# First-Time Setup

## Overview

When no EXTEND.md is found, guide user through preference setup.

**BLOCKING OPERATION**: This setup MUST complete before ANY other workflow steps. Do NOT:
- Ask about content or files to publish
- Ask about themes or publishing methods
- Proceed to content conversion or publishing

ONLY ask the questions in this setup flow, save EXTEND.md, then continue.

## Setup Flow

## After Setup

1. Create directory if needed
2. Write EXTEND.md
3. Confirm: "Preferences saved to [path]"
4. Continue to Step 0 (load the saved preferences)

## EXTEND.md Template

### Single Account (Default)

```md
default_theme: [default/grace/simple/modern]
default_color: [preset name, hex, or empty for theme default]
default_publish_method: [api/browser]
default_author: [author name or empty]
need_open_comment: [1/0]
only_fans_can_comment: [1/0]
chrome_profile_path:
```

### Multi-Account

```md
default_theme: [default/grace/simple/modern]
default_color: [preset name, hex, or empty for theme default]

accounts:
  - name: [display name]
    alias: [short key, e.g. "baoyu"]
    default: true
    default_publish_method: [api/browser]
    default_author: [author name]
    need_open_comment: [1/0]
    only_fans_can_comment: [1/0]
    app_id: [WeChat App ID, optional]
    app_secret: [WeChat App Secret, optional]
  - name: [second account name]
    alias: [short key, e.g. "ai-tools"]
    default_publish_method: [api/browser]
    default_author: [author name]
    need_open_comment: [1/0]
    only_fans_can_comment: [1/0]
```

## Adding More Accounts Later

After initial setup, users can add accounts by editing EXTEND.md:

1. Add an `accounts:` block with list items
2. Move per-account settings (author, publish method, comments) into each account entry
3. Keep global settings (theme, color) at the top level
4. Each account needs a unique `alias` (used for CLI `--account` arg and Chrome profile naming)
5. Set `default: true` on the primary account

## Modifying Preferences Later

Users can edit EXTEND.md directly or delete it to trigger setup again.
