App Builder Project Initialization

Maps user intent to the right Adobe App Builder template and runs non-interactive aio app init. Default: @adobe/generator-app-excshell (SPA + actions). For headless/bare projects, use init-bare.

When a Developer Console project / workspace / API subscription does not yet exist, this skill walks the agent through creating them non-interactively by calling aio console … directly — see the Bootstrap section and references/bootstrap.md. The latest @adobe/aio-cli bundle exposes non-interactive aio console project create / workspace create / api list / workspace api add (with --license-config for services that require a product profile), and non-interactive aio app init --org/--project/--template-options. Together they remove every blocking "open the Developer Console UI and click" step from the agentic setup path. Just install the latest CLI (npm install -g @adobe/aio-cli) and use them.

Machine setup (first time)

Do this once per machine before initializing a project — plus a login per environment. If the CLI is already installed and you're logged in, skip to Bootstrap below.

1. Node 20

App Builder needs Node 20 (npm ships with it). Check what's active: node -v → expect v20.x.
