SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manual WidgetKit development involves boilerplate and configuration that slows teams down. This skill automates the creation of production-ready WidgetKit widgets, including timeline providers, entry models, size-specific views, app intents, and widget bundle registration, reducing time-to-first-run and ensuring consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates all core WidgetKit files: Widget, TimelineProvider, Entry, and Views for multiple widget families (.systemSmall, .systemMedium, .systemLarge, and lock screen accessories).
  • Supports interactive/configurable widgets via AppIntents and AppIntentConfiguration to enable user-driven widget content (iOS 17+).
  • Creates WidgetBundle registration and optional App Groups data-sharing scaffolding for synchronized main app and widget state.
  • Useful for rapid MVPs, design explorations, and production-grade widgets across iOS 17+.

Quick Start

Provide the widget name and desired options, and this skill will generate a complete WidgetKit extension with all necessary files.
