* Open `prisma-next.md` or the installed Prisma Next skills when you want agent-ready guidance inside the project.
* Change the starter contract when you are ready to model your own data.
* Open the [Prisma Next overview](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/next) when you want the concepts behind the setup.
