JITS Builder - Just-In-Time Software ๐Ÿš€

Build instant mini-apps from voice or text descriptions. Describe what you need, get a working tool deployed in seconds.

What is JITS?

Just-In-Time Software - the idea that you don't need to find or install tools. You describe what you need and it gets built on the spot.

"I need a timer that plays a sound after 25 minutes" "Make me a tool to split a bill between friends"
"Create a page where I can paste JSON and see it formatted"

Requirements

  • Cloudflared binary (auto-downloads to /tmp/cloudflared if missing)
  • Node.js (for serving the app)

How It Works

  1. Describe - Voice or text, explain what you want
  2. Generate - Agent builds a single-file HTML/JS/CSS app
  3. Deploy - Cloudflare tunnel makes it instantly accessible
  4. Use - Get a URL, use your tool, share it

Usage

Just ask naturally:

"Build me a pomodoro timer"
"I need a quick tool to convert CSV to JSON"
"Make a tip calculator"
"Create a color palette generator"

The agent will:

  1. Generate the HTML/JS code
  2. Save to /data/clawd/jits-apps/<name>.html
  3. Serve on a local port
  4. Create Cloudflare tunnel
  5. Return the public URL

Managing JITS Apps

# List running apps
/data/clawd/skills/jits-builder/jits.sh list

# Stop an app
/data/clawd/skills/jits-builder/jits.sh stop <name>

App Guidelines

When building JITS apps:

  1. Single file - All HTML, CSS, JS in one file
  2. No dependencies - Use vanilla JS, no external libraries
  3. Mobile-friendly - Responsive design
  4. Dark theme - Looks good, easy on eyes
  5. Self-contained - No backend/API calls needed
  6. Branded - Include "Built with JITS" badge

Example Apps

App Description
Pomodoro Timer 25/5 min work/break cycles with sound
Tip Calculator Split bills with custom tip %
JSON Formatter Paste JSON, see it pretty-printed
Color Picker Generate and copy color palettes
Countdown Timer to a specific date/event
QR Generator Text to QR code
Unit Converter Length, weight, temperature
Decision Maker Random picker for choices

Limitations

  • Single-page only - No multi-page apps
  • No backend - Client-side only, no databases
  • Temporary URLs - Tunnels expire when stopped
  • No persistence - Data doesn't survive refresh (use localStorage if needed)
