 "title": "Try Starling Office in a browser to draft documents",
 "page_title": "How to try Starling Office in a browser to draft documents with Starling",
 "summary": "Open the Writer, Slides, and Sheets apps in a browser with no install.",
 "who": "A non-developer who wants to write a document, make slides, or use a spreadsheet and is curious about the Starling Office apps.",
 "problem": "Setting up a native office suite takes time, and a quick test should not require a build.",
 "outcome": "The user has opened Writer, Slides, or Sheets in a browser and made a first draft.",
 "steps": [
  "Open https://writer.starling.build/ in a browser to write a document",
  "Open https://slides.starling.build/ to make a presentation",
  "Open https://sheets.starling.build/ to work with a spreadsheet",
  "Use https://openoffice.starling.build/ to see the Office presentation"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Open https://writer.starling.build/, https://slides.starling.build/, and https://sheets.starling.build/ in a browser and check that each one loads.

  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says Office can be tried directly in the browser, but it also says the apps are actively developed and features may change, so a working test today may differ later.",

  "A built starling-engine checkout placed next to this repo",
  "A free GPU with no display manager or compositor running, for the desktop run step"
