What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of starting a Snap Spectacles lens project by guiding setup, scripting, preview, deployment, and first-time publishing decisions in one place.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lens Studio onboarding: Helps you choose the right version, create a project, and understand where Spectacles features live in the editor.
  • TypeScript scripting model: Explains script components, lifecycle hooks, scene objects, prefabs, and compile-order pitfalls that affect lens behavior.
  • Preview, deploy, and ship: Covers Preview Panel simulation, device deployment through USB or the mobile app, permissions, and My Lenses distribution.
  • Use case: A developer building their first Spectacles lens can use this Skill to move from blank project to device-tested lens without missing Snap-specific requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about snap-spectacles-build

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Snap Spectacles lens from start to finish?▼

To create a Snap Spectacles lens, you set up a Lens Studio project, write TypeScript script components, simulate behavior in the Preview Panel, deploy via USB or mobile app, and publish through My Lenses. This guides you from blank project to device-tested lens.

What's the best way to script lens behavior in Lens Studio for Spectacles?▼

Scripting lens behavior in Lens Studio for Spectacles requires using TypeScript script components attached to scene objects. You must manage lifecycle hooks, prefabs, and compile-order pitfalls to ensure the lens behaves correctly on the device.

Can I test a Snap Spectacles lens before publishing it to My Lenses?▼

Yes, you can test a Snap Spectacles lens before publishing by simulating interactions in the Lens Studio Preview Panel, then deploying it to your device via USB or the mobile app. This verifies behavior before submitting to My Lenses distribution.

Does Lens Studio version affect Snap Spectacles lens development?▼

Lens Studio version constraints directly affect Snap Spectacles lens development because specific versions determine available editor features and Spectacles support. Choosing the correct version during onboarding prevents compatibility issues during scripting and device deployment.

Why does my TypeScript script component fail during Lens Studio preview?▼

Your TypeScript script component may fail during Lens Studio preview due to compile-order pitfalls or incorrect scene graph structure. Verifying that script components properly reference scene objects and lifecycle hooks prevents runtime errors in the Preview Panel.
