addon.xml

The addon.xml file is used by Kodi to get information about an add-on, in this case, your wizard. There are a number of fields that can be changed inside, but only a couple are really necessary to make your wizard unique.

Example addon.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="plugin.program.openwizard" name="[COLOR limegreen][B]Open[/B][/COLOR]Wizard" version="1.0.0" provider-name="drinfernoo">
  <requires>
    <import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.1.0"/>
  </requires>
  <extension point="xbmc.python.pluginsource" library="default.py">
    <provides>executable</provides>
  </extension>
  <extension point="xbmc.service" library="startup.py" start="startup" />
  <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">
    <summary lang="en">[COLOR limegreen][B]Open[/B][/COLOR]Wizard</summary>
    <description lang="en">[COLOR limegreen][B]Open[/B][/COLOR]Wizard offers many maintenance features, selective add-on data saving, and automated build installs.</description>
    <platform>all</platform>
  </extension>
</addon>

Editing other fields besides these listed will likely break your wizard.
