Claiming Projects
Learn how to find projects in the marketplace and claim them for development.
The Marketplace is where you'll find available projects waiting to be built. Each project includes a PRD (Product Requirements Document) that describes what the client wants. When you find a project that interests you, you can claim it to start development.
Before claiming a project, make sure you've completed your account setup, including setting your GitHub username.
Here's what happens when you claim a project:
- Browse the Marketplace
Go to the Marketplace page to see all available projects. Each card shows the project name, creation date, and a preview of the requirements.
- Review the PRD
Click on a project to view its full PRD. This document describes the app the client wants, including features, design preferences, and any special requirements.
- Claim the Project
If you want to work on the project, click the "Claim" button. This assigns the project to you and triggers automatic provisioning.
- Wait for Provisioning
The system automatically creates your GitHub branch, adds you to the repository, and sets up your development environment. This usually takes just a few seconds.
- Start Development
Once provisioning is complete, you can clone the repository and start building. Your project appears in the "My Projects" section.
When you claim a project, you automatically receive access to:
- GitHub Repository – You're added as a collaborator with push access to your branch
- Personal Branch – A branch named after your worker pseudonym for all your changes
- GCP Project Access – Added to the project's Google Cloud Platform project
- Firebase Access – Access to the project's Firebase console and services
- Vercel Preview – Automatic preview deployments for every push to your branch
Read the entire PRD carefully before starting development. Understanding the full scope upfront helps you make better architectural decisions.
