Integrate with AI Coding Agents

Use CometChat Skills to add chat to any iOS project through your AI coding agent. The skill takes an AI-first approach — your agent has a short conversation with you to understand your project and chat requirements, then writes production-grade integration code tailored to the files you already have.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Kiro, and 30+ more agents.

npx @cometchat/skills add

Use --ide <name> to target a specific IDE (e.g. --ide cursor), or --ide all to install for all supported IDEs.

Then in your IDE:

/cometchat add chat to my app

The skill detects your iOS project structure, navigation pattern, and existing auth system. It onboards you to CometChat directly in the terminal — signup, login, and app creation all via the CLI. It reads your view controllers, navigation, and components before proposing a placement, shows the plan (which files it will create, modify, and leave untouched), and waits for your approval before writing code. Credentials are saved via Secrets.swift or .xcconfig.

After the first integration, re-run /cometchat anytime to pick from the iteration menu:

• Customize look & feel — theme presets (slack / whatsapp / imessage / discord / notion) or your own brand color
• Add a feature — 40+ features including calls, reactions, polls, AI smart replies, file sharing, presence
• Customize a component — custom message bubbles, headers, composer actions, empty/loading states
• Set up production auth — replace the dev Auth Key with a server-side token endpoint
• Set up user management — server endpoints for creating/updating/deleting CometChat users
• Run diagnostics — verify, drift detection, symptom-to-cause lookup
