swift-diagnostics

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to analyze Swift code and generate detailed diagnostic reports. It helps identify syntax errors, type mismatches, and potential runtime issues directly within the development workflow.

When to use it

• Debugging complex Swift modules where standard compiler output is unclear.
• Reviewing third-party libraries for compatibility with your specific iOS version.
• Validating code changes before committing to a repository to prevent build failures.
• Generating human-readable explanations for obscure error messages in Xcode or CLI builds.

Key capabilities

• Parses Swift source files to detect structural and logical errors.
• Provides actionable suggestions for fixing identified issues.
• Integrates with existing CI/CD pipelines for automated code quality checks.
• Supports both iOS and macOS specific Swift frameworks.

Example prompts

• "Analyze this Swift file for any type safety violations or memory management leaks."
• "Explain why the compiler is throwing an error on line 42 of my NetworkManager class."
• "Generate a diagnostic report for this new SwiftUI view component before I run the build."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to the full project context, including imported frameworks and configuration files, for accurate diagnostics. This skill is most effective when used alongside a local Swift compiler instance to validate real-time build errors.
