## Goal

I'm building a project with Polar. Help me ship end-to-end in the smallest number of steps — hackathon speed, production-safe defaults. If any step below is ambiguous or the docs snippet is incomplete, ask me what I'm trying to build before writing code.

### Install
(No canonical install command detected — see docs links below.)

### First call
(No canonical example detected — ask the LLM to write one based on the docs below.)
