Orchestrate iOS/macOS app scaffolding and optional skill adoption for existing projects. Use when users want a guided wizard that can scaffold with XcodeGen and optionally install xcode-makefiles and simple-tasks.

App Creator

Overview

Paul Solt Paul@SuperEasyApps.com 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.
