SwiftUI Empty App Init
Overview
Initialize a clean, single-target SwiftUI iOS app in the current directory.
The project is generated using XcodeGen to produce a single .xcodeproj, leaving developers ready to start adding features immediately.
Prerequisites
Xcode installed and selected via
xcode-selectXcodeGen available on
PATH
If any prerequisite is missing:
Stop execution
Tell the user exactly what is missing
Do not attempt alternative scaffolding or auto-installation
Inputs
Project name (required)
Minimum iOS deployment target
Optional bundle identifier (or use default)
Defaults (use without extra confirmation)
Bundle identifier default:
com.example.<ProjectName>Proceed immediately once required inputs are provided (do not ask extra confirmations)
Core Requirements
The resulting project must:
Be generated via XcodeGen (do not hand-author
project.pbxproj)Use a single
.xcodeproj(no.xcworkspace)Contain exactly one app target
Use the SwiftUI
@main ApplifecycleContain a minimal
ContentViewplaceholderContain a minimal
Info.plist(avoid unnecessary scene or delegate keys)Contain no Swift packages
Contain no test targets unless explicitly requested
Generation
Create a minimal
project.ymlusing the provided inputsGenerate
YourApp.xcodeprojusing XcodeGenEnsure the output matches all Core Requirements
Expected Structure
project.ymlYourApp.xcodeprojYourApp/(app target source files)Optional config files only
No additional folders, packages, workspaces, scripts, or assets should be present.
Minimal Verification (fast)
Confirm
YourApp.xcodeprojis generated successfully by XcodeGen.Confirm the default scheme exists (e.g., via a lightweight scheme listing).
Do not boot simulators, build, install, or launch unless explicitly requested.
Notes
Keep the project minimal and unopinionated
Do not add icons/scripts, packages, workspaces, or architecture scaffolding
This skill is for app initialization only, not feature scaffolding
