# rivet-dynamic-apps

A Rivet skill that hands the agent docs and runnable examples for Dynamic Apps, so it can set up a separate backend for each user.

## What it does

The skill bundles a set of reference pages on Dynamic Apps: architecture, authentication, REST backends, routing, SQLite, workflows, frontends and static sites, deploy, logging, plus a quickstart. The agent reads the page it needs rather than guessing from memory.

Runnable code sits in the skill directory under `examples/`: `apps-core-quickstart`, `apps-hello-world`, `apps-multiplayer`, `apps-sqlite`, `apps-static-website`, `apps-workflows`. Each mirrors what the documentation embeds, so you can lift a starting point and change it.

This only pays off on a Rivet project. The skill explains the platform, it does not ship it, so anything the docs leave out stays out of the agent's answers.
