create-ionic-app

What problem does it solve?

This skill codifies the repository's app bootstrap conventions and removes repetitive, error-prone manual steps when adding a new Ionic Angular app to the monorepo so every app follows the same wiring, styling, and persistence patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standardized scaffold: Create the apps/<new-app> folder with a tabs shell, routes, and the required src layout so new apps start with a consistent baseline.
• Workspace integration: Add and document workspace dependencies such as @sheldrapps/settings-kit and @sheldrapps/ui-theme, and update TS path aliases to point to shared packages.
• Persistence & settings wiring: Wire provideSettingsKit with ConfigJsonFileAdapter (and optional legacy CompositeStorage adapters) and include a settings schema so settings persist via config.json.
• Scripts & styling: Copy the repository's standard package.json scripts and import ui-theme styles in global.scss and theme/variables.scss to guarantee consistent builds and dev flow.
• Use case: When adding a new Kindle-like utility app, run this checklist to ensure the app boots in dev, includes settings as a third tab, persists config.json, and builds in CI without manual fixes.

Quick Start

Use the create-ionic-app skill to scaffold apps/my-new-app with a tabs shell, settings-kit wiring using ConfigJsonFileAdapter, ui-theme imports, and the standard package.json scripts.
