Potatoverse App

Potatoverse App Generation Skill

Use this skill to scaffold a new Potatoverse app. This workflow ensures the app follows the latest architectural patterns, including SQL migrations and JSON seeding.

Prerequisites

• Read the documentation in ./docs/ for API and Lua bindings reference.
• Use the templates in ./templates/ as starting points.

Scaffolding Workflow

1. Project Initialization

Create the following directory structure:

your-app/
├── server/
│   ├── migration/    # .sql files
│   └── seed/         # .json files
├── ui/               # Frontend source (Vanilla or React)
├── public/           # Static assets (if vanilla)
├── potato.yaml
├── server.lua        # (actually saved as server/server.lua but mapped to server.lua)
└── justfile

2. Configure potato.yaml

Use templates/potato.yaml.tmpl. Ensure the following:

• slug is unique.
• capabilities include xMigrator (folder: migration) and xStaticSeeder (folder: seed).
• developer.include_files correctly maps local files to the package structure.

3. Implement server.lua

Use templates/server.lua.tmpl.

• Implement on_http(ctx) to handle routing.
• Ensure /setup endpoint calls xMigrator and xStaticSeeder.
• Use req.get_user_id() for authentication.
• Use potato.db for database operations.

4. Database Schema

• Place initial schema in server/migration/0001_initial.sql.
• Subsequent changes go in 0002_xxx.sql, etc.

5. Static Seeding

• Place initial data in server/seed/0001_xxx.json.
• The format should be matching the table names (e.g., {"Authors": [...]}).

6. UI Implementation

• Vanilla: Place files in ui/. Map ui/**/* to public in potato.yaml.
• React: Initialize a Vite/React app in ui/. Ensure build_command is set in potato.yaml and maps ui/dist/**/* to public.

Example Scaffolding Command

# (To be used by AI during execution)
# 1. mkdir app && cd app
# 2. cp {SKILL_PATH}/templates/* .
# 3. Rename and fill placeholders
