Integrate Apple Foundation Models into iOS apps — model selection, availability gates, prompting for the on-device model, guided generation, tool calling, Private Cloud Compute, token budgeting, locale handling, and model-version prompt updates. Use when building or reviewing Apple Intelligence / Foundation Models features in Swift or SwiftUI.
Index app content in Core Spotlight and build on-device “Ask” search with Foundation Models (CSSearchableItem, CSUserQuery, SpotlightSearchTool, search-then-summarize fallbacks, indexing progress, progressive results). Use when adding Spotlight indexing, reindex extensions, keyword/date search, or Apple Intelligence Ask over local notes/documents in Swift/SwiftUI apps.
Bootstrap a new or empty iOS/macOS app repo: XcodeGen project.yml, folder layout, ai-rules-ios (SwiftLint/SwiftFormat/Periphery), warnings-as-errors, and CI/preBuild quality wiring. Use when creating a new iOS project, starting a greenfield SwiftUI app, scaffolding project.yml from scratch, onboarding a repo that lacks .ai-rules, or when the user asks to set up lint/format/deadcode gates. For XcodeGen-only debugging of an existing spec, use xcodegen. For finishing work on an already-bootstrapped app, use ios-quality-gate.
Structure and refactor SwiftUI views for readability, reuse, and maintainability by extracting dedicated View structs, ViewModifiers, and layout helpers instead of bloated bodies or extension dumping grounds. Use when breaking down large views, improving screen clarity, creating reusable components, or reviewing SwiftUI architecture and view organization.
Run the shared ai-rules-ios quality plug-in (scripts/check.sh, format, Periphery deadcode --strict) before finishing iOS app work. Use when finishing features, refactors, removing APIs, cleanup, PRs, or Melvil/Gregor/Leio iOS changes that must stay lint-clean with zero unused code and no force unwraps.
Deprecated alias: use ios-bootstrap instead. Install ai-rules-ios and quality gates into an iOS app. Kept so older prompts that say bootstrap-ios-repo still resolve; prefer ios-bootstrap for new work.
Ship iOS apps to App Store Connect end-to-end — Xcode Cloud, ASC API metadata and screenshots, release manifests, TestFlight, and prepare-for-submission without auto-submit. Use when publishing an iOS app, setting up App Store automation, ASC API scripts, store screenshots, Xcode Cloud release workflows, or preparing a version for App Review.
Organize SwiftUI app repositories, folders, Swift packages, and architecture layers following Apple sample projects (Backyard Birds, Food Truck) and WWDC guidance. Use when scaffolding a new SwiftUI app, reorganizing features into modules, choosing MV vs ViewModel/Store layers, splitting SPM packages, structuring multiplatform targets (iOS/macOS/watchOS/widgets), wiring App/Scene entry points, or reviewing project-level architecture — not individual view bodies.
