Use when implementing 'CloudKit sync', 'CKSyncEngine', 'CKRecord', 'CKDatabase', 'SwiftData CloudKit', 'shared database', 'public database', 'CloudKit zones', 'conflict resolution' - comprehensive CloudKit database APIs and modern sync patterns reference
Use when choosing Core Data vs SwiftData, setting up the Core Data stack, modeling relationships, or implementing concurrency patterns - prevents thread-confinement errors and migration crashes
Use when working with ANY data persistence, database, storage, CloudKit, migration, or serialization. Covers SwiftData, Core Data, GRDB, SQLite, CloudKit sync, file storage, Codable, migrations.
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.
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.
