How we reviewMinimal accessThe tool runs nothing and makes no network calls.
- The skills are references and techniques and do not run code
This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
The set gives the agent Apple development knowledge: SwiftUI, Swift concurrency, SwiftData, App Intents, WidgetKit, StoreKit, MapKit, accessibility, localization and dozens of other topics. Each skill is self-contained and depends on no other, so you install only what you need. The skills run in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and GitHub Copilot. They install through the skills CLI, and Claude Code has a plugin marketplace with themed bundles to avoid overloading the context.
Who it is for. For iOS and macOS developers who write Swift and SwiftUI with an agent.
Good fit when
- You need up-to-date techniques for a specific Apple framework
- You want the agent to know modern SwiftUI and Swift 6
- You want to install only specific topics, not the whole set
Not a fit when
- The project is not about the Apple ecosystem
- You need support for older iOS versions rather than iOS 26+
Example request
Add App Intents so the app's actions are available in Siri and SpotlightLimitations
The skills are references and techniques; building and running still happen in Xcode separately. The material targets iOS 26+ and Swift 6.3, so some advice will not fit older versions. The full set is large, so themed bundles are preferable.
How to disable. Remove the installed skills via the skills CLI or uninstall the plugins via /plugin.
FAQ
Do I have to install all 86 skills?
No. The skills CLI lets you pick individual skills, and Claude Code has themed bundles to keep the context light.
Which agents does it support?
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and GitHub Copilot, plus other agents that read skill files.
