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:

• Save all specs to docs/ directory

• Create issues via Gitea MCP or GitHub CLI

• Link issues to specification documents

• Set up project board if needed

Example Usage

User: I want to build an iOS expense tracker app

Claude: [Invokes superpowers:brainstorming]

• What's the primary use case?
• Target audience?
• Key features needed? ...continues through all phases...
