# Live Activity Generator Generate a complete ActivityKit Live Activity implementation with Dynamic Island layouts, Lock Screen presentation, activity lifecycle management, and push-to-update support. ## When This Skill Activates Use this skill when the user: - Asks to "add Live Activities" or "add a Live Activity" - Mentions "Dynamic Island" layouts - Wants real-time status updates on the Lock Screen - Asks about "ActivityKit" or "ActivityAttributes" - Mentions "push-to-update" for live activities - Wants to show ongoing progress (delivery tracking, sports scores, timers, workouts) ## Pre-Generation Checks ### 1. Project Context Detection - [ ] Check for existing ActivityKit implementations - [ ] Check for an existing widget extension target - [ ] Verify deployment target is iOS 16.1+ - [ ] Identify source file locations ### 2. Conflict Detection Search for existing Live Activity code: ``` Glob: **/*Activity*.swift, **/*LiveActivity*.swift Grep: "ActivityKit" or "ActivityAttributes" or "ActivityConfiguration" ``` If an existing widget extension is found: - Ask if the Live Activity should be added to the existing widget bundle - Check for existing `WidgetBundle` to extend If Live A

What does the live-activity-generator skill do?
Generate ActivityKit Live Activity infrastructure with Dynamic Island layouts, Lock Screen presentation, and push-to-update support. Use when adding Live Activities to an iOS app.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills --skill live-activity-generator --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 rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills, a repository with 589 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.
