| 9. Preview with `mint dev` (`http://localhost:3000`). It blocks until stopped, so run it as a background task — verify the preview loads, then stop it before continuing. | ||
| 10. Commit and push your changes. Mintlify deploys automatically on push. | ||
| 11. If I want a custom domain, run `mint add-domain <domain>`. It prints the DNS records I need to add with my domain provider — hand those to me directly, since only I can configure them at my registrar. | ||
| 12. Confirm my site is live: fetch `https://<subdomain>.mintlify.app` (find the subdomain via `mint status`) and confirm it loads, then give me the URL. Deploys take a few minutes after pushing — retry before treating a failed fetch as an error. |

shoot... i used .app instead of .site.
Since it's super tiny, while you're making the edits would you mind including this change as well?

Overview
The quickstart now leads with an AI agent path: a top-of-page tip explains that users can paste a prompt so an agent handles account creation, deployment, and later skill/MCP setup, and the page renders the new
SetupAgentPromptsnippet instead of the lighter skill/MCP-only block that used to sit before Before you begin.snippets/setup-agent-prompt.mdxis new. It wraps a copyablePrompt(copy + Cursor actions) with a 15-step playbook: validate the user’s content source, install/updatemint, login/signup and onboarding handoffs, clone the connected repo, merge or replace template content,mint devpreview, push to deploy, optional custom domain DNS, verify the live.mintlify.siteURL, install the Mintlify skill and admin MCP, and clear “needs me” vs agent-owned steps plus failure handling.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit b4ea28f.
