This looks good, I assume this is generated, there is so much of it ... I looked at a few spots and made a couple notes. These are probably issues with bad docs.
Bigger question: How do we maintain all of this given that implementation will change, apis will change, features will change?

[purplecabbage]

'Stage' is an Adobe internal environment. Assuming this skill is accessible externally we should remove this, or elaborate more on what Stage is and who/when/where to use it.

@purplecabbage Regarding your question - "How do we maintain all of this given that implementation will change, apis will change, features will change?" - I think we will have to keep this up to date as the App Builder ecosystem evolves. What are the areas you see are still evolving and probably change often? The developer console project creation is something that is going to be added soon to the skills. I Will reach out to discuss more in that area.

utils.js has a helper which does a bit more than this:

function getBearerToken (params) {
  if (params.__ow_headers &&
      params.__ow_headers.authorization &&
      params.__ow_headers.authorization.startsWith('Bearer ')) {
    return params.__ow_headers.authorization.substring('Bearer '.length)
  }
  return undefined
}

Overall, I think this looks good to me. I'm not an App Buillder expert, so made no real attempt to review the details, but the structure, etc. I like.

A few thoughts, don't think these need to be immediate blockers, but that I think we should eventually resolve:

• README.md is getting too big for my tastes. I think eventually this should be consolidated to just a core set of what you need to know, maybe with a table or reference doc(s) listing all the specific plugins/skills/etc. that are available. Listing every possible install command and the full entire project tree seems like overkill to me. We can of course add other reference docs for specific products/areas as needed, but having it all in the README I don't love.
• I like the _shared/ concept, but worry about how this works in practice. I think there should be a note somewhere that individual skill install is not supported because you need that shared reference material.

[pkumargaddam]

@shsteimer I will discuss your comments on README.md with the team internally. I agree with you that it has scope for improvement. For the _shared concept, I will have a note added in my next skills update. Thanks for the review.

Great work on this! We at App Builder team have been independently exploring App Builder skills for Claude Code and there's strong complementarity between the two efforts.

We have three skills focused on the high-level developer journey:

app-builder-scaffold — Generate complete projects from natural language descriptions (intent extraction → template matching → full code generation → validation)
app-builder-debug — Diagnose auth, deployment, build, runtime, and event errors with a common error catalog
app-builder-deploy — Pre-flight checks, environment/workspace management, post-deploy verification, and rollback

Would be great to collaborate and consolidate these into a single comprehensive collection. Happy to discuss how to combine — feel free to reach out or take a look at our repo. cc @pru55e11
