What widgetkit does

The skill handles queries about home and lock screen widget development. It returns answers in a set format: a concise summary first, followed by relevant doc paths.

Documentation is split across three files: widgetkit-overview.md covers framework basics, widgetkit-timelineentry.md explains the timeline entry protocol, and widgetkit-timelineprovider.md handles data feeding. It runs in a forked context.

Because the reference covers only overview, timeline entries, and timeline providers, queries outside these three files will not be found locally.

What it helps with

implement TimelineEntry protocol for periodic widget updates
configure TimelineProvider to supply schedule data to iOS
select suitable widget families for home and lock screens
query WidgetKit framework documentation directly inside the IDE

Example prompts for the agent

How do I implement a TimelineProvider for hourly widget updates?
Check widgetkit-timelineentry.md and explain how date entries work
What widget families are supported on the lock screen?
