description	Generate a new mobile app — full pipeline or code-only if PRD already exists
disable-model-invocation	true

Build a new mobile app.

If apps/<slug>/spec/prd.md already exists (created by /spec-app):

• Skip interview and PRD generation
• Go straight to Phase 1

If no PRD exists:

• Run the full spec process: follow every step in .claude/skills/spec-app/SKILL.md

User's idea: $ARGUMENTS

---

PHASE 1: PLAN

Read pipeline/plan.md — generate 9-section implementation plan.

• If testing level is Standard or Full: include Jest + testing library setup in M1
• If apps/<slug>/spec/DESIGN.md exists — follow it for all visual decisions
• Save to apps/<slug>/spec/plan.md

---

PHASE 2: BUILD MILESTONES

5 milestones sequentially. After EACH milestone, run the verify loop from pipeline/qa.md (reads testing level from apps/<slug>/spec/testing-level.txt).

---

PHASE 3: FINALIZE

If testing level is Full: after M5, read .claude/skills/testing/SKILL.md and follow EVERY step in order. Do NOT skip steps. Do NOT write your own test approach — testing SKILL.md is the source of truth.

Write to apps/<slug>/ralph/FINAL_VERDICT.md. Include testing level used.

verify.sh must exit 0 (Standard/Full) or tsc+bundle+runtime must pass (Fast) before BUILD COMPLETE.

RECOMMEND NEXT STEPS

After BUILD COMPLETE:

If Fast: recommend /test-app <slug> for thorough testing before release. If Standard: recommend /test-app <slug> for UI verification. If Full: testing already done — recommend /market-app <slug> and /release-app <slug>.
