chatgpt-app-builder
Guide developers through creating and updating ChatGPT apps. Covers the full lifecycle: brainstorming ideas against UX guidelines, bootstrapping projects, implementing tools/views, debugging, running dev servers, deploying and connecting apps to ChatGPT. Use when a user wants to create or update a ChatGPT app / MCP server for ChatGPT, or use the Skybridge framework.
npx skills add alpic-ai/skybridge --skill chatgpt-app-builder --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Creating Apps For LLMs ChatGPT apps are conversational experiences that extend ChatGPT through tools and custom UI views. They're built as MCP servers invoked during conversations. ⚠️ The app is consumed by two users at once: the **human** and the **ChatGPT LLM**. They collaborate through the view—the human interacts with it, the LLM sees its state. Internalize this before writing code: the view is your shared surface. SPEC.md keeps track of the app's requirements and design decisions. Keep it up to date as you work on the app. **No SPEC.md?** → Read [discover.md](references/discover.md) first. Nothing else until SPEC.md exists. **SPEC.md exists?** → Read SPEC.md, then follow [architecture.md](references/architecture.md) to design the change. Update SPEC.md, then read the relevant Implementation references below before writing code. **Migrating from Skybridge `< 0.36.x`?** → Read [migrate-to-v1.md](references/migrate-to-v1.md) first. Users may reference `skybridge >= 0.36.x` as v1. ## Setup 1. **Copy template** → [copy-template.md](references/copy-template.md): when starting a new project with ready SPEC.md 2. **Run locally** → [run-locally.md](references/run-locally.md): when re

What does the chatgpt-app-builder skill do?
Guide developers through creating and updating ChatGPT apps. Covers the full lifecycle: brainstorming ideas against UX guidelines, bootstrapping projects, implementing tools/views, debugging, running dev servers, deploying and connecting apps to ChatGPT. Use when a user wants to create or update a ChatGPT app / MCP server for ChatGPT, or use the Skybridge framework.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add alpic-ai/skybridge --skill chatgpt-app-builder --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From alpic-ai/skybridge, a repository with 1,961 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
