What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the inconsistency and decision fatigue inherent in iOS UI design by providing a deterministic framework for classifying app archetypes and routing design choices to platform-specific best practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Archetype Classification: Automatically categorizes apps into six distinct archetypes (Utility, Content, Productivity, Consumer, Editorial, Tool/Pro) to drive design defaults.
  • Task Economy Validation: Provides a structured protocol to validate the necessity of UI elements, preventing feature bloat and maintaining user flow efficiency.
  • Use Case: When starting a new productivity app, use this skill to determine the appropriate tab bar style, dark mode base, and list patterns based on the Productivity archetype defaults.

Quick Start

Use the ios-design-router skill to classify my new app and provide the archetype-specific design defaults for a productivity tool.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine the best UI navigation structure for my iOS app?

To determine the best iOS UI navigation structure, classify your app into one of six defined archetypes (Utility, Content, Productivity, Consumer, Editorial, Tool/Pro) to receive deterministic design pattern defaults.

What are the iOS app archetypes used for standardizing UI design?

iOS app archetypes are six distinct categories—Utility, Content, Productivity, Consumer, Editorial, and Tool/Pro—used to route design choices to platform-specific best practices and ensure visual identity consistency.

How do I validate task economy and prevent feature bloat in SwiftUI?

To validate task economy in SwiftUI, apply a structured protocol to check the necessity of UI elements, preventing feature bloat and maintaining user flow efficiency based on your app's archetype.

Can I get design defaults for tab bar style and dark mode base in iOS?

You can get design defaults for tab bar style and dark mode base by classifying your app into a specific archetype like Productivity, which provides tailored defaults for list patterns and visual identity.

What is the best way to standardize iOS UI design across different app types?

The best way to standardize iOS UI design is using a deterministic archetype routing framework that categorizes apps into six types and applies platform-specific best practices for navigation and interaction.

Why does my iOS app design lack consistency across navigation and interaction?

iOS app design lacks consistency when not using a deterministic framework for archetype classification, leading to decision fatigue and mismatched UI design patterns across navigation and visual identity.
