Expert guidance for designing, implementing, migrating, and debugging SwiftData persistence in Swift and SwiftUI apps. Use when working with @Model schemas, @Relationship/@Attribute rules, Query or FetchDescriptor data access, ModelContainer/ModelContext configuration, CloudKit sync, SchemaMigrationPlan/history APIs, ModelActor concurrency isolation, or Core Data to SwiftData adoption/coexistence.
Index of Apple developer documentation for iOS, macOS, and related frameworks. Use when looking up what APIs exist in a framework, browsing available documentation, or deciding what docs to fetch. Covers SwiftUI, UIKit, XCTest, HealthKit, Combine, SwiftData, and more.
Use when migrating from Realm to SwiftData - comprehensive migration guide covering pattern equivalents, threading model conversion, schema migration strategies, CloudKit sync transition, and real-world scenarios
Build, review, or improve Core Data persistence in apps that have not adopted SwiftData. Use when working with NSManagedObject subclasses, NSFetchedResultsController for list-driven UI, NSBatchInsertRequest / NSBatchDeleteRequest / NSBatchUpdateRequest for bulk operations, NSPersistentHistoryChangeRequest for persistent history tracking and multi-target sync, NSStagedMigrationManager for staged schema migrations (iOS 17+), NSCompositeAttributeDescription for composite attributes (iOS 17+), or when integrating Core Data threading with Swift Concurrency. For Core Data + SwiftData coexistence or migration, see the swiftdata skill instead.
Build, refactor, review, and debug native Apple-platform software in Swift. Use when working on `.swift` files, SwiftUI views, Observation-based state, `@Bindable` and binding flow, SwiftData-backed UI, scenes and windows, search/navigation structures, UIKit/AppKit interop, Liquid Glass adoption, macOS-native UX, or SwiftUI performance/accessibility. Trigger on requests to create or polish iOS, iPadOS, macOS, or visionOS features; clean up SwiftUI view structure; diagnose jank or invalidation storms; review app quality; or make a feature feel like a good Apple-platform citizen.
Encode and decode Swift types to and from JSON, property lists, and other external representations using Codable, JSONEncoder, and JSONDecoder. Use when implementing API response parsing, custom CodingKeys for key remapping, custom init(from:) or encode(to:) for complex transformations, nested or flattened JSON structures, heterogeneous array decoding, date and data decoding strategies, lossy array wrappers, Codable integration with URLSession, SwiftData, or UserDefaults, or when configuring encoder/decoder output formatting and key strategies.
Patterns for sharing code between macOS and iOS in SwiftUI apps. Covers project structure (70% shared / 15% macOS / 15% iOS), platform abstraction via protocols and #if os() conditional compilation, adaptive navigation (NavigationSplitView on Mac/iPad → NavigationStack on iPhone), shared components with platform styling, iOS-specific extensions (custom keyboard extension, interactive widgets, share extension, action extension, Control Center widget, lock screen widget), App Groups for data sharing with extensions, CloudKit sync monitoring, JSON export/import, schema versioning and migration, URL scheme deep linking, and the full macOS→iOS migration checklist. Use when building apps that target both macOS and iOS, when adding iOS support to a macOS app, when building widgets or keyboard extensions, or when setting up iCloud sync with SwiftData.
Writes and reviews Swift App Intents code that exposes app actions and data to Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, widgets, Control Center, and Apple Intelligence. Use when adding AppIntent, AppEntity, OpenIntent, AppShortcutsProvider, EntityQuery, Focus Filters, AssistantEntity/AssistantIntent schemas, or when wiring SwiftData/networked data into intents.
Automatically discover mobile development skills when working with iOS, Android, Swift, SwiftUI, React Native, mobile development, SwiftData, or app development. Activates for mobile development tasks.
Use when debugging 'file not syncing', 'CloudKit error', 'sync conflict', 'iCloud upload failed', 'ubiquitous item error', 'data not appearing on other devices', 'CKError', 'quota exceeded' - systematic iCloud sync diagnostics for both CloudKit and iCloud Drive
SwiftUI fundamentals for all Apple platforms. Use when building views, navigation, data persistence, or state management with SwiftUI across iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, visionOS.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "write tests", "add unit tests", "implement UI tests", "analyze test coverage", "use XCTest", "use Swift Testing", "test SwiftUI views", or needs iOS/macOS testing guidance. Provides testing strategies, XCTest and Swift Testing framework patterns, and SwiftUI-specific testing techniques.
