Yuedu IOS Design

Yuedu iOS Design

Apply these guardrails to every user-facing SwiftUI change. Read the repo-root docs/design.md before substantial design work; it is the detailed source of rationale, examples, page archetypes, and review guidance.

Required Context

From the repository root, consult:

• docs/design.md for the complete design specification.
• Modules/SharedUI/DesignSystem/DesignTokens.swift for DSColor, DSFont, DSSpacing, DSLayout, DSRadius, and DSAnimation.
• Resources/zh-Hant.lproj/Localizable.strings, Resources/zh-Hans.lproj/Localizable.strings, and Resources/en.lproj/Localizable.strings for user-visible text.

Decision Order

Resolve conflicts in this order: Apple platform behavior and accessibility > explicit Yuedu conventions > contextual recommendations. Yuedu preferences are product conventions, not universal Apple HIG rules.

Hard Rules

1. Choose title mode by context:
   • Top-level scrolling destinations: .automatic or .large.
   • Pushed details and sheets: .inline.
   • Reader and immersive surfaces: context-specific.
   • .inlineLarge is a deliberate Yuedu exception only; justify it and accept its toolbar overflow behavior after testing available width and localization.
2. Route every user-visible string through localized("...") and keep zh-Hant, zh-Hans, and en synchronized.
3. Use DS* tokens for colors, semantic fonts, spacing, layout, radius, and animation. Add a missing token before use; avoid magic values. Only system-backed color and semantic font tokens adapt automatically. Validate fixed-size font and animation tokens with the Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion patterns in docs/design.md.
4. Prefer native NavigationStack, TabView, NavigationSplitView, List, Form, .sheet, Menu, Picker, ToolbarItem, contextMenu, swipeActions, and searchable behavior.
5. Prefer SF Symbols. Every icon-only control needs a localized accessibilityLabel.
6. Use official size terms: 44×44pt is the default control size. A 28×28pt minimum is only for genuinely compact controls with sufficient spacing; it does not relax the general hit region. Reader chrome and primary actions remain at least 44×44pt.
7. Support Dynamic Type through accessibility sizes, logical VoiceOver order and announced outcomes, Light/Dark and Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion, and state cues that do not rely on color alone.
8. Every data-backed screen needs empty, loading, and error states.
9. Protect reading comfort: decoration, density, transparency, motion, and backgrounds must not reduce body-text legibility.

Sheet Rules

• Put Cancel or Close leading; dismiss without saving unconfirmed changes.
• Put Done, or a clearer task-specific alternative, trailing; save or complete the task.
• Use Back only for internal sheet navigation; it must not dismiss the sheet.
• Never show Back, Cancel/Close, and Done together at one hierarchy level.
• Visible Yuedu modal chrome uses xmark and checkmark with localized accessibility labels.
• Alerts and confirmation dialogs keep textual cancel actions.

Avoid

• Dashboard, landing-page, Tailwind-like, dense web-form, or novelty-first UI.
• Hard-coded styling, text, fixed font sizes, animation durations, or magic layout values.
• Treating .inlineLarge as a universal default.
• Visual effects or controls that harm reader legibility.

Verification

Run:

ruby scripts/check_localizations.rb
git diff --check

For code changes, also run the smallest reliable build or test for the touched area.

Maintenance

Update .claude/skills/yuedu-ios-design/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/yuedu-ios-design/SKILL.md, and docs/design.md together. Keep detailed rationale and examples in docs/design.md; keep both skill files concise and byte-identical.
