Installation

Claude Code is the recommended agent. Cursor, Gemini, and Codex work as well; the skills are plain markdown and don't depend on agent-specific features.

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add skiptools/skills
/plugin install skip-app-design
/plugin install skip-testing-deployment

Cursor

1. Open Cursor Settings (Cmd+Shift+J / Ctrl+Shift+J).
2. Rules & Command > Project Rules > Add Rule > Remote Rule (GitHub).
3. Enter https://github.com/skiptools/skills.git.

Skills load automatically based on the topic you ask about. There is no slash-command entry to invoke them.

Example: a TODO app in 8 prompts

These are the prompts used to build skipapp-todo. Run them in order. Each one builds on the state the previous one left.

1. Scaffold

Prompt: Create a new Skip Lite TODO app at /tmp/skipapp-todo with bundle id dev.skip.todo. Use a two-module layout: TodoApp for the UI, TodoAppModel for the data. Pass --no-build so we can inspect the generated tree first.

Loads skip-app-walkthrough and skip-project-creation. The agent runs skip init --transpiled-app --appid=dev.skip.todo skipapp-todo TodoApp TodoAppModel --no-build. The output is a Swift package with Package.swift, Sources/TodoApp/, Sources/TodoAppModel/, Darwin/, Android/, and a populated template Localizable.xcstrings.

2. Confirm the template runs

Prompt: Boot an iPhone simulator and an Android emulator. Run skip app launch. Take a screenshot from each platform.

Loads skip-ui-automation. The first build takes a few minutes because Skip resolves SkipUI, SkipFoundation, and SkipModel from source. Subsequent builds are incremental. The template Welcome view should render on both screens.

3. Replace the template UI with a real TODO list

Prompt: Replace the tab-based template with a single-screen NavigationStack: a text field at the top to add tasks, a list of tasks below with a tappable circle that toggles complete, swipe-to-delete, an overflow menu with "Clear Completed" and "Clear All", and an empty state. Use Material Symbols icons, not SF Symbols. Every interactive view needs an .accessibilityIdentifier(...).
