence for every check, not "it should work"
  • Project memory · decisions, dead ends and open questions in MEMORY.md
  • Tests first · failing tests with exact values before risky logic
  • Independent review · read-only, ranked Critical / Important / Minor
  • Checkpoint and undo · a save point before risky changes, safe undo after
  • Add a package · checks a package before it's installed
  • Explain the change · plain English, plus what to try by hand
  • Stuck? Stop and explain · no more looping on the same fix
  • Fresh conversation handoff · a short handoff so a new conversation can carry on
  • Ship check · secrets, settings and payments, before you go live
  • Agent-ready prompt · turns a rough idea into a prompt with "done when" checks
  • Retro to rules · turns a repeated mistake into one rule or test
  • Skill safety check · reviews anyone else's skill before you install it

How it installs

One paste, no terminal

Unzip the kit

Put the folder anywhere you'll keep it.

Paste one prompt

Into OpenCode, with your project open.

Answer three questions

What you're building, whether it takes payments, and this project or all of them.

Approve the table

It shows exactly which files it will copy, and waits for your yes.

It installs the smallest set that fits your project. Everything is plain text you can read first.

Why this one

Built from real builds

I use it on camera

It's the setup behind the builds on James NoCode, not a pack put together to sell.

Small, not bloated

7 guards, 14 skills and 13 commands. The ones that matter, nothing that pads the count.

You can read all of it

Plain-text skills and short guard files, with no hidden code. 23 automated tests cover the guards.

Want to know why each piece works?

The kit is the setup on its own. My course, Mastering Agentic Coding, teaches the thinking behind every guard and skill and how to build your own. It also includes the kit plus step-by-step recipes for payments, sign-in, emails and deploys.

If you want both, the course is the better deal.

FAQ

Questions

I'm not a developer. Is this for me?

Yes. It's built for people who build with AI and don't read code. You install it with one paste, and every skill explains what it's doing in plain English.

Will it slow my agent down?

No. The installer only adds what your project needs. The guards are short files that run outside the model, so they don't use up its context.

Can I turn things off?

Yes. Delete a guard's file and restart OpenCode, or type /uninstall to remove the whole kit. Your agent can't turn guards off by itself; that's on purpose.

Which tools does it work with?

OpenCode gets everything. In Codex, all 14 skills work, and Codex's own approval settings stand in for the guards. I only list tools I've tested.

How do updates work?

They're free for the life of the kit. When there's a new version, you'll get an email and the download in your account is updated.

I already bought the course. Do I need this?

No. The kit is included in Mastering Agentic Coding, so check your course downloads.
