Widget Generator

Generate a complete WidgetKit widget implementation with timeline providers, size-specific views, lock screen accessory widgets, interactive elements (iOS 17+), and App Intent configuration.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

• Asks to "add widgets" or "add a widget" to their app
• Mentions "WidgetKit" or "home screen widgets"
• Wants "lock screen widgets" or "accessory widgets"
• Asks about "widget timelines" or "timeline providers"
• Wants "interactive widgets" with buttons or toggles
• Mentions "widget configuration" or "configurable widgets"
• Asks about "App Intent widgets" or "AppIntentConfiguration"
• Wants to show data on the home screen or lock screen

Pre-Generation Checks

1. Project Context Detection

• Check for existing widget extension target
• Check for an existing WidgetBundle
• Verify deployment target (iOS 17+ recommended for interactive widgets)
• Identify source file locations and project structure

2. Conflict Detection

Search for existing widget code:

Glob: **/*Widget*.swift, **/*TimelineProvider*.swift
Grep: "WidgetKit" or "TimelineProvider" or "WidgetBundle" or "WidgetConfiguration"

If an existing widget extension is found:

• Ask if the new widget should be added to the existing widget extension
• Check for an existing WidgetBundle to extend

If a WidgetBundle already exists:

• Add the new widget to the existing bundle instead of creating a new one
• Do NOT create a second @main entry point

If widget code with the same name exists:

• Ask user whether to replace or rename

3. Required Capabilities

Widgets require:

• A widget extension target (File > New > Target > Widget Extension)
• App Groups capability if sharing data between the main app and widget
• iOS 14+ for basic widgets, iOS 16+ for lock screen, iOS 17+ for interactive widgets
