Does this skill automatically generate the watchOS code?

It primarily generates a detailed architectural plan and implementation roadmap first. Once you review and approve the strategy, Claude can then proceed to generate the specific code following that plan.

Does it account for different watchOS versions?

Absolutely. It maps features to specific versions (like watchOS 10 for Smart Stacks or watchOS 11 for Live Activities) based on your project's minimum deployment targets.

Can it handle legacy UIKit projects?

Yes, it analyzes existing UIKit or SwiftUI architectures to determine the best way to bridge shared logic and data layers to a modern watchOS SwiftUI target.

How does it handle data synchronization between iPhone and Watch?

The skill provides specific implementation patterns for Watch Connectivity (WCSession), SwiftData, or CloudKit to ensure data remains consistent and battery-efficient across platforms.

Mobile Development

Generates comprehensive, phased implementation plans for building standalone or companion watchOS apps from existing Apple platform projects.

About

This skill streamlines the expansion of iOS, macOS, or iPadOS applications to the Apple Watch by performing a deep analysis of existing codebases. It evaluates project architecture, identifies 'glanceable' features suitable for the wrist, checks real-time API compatibility against current watchOS documentation, and designs a multi-phase roadmap. By focusing on glanceability and battery efficiency rather than simple UI mirroring, it ensures the resulting watchOS app is a high-quality, native-feeling experience that integrates seamlessly with WidgetKit, HealthKit, and Watch Connectivity.

Key Features

Real-time API compatibility checks with specific version targeting from watchOS 9 to 11+
Feature mapping to identify high-priority glanceable actions and complications
Phased implementation roadmaps with detailed architectural diagrams and warnings
1 GitHub stars
Automated codebase analysis for architecture and state management patterns
Specialized guidance for WidgetKit, Smart Stacks, and Watch Connectivity integration

Use Cases

Adding a companion Apple Watch app to an existing SwiftUI iOS application
Migrating legacy watchOS targets to modern SwiftUI and SwiftData architectures
Designing a standalone watchOS utility using shared logic from a macOS project
