App Intents

Route App Intents implementation tasks to the correct Knowledge Contracts -- app intent declaration and parameters, app entities and queries, App Shortcuts and Siri phrases, and intent results. Use when conforming to AppIntent, declaring @Parameter, AppEnum, or parameterSummary, conforming to AppEntity or EntityQuery/EntityStringQuery, implementing displayRepresentation, conforming to AppShortcutsProvider or building an AppShortcut, authoring Siri phrases, or returning IntentResult/ReturnsValue/ProvidesDialog/OpensIntent from perform(). v1 is intent authoring only -- no legacy SiriKit (INIntent, NSUserActivity donation), no custom Siri vocabulary beyond basic phrase authoring, no Interactive Snippets, no Spotlight indexing of entities, no LiveActivityIntent specifics, and no wiring an already-authored intent into a widget's Button(intent:)/Toggle(_:isOn:intent:) -- that's widgetkit's job. Triggers on AppIntent, @Parameter, IntentParameter, AppEnum, ParameterSummary, AppEntity, EntityQuery, EntityStringQuery,

App Intents — Foundations Skill

Purpose

Route App Intents implementation tasks to the minimum required App Intents Knowledge Contracts. v1 scope is authoring an AppIntent itself -- its declaration, parameters, entities, Siri Shortcuts surface, and result -- not legacy SiriKit, not custom Siri vocabulary beyond basic phrase rules, not Interactive Snippets, not Spotlight indexing of entities, and not LiveActivityIntent specifics.

Routing

Load only the contracts relevant to the task. All paths relative to knowledge/app-intents/.

Conforming to AppIntent; declaring title/description/perform(); declaring inputs with @Parameter/IntentParameter; restricting a parameter with an AppEnum; or implementing parameterSummary/ParameterSummary -> app-intent-declaration-and-parameters.md
Conforming to AppEntity; providing an EntityQuery/EntityStringQuery and assigning defaultQuery; implementing displayRepresentation; or reasoning about disambiguation when a query returns multiple matches -> app-entities-and-queries.md
Conforming to AppShortcutsProvider; building an AppShortcut (shortTitle, systemImageName); authoring Siri phrases (\(.applicationName)); or calling updateAppShortcutParameters() -> app-shortcuts-and-siri-phrases.md
Returning IntentResult from perform(); composing ReturnsValue/ProvidesDialog/OpensIntent; or authoring the perform() body of an intent destined for a widget's Button(intent:)/Toggle(_:isOn:intent:) -> intent-results-and-widget-hookup.md

Never load more than the contracts relevant to the specific question.

Stop Conditions

Stop and report if the requested topic has no matching Knowledge Contract in knowledge/app-intents/ — do not guess or fall back to general knowledge. Legacy SiriKit donation-based intents (INIntent, NSUserActivity donation) are out of scope entirely -- superseded by App Intents, not planned as a separate domain; report that explicitly. Custom Siri vocabulary/AppShortcutOptionsCollection beyond basic phrase authoring, Interactive Snippets and other visual intent-response UI beyond ProvidesDialog, Spotlight indexing of entities, and LiveActivityIntent's specifics are deferred, not yet built (see docs/architecture/domain-map.md). Wiring an already-authored AppIntent into a widget's Button(intent:)/Toggle(_:isOn:intent:), or anything inside a widget extension's TimelineProvider/Timeline, is owned by the widgetkit domain (knowledge.widgetkit.widget-interactivity-and-deep-links) -- this Skill only routes to authoring the intent itself: its declaration, parameters, entities, Shortcuts surface, and result.
