Meet PWA installability criteria
SkillAI & modelspwa claude skill is a skill for AI agents that audits whether a web app meets PWA installability criteria and helps fix it. It checks HTTPS, the web app manifest, service worker registration, and icon requirements, and can prepare an app for store submission via PWA Builder.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Have a web app served over HTTPS with its source available to the agent.
Then ask your AI: use the Meet PWA installability criteria skill
What your AI can do with it
- Audit a site against PWA installability criteria: HTTPS, manifest, service worker, icons
- Add or fix a web app manifest with name, icons, start_url, and display fields
- Register a service worker that responds with 200 when offline
- Review manifest.json and icon assets, flagging missing fields, wrong sizes, and missing ma
- Explain PWA installability requirements and what manifest display modes mean for UX
- Prepare a web app for Microsoft Store or Google Play submission via PWA Builder
Getting started
- Have a web app served over HTTPS with its source available to the agent.
- Add the pwa-installability skill to the agent's available skills.
- Ask the agent to check whether the site meets PWA installability criteria.
- Follow up by requesting fixes to the manifest, service worker, or icons, or a code review of manifest.json and icon assets.
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by thedaviddias/front-end-checklist in skills/pwa-installability/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Installable PWAs appear in the browser's address bar install prompt and in app stores, giving users a native-app experience without an app store listing. Studies consistently show that installed PWAs have higher engagement and retention than browser-only equivalents — users who install spend 3× more time in the app on average.
Quick Reference
- Serve the app over HTTPS (required by browsers)
- Link a valid web app manifest with name, icons, start_url, and display
- Provide a 192×192 and 512×512 icon; add a maskable variant for Android
- Register a service worker that responds with 200 when offline
Check
Check whether this site meets the PWA installability criteria: HTTPS, valid manifest, service worker, and appropriate icons.
Fix
Add or fix the web app manifest, ensure a service worker is registered, and provide correctly sized maskable icons.
Explain
Explain what makes a web app installable as a PWA and what the manifest display modes mean for the user experience.
Code Review
Review the manifest.json and icon assets. Flag missing required fields, incorrect icon sizes, absent maskable icons, and any mismatch between start_url and the actual app root.
