App Creator

Overview

Paul Solt [email protected] Version: 0.9.8

app-creator is now an orchestrator skill.

Responsibilities:

Scaffold new projects with XcodeGen templates.
Adopt existing projects non-destructively.
Optionally install subskills:
- xcode-makefiles
- simple-tasks

Workflow

Collect inputs.
Run doctor checks.
Choose mode: new or adopt.
In new mode, scaffold app templates and run XcodeGen.
Install selected subskills (default: both).
Optionally initialize git and create a baseline commit.
Print exact next commands.

Modes

New Project

Run:

skills/app-creator/scripts/init.sh --project-mode new

Required fields in new mode:

App name
Bundle id
Platform (ios or macos)
UI framework (swiftui, uikit, appkit)
Output directory

Adopt Existing Project

Run:

skills/app-creator/scripts/init.sh --project-mode adopt

Behavior:

No scaffolding/regeneration.
Only installs selected subskills into the existing project.

Subskill install defaults

Wizard defaults to installing both:

xcode-makefiles
simple-tasks

You can opt out with:

--skip-xcode-makefiles
--skip-simple-tasks

Dry run

Use --dry-run to preview actions without mutating files.

Git onboarding

init.sh/scaffold_app.sh support:

--git-init auto|never
--git-commit prompt|always|never

Defaults:

--git-init auto
--git-commit prompt

Safety behavior:

If the target repo is already dirty before app-creator runs, auto-commit is skipped.
If there are no staged/unstaged changes after install/scaffold, no commit is created.
