tvOS Platform

tvOS-specific development for Apple TV living room experiences.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing tvOS patterns
2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest tvOS 26 docs via Context7/Exa
3. mcp__apple-docs__search_apple_docs - Check tvOS patterns

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.
