One thing to look at

5 stars5 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Route PythonIDE tasks to the correct runtime and companion skill (AppUI MiniApp, widget, scene, native modules, automation). Use when the user asks to build, fix, or choose a PythonIDE app, script, widget, game, or iOS capability workflow.

The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

PythonIDE Router

Thin routing skill for external coding agents. Load a focused companion skill before generating code.

Read First

AI one-page guide
llms-full.txt for hard rules and public API surfaces
Native capabilities schema before any import of iOS modules
Focused module page on pythonide.xin/docs when examples or Chinese scenario text help

Do not invent APIs from SwiftUI, UIKit, React, browser, tkinter, PyQt, Flask, or Streamlit memory.

Runtime Routing

Runtime	Import	Skill	Doc
AppUI MiniApp	`import appui`	`pythonide-appui`	appui-module
Home Screen widget	`import widget`	`pythonide-widget`	widget-module
2D game / scene	`import scene`	`pythonide-scene`	scene-module
Legacy UI script	`import ui`	`pythonide-automation`	ui-module
Turtle graphics	`import turtle`	`pythonide-scene`	turtle-module
Plain Python / shortcuts	stdlib + native modules	`pythonide-automation` / `pythonide-native`	ios-native

Companion Skills

Skill	Load when
`pythonide-appui`	Forms, lists, tabs, navigation, dashboards, AppUI media controls
`pythonide-native`	Permissions, sensors, photos, location, notifications, networking, keychain, device APIs
`pythonide-widget`	WidgetKit home screen widgets
`pythonide-scene`	Games, sprites, physics, frame loops, turtle
`pythonide-automation`	Shortcuts, keyboard snippets, legacy `ui`, batch scripts

Decision Rules

Default interactive app → pythonide-appui
Home Screen widget → pythonide-widget (never AppUI)
Continuous animation / game loop → pythonide-scene (never AppUI navigation)
Needs iOS capability behind UI → pythonide-appui + pythonide-native
Only scripts / Shortcut / editor helper → pythonide-automation or pythonide-native
Pythonista-compatible imperative UI → pythonide-automation (ui runtime)

AppUI + Native Pairing

When a MiniApp needs camera, photos, location, files, share, notifications, storage, or device state:

Build the shell with pythonide-appui
Load pythonide-native for module choice, permissions, and callback-side effects
Prefer AppUI bridge components (PhotoPicker, CameraPicker, MapView, FileImporter, ShareLink, VideoPlayer) before imperative modules when the UI is inline
Never call native APIs from AppUI body()

Schema Entry Kinds

Route from native capabilities schema:

Kind	Meaning	Action
`module`	`import <name>`	Read module doc + `pythonide-native`
`appui_bridge`	`appui.<Component>`	Read `pythonide-appui` bridge table
`topic`	No direct import	Follow topic doc; often AppUI-first
`reference`	Docs only	Do not import

Output Contract

Deliver runnable Python for PythonIDE unless the user asks for explanation only
One primary runtime per artifact
JSON-safe data in storage / database; secrets only in keychain
Say when hardware, permission, or preview validation cannot be proven from editor context
