detour-onboarding — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Step-by-step guide for integrating Detour deferred deep linking. Helps configure the dashboard, Universal Links, App Links, and mobile SDKs.
npx skills add software-mansion-labs/skills --skill detour-onboarding -a claude-codeWhat detour-onboarding does
The assistant guides the integration of Software Mansion's open-source Detour SDK. This mechanism preserves link context across App Store or Google Play downloads. On first launch, the SDK matches the install via device fingerprinting and routes straight to the target screen. When the app is already installed, direct Universal Links and App Links take over immediately.
The guide covers React Native, native Swift on iOS, Android in Kotlin/Java, and Flutter. The agent first checks the target environment and dashboard status, then walks through setting up an organization at app.godetour.dev, acquiring the App ID, and saving the publishable key. Detour automatically hosts verification files, and the dashboard provides the ready-to-use Android intent-filter snippet.
Always call clearLink() or consume the intent after navigation to prevent duplicate route changes when resuming the app. The skill advises checking generated code directly against the installed package exports because reference docs might lag behind SDK updates.
What it helps with
- handle deferred deep linking across store installations
- configure Universal Links on iOS and App Links on Android
- integrate the Detour SDK into React Native, Flutter, iOS, or Android
- route users to specific screens from inbound link parameters
Example prompts for the agent

- How do I configure Universal Links and App Links using the Detour dashboard?
- Integrate the Detour SDK into our Flutter app and handle incoming routes
