Redesign quickstart with agent-first one-command approach

[mintlify]

Summary

Redesigns the quickstart page to lead with a simple, copy-paste prompt for AI coding agents — inspired by the Orange Slice pattern of giving users a single command to get started.

What changed

• New "fastest way to start" section at the top — a single prompt to paste into Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any AI coding agent that handles CLI install, auth, scaffold, and deploy automatically
• MCP server tip prominently placed for deeper agent integration
• Manual setup preserved as a clear fallback below, with the same 5-step flow (install → auth → create → deploy → invoke)
• Invoke examples collapsed into an accordion to reduce page noise while keeping them accessible
• Next steps streamlined with direct links to MCP server, browser creation, integrations, and sample apps

Why

The original quickstart was 5 manual steps. Most Kernel users are already working with AI coding agents — leading with a one-prompt setup matches how they actually work.

Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only change that restructures the quickstart content and examples without affecting runtime code. Main risk is user confusion if the new CLI/agent instructions or command names drift from actual behavior.

Overview
Quickstart is redesigned to be agent-first. The page now opens with a copy/paste prompt intended for AI coding agents to install the CLI, run kernel login, scaffold via kernel create, and deploy.

The manual path is reorganized into a clearer step-by-step flow (install → auth → create → deploy → invoke), adds an MCP server tip, updates example commands (e.g., my-app, --env-file guidance), collapses additional invoke examples into an accordion, and streamlines Next steps plus the templates table copy.

Risk assessment: Very Low.

Evidence from the diff:

• Only quickstart.mdx changed.
• Changes are documentation/content restructuring and command examples.
• No application/runtime code, auth, infra, schema, or shared library logic was modified.

Given the limited blast radius (docs-only user guidance), this PR is safe to approve under the policy.
