What is the aiden-build skill for?

It automates the Aiden Tauri build, ensuring chmod and codesign steps are applied and supporting prep, build, dev, and DMG preparation.

What do I need before running?

Be in the Aiden project root with a src-tauri/ directory and the required tooling installed. If binaries are missing, you may be prompted to proceed.

What happens if codesign fails?

The skill captures the exact error and prompts you for next steps, rather than failing without guidance.

Aiden Build

Workflow

Ensure you are in the Aiden project root (the folder that contains src-tauri/).
Run one of these script commands:
- npx tsx skills/aiden-build/scripts/aiden-build.ts (prep + prompt for build/dev)
- npx tsx skills/aiden-build/scripts/aiden-build.ts prep
- npx tsx skills/aiden-build/scripts/aiden-build.ts build
- npx tsx skills/aiden-build/scripts/aiden-build.ts dev
- npx tsx skills/aiden-build/scripts/aiden-build.ts --uploadDMG

Notes

If the binaries are missing, ask the user whether to proceed and how to obtain them.
If codesign fails, capture the exact error and ask how to proceed.

Overview

This skill automates building the Aiden Tauri project, applying required chmod and codesign steps. It supports prep, build, dev, and Apple-darwin binary preparation to streamline workflows and keep releases consistent.

How This Skill Works

Run from the Aiden project root (the folder that contains src-tauri/). Execute one of the TSX script commands to prep, build, dev, or upload the DMG, for example: npx tsx skills/aiden-build/scripts/aiden-build.ts --uploadDMG. If binaries are missing or codesign fails, the script prompts for direction and reports the exact error to guide next steps.

When to Use It

When you are asked to build Aiden, and need the full prep, build, or dev workflow.
When you want to run Tauri build or dev for Aiden from the project root.
When you must prepare Apple-darwin binaries (DMG) before a release.
When binaries are missing and you need to decide whether to proceed.
When codesign fails and you need precise error guidance for next steps.

Quick Start

Step 1: cd into the Aiden project root (the folder containing src-tauri/).
Step 2: run a command such as npx tsx skills/aiden-build/scripts/aiden-build.ts build.
Step 3: if prompted, provide extra input or run with --uploadDMG to prepare DMG.

Best Practices

Run the skill from the Aiden project root (the folder containing src-tauri/).
Use explicit subcommands (prep, build, dev, --uploadDMG) to avoid ambiguity.
Verify binaries exist or confirm proceeding when missing.
Capture and report codesign errors with exact messages to guide troubleshooting.
Document each build and DMG upload in a changelog for release traceability.

Example Use Cases

Developer runs npx tsx skills/aiden-build/scripts/aiden-build.ts prep to set required chmod and prep files.
Engineer executes npx tsx skills/aiden-build/scripts/aiden-build.ts build to perform a full Aiden build.
Team member uses npx tsx skills/aiden-build/scripts/aiden-build.ts dev to run a development build quickly.
QA asks for a DMG; operator runs npx tsx skills/aiden-build/scripts/aiden-build.ts --uploadDMG to prepare Apple-darwin binaries.
If codesign reports an error, the tool captures the message and asks for how to proceed.
