Install target

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 erikote04/swift-api-design-guidelines-agent-skill at 36cdc1b568.

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

Scanned
9 files, 405 lines
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 provides guidance and recommendations for designing robust and user-friendly Swift APIs. It leverages Apple's official API Design Guidelines to ensure consistency, clarity, and maintainability in your Swift code. The skill can analyze existing Swift code or provide suggestions for new API designs, helping developers create high-quality libraries and frameworks.

When to use it

  • Designing a new Swift library: Get feedback on the proposed API structure and naming conventions before implementation.
  • Refactoring an existing API: Identify areas where the API can be improved based on Apple's guidelines.
  • Reviewing code for adherence to standards: Ensure that team members are following best practices for Swift API design.
  • Understanding Apple’s official guidelines: Quickly access and interpret complex API design principles.

Key capabilities

  • Adherence to Apple's Swift API Design Guidelines
  • API structure analysis
  • Naming convention recommendations
  • Code review suggestions

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this Swift code snippet for adherence to the API Design Guidelines: [code snippet]"
  • "Suggest improvements to the API design of my FileManager class."
  • "What are some best practices for naming methods in a public Swift API?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness relies on providing clear and concise code snippets or descriptions of the APIs being evaluated. It is designed to supplement, not replace, human review and understanding of the guidelines.
