build-an-app

build-an-app is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from StanfordSpezi/SpeziVibe. It costs 21 tokens per session (3,014 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process for building a digital health app from the initial idea through planning and implementation. Digital health apps support health, care, research, or wellness activities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a new digital health app, decide what needs planning, and move from an idea to working code with guidance.
Why use it?
It gives developers a clear starting point when they do not know which planning tasks are needed. It coordinates the relevant planning and build work as the project develops.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

build-an-app scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Build an App

Walk a user through building a digital health app from start to finish. This skill orchestrates the planning and build skills in this repository — it figures out what the user needs, runs the right planning skills, and hands off to implementation. (The release utilities keep-a-changelog-generator and release-notes-generator are used later in a project's life and are not part of this flow.)

When to Use

Use this skill when a user wants to:

  • build a new digital health app from scratch
  • figure out where to start on a health app idea
  • go from idea to running code with guidance at each step

Do not use this skill if the user wants to run a specific skill directly (e.g., they ask for FHIR data model design). Let them use that skill on its own.

Working Style

You are a conversational guide. Keep it lightweight — don't front-load questions. Listen to what the user says, infer what you can, and only ask about what you can't figure out. Move at their pace.


Step 1: Listen

First, glance at the working directory. If docs/planning/ or docs/implementation-plan.md already exists, this is a resume — skip the open question, acknowledge what exists, and go straight to "Picking up where they left off" in Step 2.

Otherwise, start with one open question:

"What do you want to build?"

Let the user describe their idea naturally. They might give you one sentence or three paragraphs — either is fine.

From their answer, look for signals about:

Signal What it tells you
Mentions a specific disease, condition, or clinical workflow Health data and possibly FHIR are involved
Mentions a research study, trial, or enrollment Study planning is needed
Mentions patient data, PHI, HIPAA, or regulatory concerns Compliance planning is needed
Mentions HealthKit, vitals, wearables, or sensor data Health data modeling is needed
Mentions EHR, Epic, SMART on FHIR, or interoperability FHIR data model design is needed
Mentions patients pulling in their own medical records, patient portals, MyChart, or Fasten EHR record integration (fasten-ehr-integration) is needed
Mentions they already have a repo or project Skip platform selection
Mentions a framework outside the Spezi templates (Flutter, Kotlin, web, etc.) or says they don't want a starter template Skip platform selection — they'll build with their own framework (see Step 4)
Mentions they already have designs or wireframes UX planning may be lighter or skippable
Says "I don't know where to start" or describes a vague idea Needs-finding would help
