spezi-platform-selection

Helps you choose between two template applications, sets up your development machine, and clones the appropriate starter repo.

Platform Options​

  • React Native Template App — Cross-platform (iOS, Android). Good for forms, questionnaires, chat, and lightweight integrations.
  • Spezi Template Application for Apple Platforms — iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro. For apps requiring HealthKit, SensorKit, Bluetooth, or deep Apple integration.

How It Works​

  1. Evaluates your requirements and constraints
  2. Recommends a template with reasoning
  3. Checks your development machine setup (Xcode, Node.js, etc.)
  4. Clones the chosen template to a location you specify

Output​

A cloned template repository with working navigation, theming, and project structure. All subsequent work happens inside the cloned repo.

Example​

AI:   What kind of app are you building? Does it primarily involve
      forms, questionnaires, and chat — or does it need HealthKit,
      SensorKit, Bluetooth, or deep Apple integration?

You:  It needs to read heart rate and step data from Apple Watch
      and connect to a Bluetooth blood pressure cuff

AI:   Those require HealthKit and CoreBluetooth, which are only
      available natively on Apple platforms. I'd recommend the
      Spezi Template Application.

      Let me check your setup — do you have Xcode installed?

You:  Yes, Xcode 16

AI:   Great. I'll clone the Spezi Template Application to your
      project directory and walk you through the structure.

Limitations​

  • Machine setup must complete before cloning
  • Switching platforms after cloning requires starting over
