What it does
Turns a thread, skill, spreadsheet, or Claude/ChatGPT project into a polished, visual Agent-Native app: populated domain screens with the in-app agent working behind contextual controls. Use when a user invokes `/turn-into-app`, or asks to turn a workflow, skill, spreadsheet, or project into an app, UI, workbench, or dashboard, including from Claude or ChatGPT on the web.
Turn Into App
Give a proven workflow an Agent-Native app face and agent brain. Start with populated domain screens. Object controls send work to the agent; the object shows progress and receives the result. Avoid form-under-stepper layouts.
Host, source, and when to ask
Classify the host
- Local scaffolding needs Node.js 22.22.0 or newer (with npm/npx) and pnpm.
- Local host: a terminal, a filesystem, and a target checkout (Claude Code,
Codex, Cursor, or an Agent-Native agent that can edit files). Build the app in
that checkout with steps 1-6, unless the route is Builder hosting (below).
Never call
create_workspace_app. - Browser host: Claude or ChatGPT on the web, their web Projects, or any
runtime that cannot edit files. Do steps 1-2, then make the Dispatch handoff
in the browser-host guide, with files per
the attachment reference. Never run
npm,pnpm, ornpx, edit files, or start a server there, and never invent a Builder branch URL: report what Dispatch returned. - Decide an ambiguous host by the environment: a real working directory, terminal, and workspace mean local host. A Builder or Dispatch connector being available does not make a host a browser host.
Ask where the app runs
On an interactive local host, after the plan (step 2) and before installing, ask once: On your machine (some setup) or Hosted with Builder (a free Builder account). Skip it on browser hosts or when the route is set (by the person, a resumed run, Local File Mode, an existing workspace, or headless); where it runs says which wins.
