app-sdk-concepts
Use when starting any grafana-app-sdk work — scaffolding a Grafana app, initializing a Grafana App Platform app, picking a deployment mode (standalone operator / grafana/apps / frontend-only), wiring app-specific config, or onboarding to the SDK. Covers grafana-app-sdk CLI install, project init per deployment mode, project layout, the schema-centric workflow (CUE kinds → generated code → reconciler/admission logic), and SpecificConfig for env-driven app configuration. Use even if the user just says "make a new app", "Grafana app platform", "kinds and watchers", "operator scaffold", or asks about apps/ inside the Grafana repo, without naming the SDK explicitly.
