Adapty CLI Skill

Installation

npm install -g adapty

Or run without installing:

npx adapty@latest

Two modes: Setup (new users, quiz-driven) and Manage (existing users, direct commands).

Mode: Setup (New to Adapty)

The setup flow has 3 phases: Quiz → Create → Guide. Collect ALL information first, then create everything, then tell the user what to do next.

Phase 1: Quiz

Before creating anything, detect the platform and then run an interactive quiz to collect all data.

CRITICAL: You MUST use the AskUserQuestion tool for EVERY quiz question. Do NOT print questions as regular text output. Each question must be a separate AskUserQuestion tool call so the user gets an interactive input prompt. After each answer, proceed to the next AskUserQuestion. This is non-negotiable.

Step 1: Detect platform — silently glob the codebase:

PlatformGlob pattern
iOS/Swift
**/*.swift
,
**/Package.swift
,
*.xcodeproj
Android/Kotlin
**/*.kt
,
**/build.gradle.kts
Flutter
**/pubspec.yaml
(look for
flutter:
key)
React Native
**/react-native.config.js
,
**/app.json
with RN deps
Unity
**/ProjectSettings/ProjectSettings.asset
Capacitor
**/capacitor.config.ts
,
**/capacitor.config.json
KMP
**/build.gradle.kts
with
kotlin("multiplatform")

Step 2: Ask questions — use AskUserQuestion tool calls. Bundle related sub-questions into a single AskUserQuestion to minimize round-trips (e.g. app name + platforms + bundle ID = one question). Suggest defaults so the user can just confirm or pick a number. Aim for 2-3 total AskUserQuestion calls, not one per field.

Bundle into 2-3 AskUserQuestion calls:

AskUserQuestion 1: App + Products — bundle app info and product selection:

App name: [suggest from package.json, Info.plist, or AndroidManifest] Bundle ID: [suggest from detected config files] Platforms: 1. iOS only / 2. Android only / 3. Both

Products: 1. Monthly (

monthly
) / 2. Annual (
annual
) / 3. Monthly + Annual / 4. Weekly (
weekly
) / 5. Lifetime (
lifetime
) / 6. Custom

Valid

--period
values:
weekly
,
monthly
,
two_months
,
trimonthly
,
semiannual
,
annual
,
lifetime
. Do NOT use
month
,
year
,
yearly
, or any other aliases — use these exact API values. Product name prefix: [suggest based on app name, e.g. "Premium"]

After this answer, you have enough to generate store product IDs. Pre-fill them using the convention

<bundle_id>.<prefix>.<period>
and include in the next question.

AskUserQuestion 2: Store IDs + Placements + Paywall approach — confirm generated IDs and collect remaining info:

Store product IDs — these MUST match the IDs you create (or will create) in App Store Connect / Google Play Console. Confirm or edit the suggested IDs:

  • iOS:
    com.example.app.premium.monthly
    /
    com.example.app.premium.annual
  • Android product ID:
    premium_monthly
    / base plan:
    monthly-base
    (if Android)

If your iOS and Android IDs differ, enter them separately (e.g. "iOS: com.app.monthly, Android: monthly_sub / base plan: monthly-bp"). If you haven't created store products yet, these suggestions work — just use the same IDs when you set them up in App Store Connect / Google Play Console later.

Placements: 1. Onboarding (

onboarding
) / 2. Settings (
settings
) / 3. Feature gate (
feature_gate
) / 4. All of the above / 5. Custom

Paywall UI: 1. Paywall Builder (visual editor, no UI code) / 2. Custom (your own UI)

Phase 2: Create

After collecting all answers, confirm the plan with the user in a summary table, then create everything sequentially. Do NOT ask questions during creation — use collected data.

IMPORTANT: Products and paywalls cannot be fully edited after creation (period, store product IDs, base plan IDs are permanent). This is why Phase 1 confirmation is critical.

Execution order (each step uses output from previous):

  1. adapty auth login
    (if not already authenticated, check with
    adapty auth whoami
    )
  2. adapty apps create --title "..." --platform ... --apple-bundle-id/--google-bundle-id ...
    → save output:
    id
    (use as
    --app
    ),
    sdk_key
    (use in SDK), plus the default access level
    id
    and
    sdk_id
    printed after creation
  3. For each product:
    adapty products create --app <APP_ID> --title "..." --period ... --access-level-id <DEFAULT_AL_ID> --ios-product-id/--android-product-id ... [--android-base-plan-id ...]
    → save product IDs. Android subscriptions (non-lifetime) require
    --android-base-plan-id
    .
  4. adapty paywalls create --app <APP_ID> --title "..." --product-id <ID1> --product-id <ID2> ...
    → save paywall ID
  5. For each placement:
    adapty placements create --app <APP_ID> --title "..." --developer-id ... --paywall-id <PAYWALL_ID>

Print progress as you go (e.g. "Created app ✓", "Created product 'Monthly' ✓"). If a step fails, stop and ask the user how to proceed — don't retry blindly.

Phase 3: Guide (Interactive Loop)

After all entities are created, print a brief summary with key values:

Dashboard:              https://app.adapty.io
Your SDK key:           <sdk_key from apps create>
Placement developer IDs: <list of developer_ids>
Access level SDK ID:    <sdk_id from access level, e.g. "premium">

Then use AskUserQuestion to ask what they want to do next. Repeat this after each sub-guide until the user says they're done. Build the options dynamically based on their setup answers:

What do you want to do next?

  1. Integrate SDK into the codebase
  2. Configure app/products on Apple side (only if iOS)
  3. Configure app/products on Google side (only if Android)
  4. Design paywall in Paywall Builder (only if they chose Paywall Builder)
  5. I'm done for now

Option 1: SDK Integration — print the quickstart link for their platform + paywall approach, plus the key values above. Use Context7 MCP for latest SDK code examples:

resolve-library-id: "adaptyteam/adapty-docs"
query-docs: topic="<platform> <feature>"

Paywall Builder quickstarts:

  • iOS:

  • Flutter:
    https://adapty.io/docs/flutter-quickstart-paywalls.md
  • React Native:
    https://adapty.io/docs/react-native-quickstart-paywalls.md

Custom paywall quickstarts:

  • iOS:
    https://adapty.io/docs/ios-quickstart-manual.md
  • Android:
    https://adapty.io/docs/android-quickstart-manual.md
  • Flutter:
    https://adapty.io/docs/flutter-quickstart-manual.md
  • React Native:
    https://adapty.io/docs/react-native-quickstart-manual.md

Option 2: Apple side — print checklist:

  • Create subscription products in App Store Connect with IDs:
    <list ios_product_ids>
  • Adapty Dashboard → App Store Connect: upload In-App Purchase Key (.p8), enter Key ID, Issuer ID, Bundle ID, App Apple ID →
    https://adapty.io/docs/app-store-connection-configuration.md
  • App Store Connect → Server Notifications V2: set URL from Adapty Dashboard →
    https://adapty.io/docs/enable-app-store-server-notifications.md

Option 3: Google side — print checklist:

  • Create subscription products in Google Play Console with IDs:
    <list android_product_ids>
    , base plans:
    <list base_plan_ids>
  • Adapty Dashboard → Google Play: upload service account JSON key, enter Package Name →
    https://adapty.io/docs/google-play-store-connection-configuration.md
  • Google Play Console → RTDN: configure Pub/Sub topic from Adapty Dashboard →
    https://adapty.io/docs/enable-real-time-developer-notifications-rtdn.md

Option 4: Paywall Builder — link to dashboard paywalls section and guide:

https://adapty.io/docs/adapty-paywall-builder.md

After showing any option's guide, loop back — ask "What's next?" again with the same AskUserQuestion (minus completed items if user indicates they're done with a step). Stop only when user picks "I'm done."


Mode: Manage (Existing Adapty Users)

For users who already have an Adapty app and want to manage entities, see

references/cli-commands.md
for the full command reference.

Key notes:

  • All resource commands (except
    apps
    ) require
    --app <APP_ID>
    (UUID)
  • apps get <app_id>
    and
    apps update <app_id>
    use a positional arg (no
    --app
    flag)
  • All other
    get
    /
    update
    commands use a positional arg for the resource ID plus
    --app
    flag
  • All
    list
    commands support
    --page
    and
    --page-size
  • All commands support
    --json
  • Use
    --title
    (not
    --name
    ) for all entities
  • Use
    --apple-bundle-id
    /
    --google-bundle-id
    (not ios/android)

Adapty Concepts

  • Product — subscription or one-time purchase mapped to store product IDs. Has a period, grants an access level.
  • Paywall — screen showing products. Can use Paywall Builder (visual editor) or remote config (custom JSON).
  • Placement — location in app where paywall appears. Identified by
    developer_id
    . Links to one paywall per audience.
  • Access Level — permission gate (e.g. "premium"). Products grant access levels on purchase. Identified by
    sdk_id
    .
  • Audience — user segment. Different audiences at same placement can see different paywalls.
