## What it does

The skill checks an accessible site for routes and sign-in needs, iPhone-width behavior, payment flows, privacy, support links, and PWA signals. It writes `SITE_TO_IOS_AUDIT.md` and `SITE_TO_IOS_PLAN.md`, including a proposed approach, QA matrix, and release conditions.

The plan covers App Store Guideline 4.2 exposure, native features, the privacy manifest, age rating, and checks for login and payments. It also describes Capacitor and SwiftUI approaches. If the result would amount to a bookmark or unchanged website, the 4.2 gate calls for pausing and getting the user's decision; that affects the release plan.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill site-to-ios-app -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/site-to-ios-app/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/site-to-ios-app/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill site-to-ios-app -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/site-to-ios-app/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill site-to-ios-app -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/site-to-ios-app/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills site-to-ios-app
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/site-to-ios-app/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill site-to-ios-app -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --path skills/site-to-ios-app
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/site-to-ios-app/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill site-to-ios-app -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/site-to-ios-app/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- audit a site's routes before starting an iOS build
- choose between a Capacitor shell and native UI
- record Guideline 4.2 exposure and ways to address it
- plan QA for sign-in, payments, and offline behavior

## Example prompts
- Audit this site for an iOS release and write the findings.
- Choose an approach for turning our PWA into an iOS app and draft the release plan.
- Check this project for Guideline 4.2 exposure and suggest native features to add.

description: "Suede AI workflow for turning a live website, PWA, dashboard, or marketplace into an iOS app. Use when the user has a site or web app and asks to put it on the App Store, wrap it in an app, ship an iOS version, or convert a PWA to native. Produces SITE_TO_IOS_AUDIT.md and SITE_TO_IOS_PLAN.md: URL audit, shell-vs-native strategy, App Store Guideline 4.2 wrapper risk and the native value that mitigates it, current SDK, privacy manifest, age rating, login and payment checks, kids-app rules, QA matrix, and a release gate. NOT FOR: Android builds or conversions (use android-app-factory); Google Play uploads and rollouts (use suede-play-release); App Store listing, keyword, and screenshot strategy (use suede-aso)."

# Site to iOS App

## Gate policy

Every check and verdict here is advice to the user, not a control on the agent.
Run the checks, report results honestly, and complete what the user asked. A
failed gate changes the report, never the work. The one exception: a finding
that risks data loss, credential exposure, a legal or rights violation, a
payment mistake, or irreversible public damage. Pause, name the risk, give the
options, and let the user choose.

## Principle

A site becomes an iOS app when the app adds native value, behaves like iOS, and
the store listing describes what the build actually does. A web page in a frame
is a Guideline 4.2 rejection waiting to happen.

## Start here

1. Read `references/site-to-ios-runbook.md` before scaffolding or touching an
   existing wrapper.
2. Read `references/app-store-requirements.md` and re-check each dated item
   against Apple's live pages. Record what you checked and when in the plan.
3. If a URL is reachable, write `SITE_TO_IOS_AUDIT.md` from live evidence:
   URL checked and date, route map with auth needs, iPhone-width behavior, PWA
   signals, legal/support/account-deletion links, payment and sensitive flows,
   auth and session behavior, performance risks, native value opportunities,
   and the 4.2 verdict.
4. Write `SITE_TO_IOS_PLAN.md`: chosen strategy and why, native value to ship
   before release, build commands, bundle ID and signing notes, QA matrix,
   store asset and privacy work, blockers, and the release gate.

`references/worked-example.md` shows a full audit excerpt, plan excerpt, and
the verdict message. Read it when you need the expected depth.

## Strategy

Pick one route and write down why:

- **Capacitor remote shell**: the live site stays the product; web deploys
  change app behavior.
- **Capacitor bundled shell**: static or SPA assets ship in the binary; changes
  need a new App Store build unless backed by live APIs.
- **Native SwiftUI shell with WebView**: native navigation, settings, auth,
  push, share, error, and account screens around a site view.
- **Full native rebuild**: the site is mostly content, its mobile UX is weak,
  or wrapper risk is high.

## App Store 4.2 gate

Halt when the app would be a bookmark, content mirror, or unmodified website.
