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.
