npx skills@latest add daveebbelaar/bama
Then ask your agent:
Clone my to-do app as a native Mac app.
Screenshot every screen, write the user stories, and build milestone 1.
Not sure where to start? Type /bama. It looks at your project and picks the next skill.
Prompts like this are faster to say than to type. Glaido turns your voice into a clean prompt right inside Claude Code, Codex, or any other app, so you never leave the flow. We make Glaido, so we are biased. It has a free plan.
1. Clone
Your agent opens the app you like and screenshots every screen. It writes a screen index.
2. Plan
It turns the screens into user stories with checkable acceptance criteria, in milestones.
3. Build
It builds one story per commit. Before each commit it snapshots every page in light and dark mode and runs the tests.
Not sure what to build? specs/ has 12 build plans for small Mac apps: a window snapper, a window switcher, a launcher, clipboard history, screenshots, a screen recorder, and more. I took them apart from Onyx, my own menu bar app. Copy one into an empty folder and tell your agent:
Build the app in window-snapper.md with BAMA.
Pick one route per agent. Two routes install every skill twice.
