|---|---|---|
| guide-swift-concurrency | Concurrency patterns — actors, structured concurrency, cancellation, diagnostics, GCD migration | twostraws/Swift-Concurrency-Agent-Skill |

Disabled Skills
Skills in disabled-skills/ are kept in the repo but not loaded by agents. They impose a specific taste or architecture (aesthetic manifestos, MV-over-MVVM mandates, "Apple-approved" design gatekeeping) — the model should form its own design judgment and use the reference docs for facts. Move a directory back into skills/ to re-enable it.
| Skill | Why disabled |
|---|---|
| ios-ui-craft | Aesthetic manifesto (anti-pattern tables, "design dark first", font/color mandates) |
| ios-design-consultant | "Apple-approved" / Design Award framing forces HIG conformity |
| guide-swiftui-view-refactor | Mandates MV over MVVM and strict property ordering |
Utilities
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| apple-docs-index | Index of Apple developer documentation — start here to find what you need |
| apple-aso | App Store Optimization for metadata |
Target Platform
These skills intentionally target the latest Apple APIs and platform conventions.
Why bleeding edge? LLMs already have plenty of legacy Apple APIs in their training data — when a project needs backward compatibility, agents can add it on their own. But for the newest APIs, agents need to be steered with up-to-date docs; without them, they'll hallucinate or fall back to deprecated patterns.
iOS 26+ / Swift 6 — no legacy patterns. Uses:
@Observablemacro (notObservableObject)NavigationStack(notNavigationView)- Swift concurrency (
async/await, not completion handlers) - Liquid Glass design system
- Swift Testing where applicable
