This AI helps developers transition to or utilize functional programming paradigms, boosting code clarity and efficiency.

Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it swift-functional-architecture, not the name it is listed under, so the command below uses that name.
  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add sideeffect-io/swift-functional-programming-skill --skill swift-functional-architecture -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned sideeffect-io/swift-functional-programming-skill at 74bb5be884.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to write and reason about code using functional programming paradigms. It can translate imperative code into more concise, declarative functional equivalents, focusing on immutability and pure functions. The agent is capable of generating Swift code that leverages higher-order functions and avoids side effects for improved maintainability and testability.

When to use it

  • Refactoring existing imperative Swift codebases to improve clarity and reduce bugs.
  • Generating new Swift code from natural language descriptions, emphasizing functional principles.
  • Understanding and explaining complex Swift code that utilizes functional programming techniques.
  • Creating unit tests for Swift functions, ensuring they adhere to pure function properties.

Key capabilities

  • Swift code generation using functional programming patterns.
  • Translation of imperative code into functional equivalents.
  • Reasoning about the purity and immutability of Swift functions.
  • Application of higher-order functions (map, filter, reduce).

Example prompts

  • "Convert this for loop to a functional equivalent in Swift."
  • "Write a Swift function that calculates the sum of squares using reduce."
  • "Explain how this code uses immutability and pure functions."

Tips & gotchas

The agent's effectiveness is dependent on providing clear instructions regarding desired functional programming style. While it can generate functional code, understanding the underlying principles of functional programming will help you refine prompts for better results.
