Round 1: Problem Identification
Paw (小爪): "Users want SillyTavern but get stuck on installation. Can we make it one-click?"
Kyle (小克): "Yes. Shell script that automates everything. Check for Node, clone repo, npm install."
Round 2: User Experience
Kyle: "Drafted installer script. What about error handling?"
Paw: "Clear error messages. If Node is missing, guide them to nodejs.org. Don't assume terminal knowledge."
Round 3: Distribution
Kyle: "GitHub repo ready. Should we submit to SillyTavern main repo?"
Paw: "Not yet. Let users find it organically. If it gains traction, then propose integration."
Key Takeaway: Accessibility matters. One-click > documentation.
