v1.0.0Initialize a minimal SwiftUI iOS app in the current directory by generating a single `.xcodeproj` with XcodeGen (no workspaces, packages, or tests unless explicitly requested).
Installation
SwiftUI Empty App Init
Overview
Initialize a clean, single-target SwiftUI iOS app in the current directory.
The project is generated using XcodeGen to produce a single .xcodeproj, leaving developers ready to start adding features immediately.
Prerequisites
- Xcode installed and selected via
xcode-select - XcodeGen available on
PATH
If any prerequisite is missing: - Stop execution - Tell the user exactly what is missing - Do not attempt alternative scaffolding or auto-installation
Inputs
- Project name (required)
- Minimum iOS deployment target
- Optional bundle identifier (or use default)
Defaults (use without extra confirmation)
- Bundle identifier default:
com.example.<ProjectName> - Proceed immediately once required inputs are provided (do not ask extra confirmations)
Core Requirements
The resulting project must:
- Be generated via XcodeGen (do not hand-author project.pbxproj)
- Use a single .xcodeproj (no .xcworkspace)
- Contain exactly one app target
- Use the SwiftUI @main App lifecycle
- Contain a minimal ContentView placeholder
- Contain a minimal Info.plist (avoid unnecessary scene or delegate keys)
- Contain no Swift packages
- Contain no test targets unless explicitly requested
Generation
- Create a minimal
project.ymlusing the provided inputs - Generate
YourApp.xcodeprojusing XcodeGen - Ensure the output matches all Core Requirements
Expected Structure
project.ymlYourApp.xcodeprojYourApp/(app target source files)- Optional config files only
No additional folders, packages, workspaces, scripts, or assets should be present.
Minimal Verification (fast)
- Confirm
YourApp.xcodeprojis generated successfully by XcodeGen. - Confirm the default scheme exists (e.g., via a lightweight scheme listing).
- Do not boot simulators, build, install, or launch unless explicitly requested.
Notes
- Keep the project minimal and unopinionated
- Do not add icons/scripts, packages, workspaces, or architecture scaffolding
- This skill is for app initialization only, not feature scaffolding
