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-makefilessimple-tasks
Workflow
- Collect inputs.
- Run doctor checks.
- Choose mode:
neworadopt. - In
newmode, 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 (
iosormacos) - 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-makefilessimple-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.

Plan, orchestrate, and validate deep research for nonfiction books. Use when an author has completed book architecture and needs to fill research gaps before outlining chapters. Triggers include requests to plan research, generate research prompts, validate research quality, or prepare for drafting. This skill does everything around deep research—planning, prompting, validating, synthesizing—but the actual research execution happens externally via Claude and Gemini deep research. Requires upstream documents from book-architect (Research Gaps Document, Master Architecture Document, Section Blueprints) and book-ideation (Book Concept Document).
