## Process
### 1. Identify Integration Needs
Read the user's code or requirements to determine:
- What actions should be exposed to Siri/Shortcuts
- What content should be searchable in Spotlight
- Whether interactive snippets are needed for Siri results
- Whether the intent needs foreground UI or can run in background
- Target platform and minimum OS version
### 2. Load Relevant Reference Files
Based on the need, read from this directory:
- **intents-basics.md** -- AppIntent protocol, @Parameter, perform(), App Shortcuts
- **entities-spotlight.md** -- AppEntity, IndexedEntity, Spotlight indexing, @Property
- **advanced-features.md** -- Intent modes, interactive snippets, visual intelligence, onscreen entities, choices, packages
### 3. Review or Implement
Apply patterns from the reference files. Check for common mistakes (see Top Mistakes below).
### 4. Cross-Reference
- For **Visual Intelligence camera search**, see `apple-intelligence/visual-intelligence/`
- For **Foundation Models on-device LLM**, see `apple-intelligence/foundation-models/`
- For **deep linking from intents**, see `generators/deep-linking/` skill
## Top Mistakes
These are the most frequent errors when implementing App Intents.
### 1. Missing static metadata
```swift
// ❌ Wrong -- no title or description
struct MyIntent: AppIntent {
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
return .result()
}
}
// ✅ Correct -- static title is required
struct MyIntent: AppIntent {
static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Do Something"
static var description: IntentDescription = "Performs the action"
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
return .result()
}
}
```
### 2. Forgetting to index entities after changes
```swift
// ❌ Wrong -- entities updated but Spotlight not notified
func saveRecipe(_ recipe: Recipe) {
database.save(recipe)
}
// ✅ Correct -- reindex after mutations
func saveRecipe(_ recipe: Recipe) async throws {
database.save(recipe)
try await CSSearchableIndex.default().indexAppEntities()
}
```
### 3. Using foreground intent for background-safe work
```swift
// ❌ Wrong -- forces app to foreground for a simple toggle
struct ToggleFavoriteIntent: AppIntent {
static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Toggle Favorite"
static var openAppWhenRun = true // Unnecessary
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
toggleFavorite()
return .result()
}
}
// ✅ Correct -- runs silently in background
struct ToggleFavoriteIntent: AppIntent {
static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Toggle Favorite"
static let supportedModes: IntentModes = .background
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
toggleFavorite()
return .result()
}
}
```
### 4. Not providing EntityStringQuery for entities
```swift
// ❌ Wrong -- entity has no way to be queried
struct NoteEntity: AppEntity {
var id: String
var title: String
// Missing: static var defaultQuery
}
// ✅ Correct -- provides a query so Siri can resolve entities
struct NoteEntity: AppEntity {
var id: String
var title: String
static var defaultQuery = NoteEntityQuery()
// ... typeDisplayRepresentation, displayRepresentation
}
```
### 5. Returning too many Spotlight results
```swift
// ❌ Wrong -- indexing thousands of items at once blocks the main thread
func indexAll() async throws {
let allItems = database.fetchAll() // 50,000 items
try await CSSearchableIndex.default().indexAppEntities()
}
// ✅ Correct -- batch index and run off main thread
func indexAll() async throws {
try await CSSearchableIndex.default().indexAppEntities(
of: RecipeEntity.self
)
}
```
## Design Guidelines
How to decide *what* to expose and how it should behave — from Apple's design sessions.
### App Shortcuts (WWDC22)
- Pick **self-contained, straightforward features** completable without the app in focus.
- Hard cap is **10 App Shortcuts**; aim for **2–5 high-quality** ones.
- Invocation phrase: brief, memorable, and **must include the app name** — provide natural synonym variants per language ("Start a run" / "Begin a run").
- At most **one dynamic parameter per phrase**; values must come from a **finite, front-of-mind list**, ordered by recency/frequency — the first value becomes the top Spotlight suggestion.
- Three dialog flows: **Parameter Confirmation** (assume the likely value, confirm it), **Disambiguation** (short list that teaches the available values), **Intent Confirmation** only for consequential actions (financial, destructive, high-risk).
- Snippet visuals: **semitranslucent material + vibrant label colors** — never opaque backgrounds.
- **Suppress spoken dialog when the snippet fully communicates the result**, but keep the dialog complete for voice-only contexts (AirPods, CarPlay).
- Surface in-app education **right before or after the user performs the action they'd repeat** — that's when the phrase sticks.
### What deserves to be an intent (WWDC24)
- **"Anything your app does should be an app intent."** Scope by task, not by a feature checklist.
- Start from **fundamental verbs** — Create, Open, Search — then specialize.
- **Consolidate near-duplicates** into one flexible intent with parameters ("Start Workout" with a workout-type parameter, not five separate intents).
- Intents represent **tasks, never UI gestures** — "save the draft", not "tap the save button".
- Live Activity and audio apps should expose Skill source recorded
