# superwall-editor

A skill that lets a terminal agent build and edit Superwall paywalls, onboarding and web2app flows. Useful when the browser editor is open and you would rather stay in the agent.

## What it does

Superwall paywalls are built in a browser editor that exposes its tools over an authenticated relay. This skill drives the same surface as the MCP gateway, so every call lands in the live browser session the user has open.

You start by attaching. With `SUPERWALL_API_KEY`, an application id and a paywall id, run `scripts/sw-editor.sh expose --application-id <id> --paywall-id <id> --agent-name <agent> --open --wait` and let the user finish browser authorization. Otherwise ask for the pairing code from the editor UI and run `scripts/sw-editor.sh attach <pairing-code> --agent-name <agent>`. Once attached, list what is available with `tools` and invoke it with `call`.

The skill does not memorise tool names or signatures. The tool set lives in the browser bundle and shifts between releases, so run `tools` before calling anything you have not used this session. Pairing codes expire after roughly 10 minutes and rotate on detach, which means a stale one has to be requested again. A second client on the same session hits `session_locked` until the previous attachment is released. When the work is done, free the session with `release`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add superwall/skills --skill superwall-editor -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add superwall/skills --skill superwall-editor -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add superwall/skills --skill superwall-editor -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install superwall/skills superwall-editor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/superwall-editor/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add superwall/skills --skill superwall-editor -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/superwall/skills --path skills/superwall-editor
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add superwall/skills --skill superwall-editor -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/superwall/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/superwall-editor/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a paywall in the Superwall editor without leaving the terminal
- tweak copy and styles on an existing screen
- review an onboarding or web2app flow before launch
- take over an editor session from a pairing code
- find out which tools the current editor release exposes

## Example prompts
- Attach to the Superwall editor with this pairing code and list the tools you can run right now.
- Build the paywall for application <id> and paywall <id> via expose, then grab a screenshot after the edits.
- Update the copy and styles on the current screen, then release the session.

# Superwall Paywall Editor

Paywalls are built in a browser editor that exposes its tools over an authenticated relay. This skill drives the same surface used by the MCP gateway, so every tool runs inside the live browser session the user has open.

## When to use

- The user wants to build, edit, or review a Superwall paywall, onboarding, or web2app flow.
- The user pastes a pairing code and asks you to take over editing.
- The user asks "what tools can you run right now?" Discover them via the browser, not from memory.

## Start here: attach, then discover

Never assume a tool name or signature from memory. The browser is the source of truth and its tool set changes across releases.

For `--agent-name`, use your agent's recognized slug, such as `codex`, `claude`,
or `cursor`. Use `other` for Grok Build, Muse Code, or any agent not listed in
the [CLI reference](references/cli.md#agent-identity).

Preferred API launch flow:

1. Create an auto-expose URL: `scripts/sw-editor.sh expose --application-id <id> --paywall-id <id> --agent-name <agent> --open --wait`
2. Ask the user to complete browser authorization if prompted. The editor auto-exposes; do not ask them to click the expose button.
3. Discover what is available right now: `scripts/sw-editor.sh tools`
4. Invoke tools: `scripts/sw-editor.sh call <tool-name> --args '<json>'`

Fallback manual flow:

1. Ask the user for the **pairing code** shown in the editor UI.
2. Attach: `scripts/sw-editor.sh attach <pairing-code> --agent-name <agent>`
3. Continue with `tools` and `call`.

Full CLI reference: [references/cli.md](references/cli.md).

## How to build and edit

- Native `sw-*` elements (multiple-choice, indicator, drawer, picker, lottie, navigation): [references/native-elements.md](references/native-elements.md)
- Design standards, review checkpoints, typography, and conversion principles: [references/design.md](references/design.md)
