Spezi Platform Selection
Use this skill when a user needs help choosing the right starter application and bootstrapping a new project.
Candidate Templates
Read setup-guide.md before making the recommendation.
- React Native Template App
- Spezi Template Application for Apple Platforms
The Apple Platforms template supports iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro.
Ask First
Ask concise questions that reveal whether the app is primarily:
- content, forms, scheduling, chat, or cross-platform workflow support
- deeply integrated with HealthKit, SensorKit, Bluetooth peripherals, background collection, or another Apple-native SDK
Confirm:
- who the users are
- whether cross-platform support matters at launch
- whether the app is iPhone-only or Apple-platform focused
- whether native Apple capabilities are core to product value
Decide The Platform
Read platform-decision.md before deciding.
Choose the React Native Template App when:
- cross-platform delivery matters
- the product is primarily content, questionnaires, scheduling, chat, or lightweight integrations
Choose the Spezi Template Application for Apple Platforms when:
- HealthKit, SensorKit, Bluetooth, or another Apple-native SDK is product-critical
- the app is explicitly for iPhone, iPad, or Vision Pro
- deep platform integration matters more than cross-platform reach
Prepare The Machine
After deciding on a platform, guide the user through the matching setup steps in setup-guide.md before cloning and implementation.
- For the Spezi Template Application for Apple Platforms, prefer helping the user install and validate Xcode first.
- For the React Native Template App, help the user set up a proper Expo and React Native development environment for the targets they care about.
Make sure the user is clear whether they want:
- quick experimentation on a physical device
- simulator or emulator-based development
- development builds with native capabilities
Clone The Selected Template
Use the bundled clone helper instead of writing ad hoc clone commands:
scripts/clone-template.sh rn-cs342-template <destination>scripts/clone-template.sh spezi-template <destination>
After cloning:
- inspect the cloned repository's local instructions
- inspect the cloned repository's
skills/directory if present - continue implementation inside the cloned repository rather than in this root repo
Output
End with a short summary containing:
- chosen template
- why it was selected
- machine setup steps completed or still required
- clone destination
- the next local skills or instructions to inspect in the cloned repository
