What it does

Converts product requirements, architecture, and UX specifications into a comprehensive, phase-driven implementation guide for iOS/macOS development. The guide instructs how to set up Xcode projects, configure SwiftData, establish folder structures, and outline implementation phases with concrete code scaffolding and file templates. It outputs a single documentation file named IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md containing sections for quick start, project setup, file structure, and phased tasks.

How it works

  • Pulls inputs from docs/PRD.md, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/UX_SPEC.md, and docs/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md.
  • Verifies prerequisites presence before generating the guide:
    • PRD.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, UX_SPEC.md, DESIGN_SYSTEM.md exist.
  • Produces a structured, step-by-step guide with concrete commands, file paths, and code samples in Swift/SwiftUI context.
  • Describes the project scaffold, including folder hierarchy, model definitions, and core infrastructure patterns, using the provided architecture references as anchors.
  • Includes a Quick Start, project setup steps, dependency configuration, SwiftData configuration, file structure blueprint, and Implementation Phases with concrete actions and example code blocks.

When to use it

Use when forming a development roadmap from PRD, Architecture, and UX specs to create a runnable, scalable iOS/macOS project plan. Triggered by phrases like "generate implementation guide", "create development guide", or "write implementation steps".

What it can touch

  • Reads: docs/PRD.md, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/UX_SPEC.md, docs/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md
  • Writes: docs/IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md
  • Examples of touched concepts: project setup, SwiftData configuration, folder structure, model scaffolding, and phased development plan.

Caveats

  • Output relies on existence and consistency of input docs (PRD, ARCHITECTURE, UX_SPEC, DESIGN_SYSTEM).
  • Generated guide provides scaffolding, not compiled or runnable project by itself.
  • Content adheres to the specified SwiftData-based model scaffolding as shown in examples (User, Item) but must be adapted to actual ARCHITECTURE.md models.

About this skill
What does the implementation-guide skill do?

Generates detailed implementation guide with pseudo-code and step-by-step development instructions. Creates IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md from PRD, Architecture, and UX specs. Use when creating development roadmap.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills --skill implementation-guide --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills, a repository with 589 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
