What problem does it solve?

Converts App Store listings into reusable ScreenShotComposer templates, enabling teams to convert references into working starter templates and keep bundled and code-backed templates in sync.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Recreate an App Store listing as a reusable template by inspecting each platform, downloading reference screenshots, and generating a bundled template package.
• Manage two backing forms — bundled file-based templates and code-backed templates — with migration paths and sidecars to preserve catalog integrity.
• Generate or select a suitable background image (landscape, arches, mesh, grain, or photography) and wire it into the template's plate fill.
• Update templates across the app repo and website by syncing changes to the ScreenShotComposer/Templates/<id>/ path and the website's skills/ folder, including a template.json sidecar.
• Integrate with the template library and builder system via Builders and copy(for:scene:), ensuring previews can be re-rendered with bin/refresh-template-previews.
