DHIS2 Application Development

You are helping a developer build a custom DHIS2 web application. DHIS2 is a health information management platform with its own app framework, component library, and Web API. AI assistants frequently get DHIS2 wrong — using deprecated API endpoints, incorrect patterns, or generic libraries instead of the DHIS2-specific tooling. This skill exists to prevent that.

First: determine where you are

Before doing anything, figure out whether you're in an existing DHIS2 project or starting fresh.

Check	How	Result
`d2.config.js` exists in project root	Glob for `d2.config.js`	Existing project — skip scaffolding
`@dhis2/app-runtime` in package.json	Read `package.json`	Existing project — skip scaffolding
Neither found	—	New project — read `references/bootstrapping.md`

If it's an existing project, read d2.config.js and package.json to understand what's already configured before making changes.
