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:
  1. who the users are
  2. whether cross-platform support matters at launch
  3. whether the app is iPhone-only or Apple-platform focused
  4. 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:
  1. inspect the cloned repository's local instructions
  2. inspect the cloned repository's 
    skills/
    directory if present
  3. 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
