IOS Design Workflow

iOS Design Workflow

End-to-end orchestrator for iOS app design, from initial idea to GitHub/Gitea issues.

When to Use

• Starting a new iOS app or feature
• Planning iOS UI/UX from scratch
• Need structured approach to iOS design
• Want to follow Apple HIG throughout the process

Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Requirements Gathering

Invoke: superpowers:brainstorming

Explore the idea through collaborative dialogue:

• Clarify app purpose and target users
• Identify core features and user flows
• Define success criteria
• Understand constraints (iOS versions, devices)

Phase 2: Research

Invoke: sc:research

Deep research on:

• Similar iOS apps and patterns
• Apple HIG requirements for the feature type
• SwiftUI/UIKit capabilities needed
• Third-party libraries if applicable

Phase 3: Business Specification

Invoke: sc:business-panel then sc:spec-panel

Create comprehensive specification:

• User stories with acceptance criteria
• Feature requirements document
• UI/UX flow diagrams
• Success metrics

Save to: docs/specs/{feature-name}-spec.md

Phase 4: Task Decomposition

Invoke: sc:workflow or sc:spawn

Break specification into actionable tasks:

• Identify independent work streams
• Define task dependencies
• Estimate complexity (S/M/L)
• Create parallelization strategy

Phase 5: Architecture Planning

Invoke: sc:design + ios-swiftui-generator

For each task:

• Design component architecture
• Generate SwiftUI code scaffolding
• Plan data flow and state management
• Document API contracts

Validate with: ios-design-review

Phase 6: Documentation & Issues

Actions:

1. Save all specs to docs/ directory
2. Create issues via Gitea MCP or GitHub CLI
3. Link issues to specification documents
4. Set up project board if needed

Example Usage

User: I want to build an iOS expense tracker app
