Axiom App Discoverability

charleswiltgen/axiom

If you're building an iOS app and wondering why it never shows up in Spotlight or Siri suggestions, this skill explains the actual system. The core insight is dead simple: iOS surfaces apps based on metadata you feed across multiple APIs (App Intents, Core Spotlight, NSUserActivity), and it learns from real usage to boost what people actually invoke. One API isn't enough. You need a multi-API strategy, and the system rewards clear, action-oriented metadata. This is particularly useful if you've implemented App Shortcuts but your app still feels invisible to users. The approach is straightforward: provide comprehensive metadata everywhere Apple looks, then let the system's learning do the work.
