Design, scaffold, build, and validate a new Contentful App Framework custom app for a customer's own repository or workspace. Use when users want to create a custom app from an idea, choose App Framework locations, build a sidebar app, field editor app, page app, dialog, configuration screen, App Action, or Function-backed app, scaffold with create-contentful-app, or make a locally testable app for an organization-specific Contentful workflow. Also triggers on "build a Contentful app", "custom app from scratch", "App Framework app", "sidebar app", "field editor app", "page app", "app action", and "app function". Not for generic Contentful API examples (contentful-api), content model migrations (contentful-migration), or website integration (contentful-nextjs).

Add to SourceWeft

You will be asked to sign in first, then taken straight to this skill.

Ask your agent to install it

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent that can run commands — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this skill's install guide, shows you its source, license and scripts, and installs it with the SourceWeft CLI once you agree.

Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-contentful-skills-contentful-custom-app-from-scratch/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Install it yourself from a terminal

For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.

npx @sourceweft/cli skills install @contentful/contentful-custom-app-from-scratch

Add --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).

Upstream installer — not verified by SourceWeft

The open-source skills installer fetches the same pinned commit, but does not check the files against the hashes SourceWeft recorded.
