# Start Building For Startups

> Interactive discovery + implementation workflow that gathers requirements through picker-based questions (intent, scope, constraints, preferences), scans the codebase for what it can already infer, then writes an AWS architectural scaffold and implementation directly into the project. Use when the user wants to build a new app, scaffold a project, or expand/refactor an existing one on AWS — anything that calls for a structured discovery flow followed by code changes, not a one-off lookup. Do not use for: factual lookups about AWS Activate / programs / credits, requests for a single copy-paste prompt, non-AWS architectural work, or architecture advice/recommendations without code changes (see architect-for-startups).
