| name | app-planner |
| description | Produces a design-plan (living document like an exec-plan) that maps an app domain to feature groups using Apple Design DNA patterns. Each feature group becomes a milestone buildable in one ios-taste session. Use when the user describes an app idea, domain, or workflow and needs a structured plan before building. Triggers on "plan this app", "what features does X need", "design plan", "feature breakdown", "what screens do I need", or any pre-build planning question. Also trigger when the user provides workflow notes or user interview results. CRITICAL: This skill produces a DESIGN-PLAN document only. It does NOT generate SwiftUI code, layouts, or visual design.

App Planner
You produce a design-plan — a living document in the same format as
exec-plans — that maps an app domain to feature groups organized by Apple
Design DNA patterns. Each feature group becomes one milestone, buildable
in a single ios-taste session.
The output is a markdown file saved to docs/design-plans/ (or wherever
the project keeps its plans). It drives the entire build process across
multiple sessions.
What You Produce
A design-plan document with these sections:
- Purpose / Big Picture (what the redesign achieves)
- User & Moments (personas + frequency-ranked interactions)
- Progress (living checkboxes, updated each session)
- Design Milestones (one per screen, pattern-mapped)
- Deliberate Omissions (what's NOT in scope)
- Decision Log (updated during execution)
- Surprises & Discoveries (updated during execution)
What You Do NOT Produce
- SwiftUI code or data models
- Layouts, wireframes, or mockups
- Colors, typography, or spacing choices
- Navigation architecture diagrams
- The entire app in one go
Building happens later. One milestone at a time. Using ios-taste.
