App Development Skill

The Mini Dock App Skill helps an AI coding tool create and review apps for Vobot Mini Dock.

Use this page as the entry point for AI-assisted app development. For the standard Mini Dock development process, refer to:

• Getting Started
• Application Architecture
• Application Design
• Settings Reference
• Publishing Guide

What the skill helps with

• Create a Mini Dock app from a short description.
• Follow the required app structure and lifecycle functions.
• Check resource paths, button events, settings, and manifest.yml.
• Review the app before device testing or App Gallery publishing.

The skill does not replace device upload, packaging, or App Gallery review.

Install the skill

Open the skill repository:

https://github.com/myvobot/mini-dock-app-skill

Install or import it according to the Skill mechanism used by your AI coding tool. If your tool requires a local Skill folder, download or clone the repository and add it to that tool's Skills directory.

Create an app with the skill

Start from a clear app request. For example:

Use the Mini Dock App Skill to create a Vobot Mini Dock app named Countdown.
It should show a countdown timer on the LCD and support start, pause, and reset button events.

You can also ask the skill to review an app:

Use the Mini Dock App Skill to review my Mini Dock app.
Check the file structure, resource paths, manifest.yml, lifecycle functions, and upload readiness.

For apps with settings, describe the fields that users should configure:

Use the Mini Dock App Skill to add app settings for API key, city name, and refresh interval.
The settings should be compatible with the Mini Dock web configuration page.

Next steps

After the skill creates or updates the app:

1. Check the app against Application Architecture.
2. Test and install it by following Getting Started.
3. Package and submit it by following the Publishing Guide.
