0 to Google Play

Every step in NowKit is a command. You answer questions; your AI agent writes the code, edits the config, and runs the builds.

A few big commands (the green ones) run a whole sequence for you — the commands they run inline are listed as plain steps underneath. Everything else you run on its own when you need it. Read top to bottom: that's the path from clone to a live listing on Google Play.

NowKit 0-to-Google-Play flow — clone → configure → build → ship

Set up

/kit-start-setup

One guided run: rename → brand → auth → paywall → analytics → build. At the end you have your own app running on your phone — not a demo. It runs these for you:

/kit-env-check — check your machine has JDK, Android SDK, adb (run first)
/kit-change-app-id — your package name + app name
/kit-setup-theme — brand color + icon pack
/kit-setup-auth — Supabase / Firebase / none
/kit-setup-paywall — RevenueCat paywall (free apps skip)
/kit-setup-analytics — PostHog / Firebase / Crashlytics / Sentry
/kit-run-app — compile, install, launch on your device

Every nested command is also standalone. Stopped halfway, or want to change one thing later? Just run that single command — they detect what's already set and offer to keep, change, or redo it.

Build

/kit-design-app

Build your app's own screens: layout first with dummy data (you approve the look), then wire real data — Supabase / Room / your API — without touching the approved layout.

/kit-plan-monetization

Pick a pricing model, choose which features to lock, set prices, and wire the premium gates in. Runs /kit-setup-paywall first if the paywall isn't set up yet.

Ship

/kit-publish-to-play

The whole Google Play release, walked one step at a time in the order that avoids the maze (first version or update). It pulls in:

/kit-sign-release — release keystore + signed AAB
/kit-generate-legal — privacy policy + Play Data Safety, from your actual code
/kit-generate-aso — Play listing copy (title + descriptions)
/kit-generate-screenshots — Play Store screenshots
/kit-generate-landing — static landing page + the public privacy URL Play requires
/kit-generate-changelog — "What's new" notes from your git history
/kit-plan-release-analytics — a release conversion funnel, auto-wired

🎉 Google reviews it (hours to a couple of days for a first app), then it's live.

Anytime (optional)

Run any of these whenever the moment comes — none are required to ship:

/kit-setup-ai — AI features (OpenRouter, one key, 100+ models)
/kit-design-onboarding — swap the 3-page intro for a Calm / Headspace-style quiz
/kit-translate — add languages · /kit-translate-listing — translate the Play listing
/kit-setup-updates — remote config + force/soft update gate + push
/kit-setup-review-dialog — in-app Play review prompt at a trigger you choose
/kit-save-to-github — back up to your private GitHub repo
/kit-pre-register-setup — put the app on Google Play pre-registration
/kit-compile-app — compile-check · /kit-run-app — run on device
/kit-update — pull the latest kit commands + skills (your code is untouched)
