concept-seed: --platform must be one of ${COMPOSITION_PLATFO

Error message

concept-seed: --platform must be one of ${COMPOSITION_PLATFORMS.join(', ')}

What it means

Thrown when --platform is provided but is not one of COMPOSITION_PLATFORMS: web, ios, android. Platform is a HARD filter: compositions needing hover/pointer do not degrade on a phone, they are excluded, so an unknown platform value would silently filter nothing. null/undefined means eligible everywhere and is allowed.

Solutions

  1. Use exactly one of: --platform web, --platform ios, --platform android.
  2. Omit --platform to keep compositions eligible on all targets.

Example fix

# before
$ node concept-seed.mjs --scope surface --platform mobile ...

# after
$ node concept-seed.mjs --scope surface --platform web ...
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

const COMPOSITION_PLATFORMS = ['web', 'ios', 'android'];
if (platform != null && !COMPOSITION_PLATFORMS.includes(platform)) {
  throw new Error(`--platform must be one of: ${COMPOSITION_PLATFORMS.join(', ')}`);
}

Type guard

function isValidPlatform(value) {
  return value == null || ['web','ios','android'].includes(value);
}

Try / catch

try {
  await seedConcepts({ scope, platform });
} catch (err) {
  if (/--platform must be one of/.test(err.message)) {
    console.error('Use --platform web|ios|android, or omit it.');
  } else throw err;
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Passing --platform with a value like 'desktop', 'mobile', 'tablet', 'mac', 'windows' — none are valid. The check is platform !== null && !COMPOSITION_PLATFORMS.includes(platform).

Common situations: Using 'desktop' or 'mobile' (the skill's project-level platform axis uses 'adaptive', but the seeder's platform filter is web/ios/android only); CLI typo.
