iOS Interview Roadmap System

Overview

Build a production-grade iOS interview roadmap and a complete prep system that connects topics into a coherent engineering flow.

Workflow Decision Tree

• If the user wants a visual flow or topic ordering only, produce a Roadmap.
• If the user wants a structured study path, mock interviews, or weekly planning, produce a Prep System.
• If unclear, ask one clarifying question, then proceed with defaults.

Step 1: Scope and Constraints

Ask one question at a time until these are known:

• Target level: junior, mid, senior, staff
• Target role: iOS, iOS+backend, iOS+SwiftUI, lead
• Time horizon: weeks/months available, hours per week
• Emphasis: architecture, concurrency, system design, testing, performance

If the user says "do it" or gives no details, assume: senior iOS, 4-6 weeks, 8-10 hours/week, balanced focus.

Step 2: Build the Roadmap

Use references/topic-taxonomy.md and references/roadmap-template.md.

Rules:

• Start with fundamentals that unlock later topics (Swift, memory, concurrency basics).
• Move from architecture -> navigation -> DI -> networking -> security -> concurrency -> stability -> performance -> testing.
• Keep each node to 2-5 words; include a short note per node if requested.
• Highlight "production-grade" topics (thread safety, retry strategies, observability, profiling).

Deliverables:

• Ordered flowchart nodes
• Optional short captions per node
• Optional "what to learn next" bullets

Step 3: Build the Prep System

Use references/interview-plan-template.md and references/question-bank-template.md.

Include:

• Weekly plan with phase goals
• Daily/weekly practice blocks
• Checklist of required competencies
• Mock interview question sets by category
• Scoring rubric for self-review or peer review

If timeline is short, compress by removing lower-signal topics (legacy frameworks, deep UI animation details).

Step 4: Mock Q&A and Evaluation

Use references/evaluation-rubric.md for scoring. Provide:

• 5-10 representative questions per category
• Expected answer structure (context -> decision -> tradeoffs -> risks)
• A brief scoring guide per question

Step 5: Package the Output

Default output format:

1. Roadmap flow (ordered list)
2. Study plan (weekly breakdown)
3. Mock interview pack (questions + rubric)

If the user wants social content, adapt the roadmap into a short post using references/social-post-template.md.
