Guide someone through creating their first Ignition 8.3+ module from scratch. Use when a user wants to start, create, scaffold, or "get going on" an Ignition module, asks how to begin Ignition module development, or has the Ignition SDK but doesn't know the first steps. The skill checks and installs prerequisites (JDK, Git), elicits the target Ignition version, the scopes (gateway/designer/ client), and any module dependencies in plain language, scaffolds the project with the Ignition Module Generator, wires up the build, then builds and helps install the .modl. Also covers, on request, an optional signing walkthrough that can be run later as a standalone step (generate a certificate, configure signing credentials, sign the module for distribution). Assume the author knows what Ignition is but may be new to software development AND new to Claude Code.
