How do I check if my system is ready to build the app?

You can run the `/desktop-kit doctor` command, which will check for dependencies like Go, Wails, create-dmg, and rsvg-convert, and provide installation instructions for any missing items.

Can it handle API requests and CORS issues?

Yes, Desktop Kit can generate an API proxy handler in Go (using ServeHTTP) to help your desktop app communicate with backend services securely.

Does it require Go or Wails to be installed?

Yes. While the skill generates all the necessary code and configuration, you will need Go 1.21+ and the Wails CLI installed on your machine to build the final executable.

Does it generate icons and installers?

Yes, it generates SVG icons and DMG background templates based on your brand colors, along with shell scripts to package the final .app and .dmg files.
