Swiftui Skills

What it does

This skill generates SwiftUI code snippets, layouts, and views for iOS app development based on user descriptions. It leverages a packaged set of Apple's AdditionalDocumentation from Xcode to ensure accuracy and adherence to Apple-native patterns, minimizing hallucinations. The skill also provides code review capabilities, identifying issues and suggesting improvements while referencing the relevant documentation.

When to use it

• When writing SwiftUI code and needing assistance with specific layouts or views.
• When reviewing existing SwiftUI code for compliance with Apple's guidelines.
• When unsure about a particular SwiftUI implementation and requiring clarification based on official documentation.
• To accelerate iOS app development by generating compile-ready Swift code snippets.

Key capabilities

• Generates SwiftUI code snippets, layouts, and views.
• Provides code review suggestions with references to Apple's documentation.
• Enforces Apple-native patterns and conventions.
• Includes availability notes for new APIs.
• Uses a curated set of Apple’s AdditionalDocumentation from Xcode as its source of truth.

Example prompts

• "Generate a SwiftUI view for a simple login form with email and password fields."
• "Review this SwiftUI code snippet and suggest improvements based on Apple's best practices: [code snippet]."
• "How do I create a list in SwiftUI that displays data from an array?"

Tips & gotchas

• The skill relies on the /docs folder containing .md files. If empty, run the setup.sh script (either globally or project-locally) to extract the Xcode documentation before proceeding.
• The skill will not invent types or APIs; if a requested feature isn't in the /docs, it will state this and offer an alternative.
• Always prioritize minimal, idiomatic SwiftUI code and platform conventions.
