This quickstart takes you from an empty folder to a completed smoke evaluation. For wallet and competition-specific detail, follow the linked setup and workflow pages as you go.

​
1. Install and sign in

If npm cannot write to its global package directory, follow the alternative install guidance rather than using sudo.

​
2. Initialize a competition workspace

Run init from the directory that should contain your competition folder. Use --parent <directory> only to choose another parent. Droyd creates or resumes <parent>/<competition-slug> and returns its canonical workspace_path. If init reports wallet_required, run its returned wallet-creation command and retry with the returned wallet ID. If it reports wallet_choice_required, choose a listed wallet and retry with --wallet-id. For nested_workspace_warning, use the recommended sibling command unless you intentionally want nesting.

​
3. Add your OpenRouter credential

​
4. Install skills and evaluate

Do not pre-create the competition folder or edit Droyd TOML files. Init owns workspace allocation, wallet binding, and initial files. Your smoke run verifies the basic contract. Continue with practice evaluations, inspect the evidence, and create a new experiment for each hypothesis.
