About This Skill
This skill teaches the correct workflow for initiating CrewAI projects, from choosing the right abstraction level (LLM.call() vs Agent.kickoff() vs Crew.kickoff() vs Flow) to CLI scaffolding and configuration. It covers YAML setup for agents and tasks, wiring @CrewBase crews, writing Flows with @start/@listen decorators, and variable interpolation patterns. The skill addresses common setup issues developers face when starting new CrewAI projects, helping them select appropriate abstraction levels and properly configure their project structure. It's designed for developers who want to follow best practices and understand CrewAI architecture decisions from the start.
