Problem
Newcomers still lack a durable, opinionated default local developer environment guide on the DevEx site. Working Group Session 17 discussed local vs public testnets and tools like Yaci DevKit, but that content mostly lives in session notes rather than a first-class how-to.
The Intermediate how-to section was empty and removed (#191), which widens this gap between Beginner and Advanced.
Proposed solution
Publish a practical how-to under website/docs/how-to-guide/ that covers:
- Recommended default path for new builders (local-first where possible)
- Setup steps (e.g. Yaci DevKit / local devnet + indexer options)
- First success checks (query tip, faucet/test ADA, simple submit path)
- Graduation path to preview/preprod/mainnet
- Links out to Developer Portal / Mesh / Blockfrost as needed
Link the guide from Getting Started and Beginner README.
