A tale of Skeletons and Bones
summary
Company uses a CLI called Maray that scaffolds runnable skeleton apps and injects reusable "bones" (views, view models, tests, modules) via Stencil templates and YAML/JSON config. It creates files, updates existing sources with replacement insertion (e.g., registers new tab and view model), runs SwiftLint/SwiftFormat, and offers Xcode and shell plugins; demo shows creating screens and a full module instantly. Tool is open source (v3.0), cross‑platform capable, already speeds kickstarts in multiple projects though some polish remains.
