76 agent skills optimized for **iOS 26+** development with Swift 6.3 and modern Apple frameworks. All code examples, patterns, and guidance target the latest APIs -- Liquid Glass, approachable concurrency, Foundation Models, StoreKit 2, SwiftData, async/await URLSession, and more. No deprecated patterns.
Compatible with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code), [OpenAI Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex), [Cursor](https://cursor.com), [GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot), and [40+ other agents](https://skills.sh). Follows the open [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) standard.
Every skill is self-contained. No skill depends on another. Install only what you need.

## Install
### Recommended: any agent via [skills CLI](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills)
The skills CLI is the recommended install method.
Interactive install (recommended):
```sh
npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills
```
Running the default command opens the skills CLI UI so you can choose which skills to install and which agent(s) to install them for.
Install everything for any coding agent:
```sh
npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --all
```
Use `--all` when you want the full set of 76 skills installed automatically for any coding agent.
Install specific skills directly:
```sh
npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --skill --skill
```
Check for updates to installed skills:
```sh
npx skills check
```
Update installed skills to the latest versions:
```sh
npx skills update
```
Use these after installing through the skills CLI.
### Claude Code (via plugin marketplace)
Add the marketplace (one-time):
```sh
/plugin marketplace add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills
```
Install everything:
```sh
/plugin install all-ios-skills@swift-ios-skills
```
Or install a themed bundle (bundles limit how many skills load into the context window — if you want everything, use `all-ios-skills` above instead of installing multiple bundles):
```sh
/plugin install swiftui-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install swift-core-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-app-framework-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-data-framework-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-ai-ml-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-engineering-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-hardware-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-platform-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-gaming-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install apple-kit-skills@swift-ios-skills
```
### OpenAI Codex

## Structure
Each skill follows the open [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) standard:
```
skills/
skill-name/
SKILL.md # Required — instructions and metadata
references/ # Optional — detailed reference material
some-topic.md
```
`SKILL.md` contains YAML frontmatter (`name`, `description`) and markdown instructions. The `references/` folder holds longer examples, advanced patterns, and lookup tables that the main file points to.
This repository contains original instructional content and examples for Apple platform development. Where Apple frameworks, APIs, documentation, WWDC sessions, or trademarks are referenced, those materials remain the property of Apple Inc. The license for this repository applies to this project's original content only and does not claim ownership of or relicense Apple's documentation, trademarks, sample code, or other third-party materials.
## Compatibility
These skills work with any agent that supports the [Agent Skills standard](https://agentskills.io), including:
- [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) (Anthropic)
- [OpenAI Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex)
- [Cursor](https://cursor.com)
- [GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot)
- [Windsurf](https://codeium.com/windsurf)
- [Roo Code](https://roocode.com)
- And [many more](https://skills.sh)
## Upgrading from v2.x
v3.0 is a major release. If you previously installed v2.x skills, note the following changes:
- **Skill count**: 57 skills in v2.2.0, 76 skills in v3.0.0.
- **Skill renames**: 12 existing skills renamed to use Apple Kit framework names. Old skill paths no longer resolve. Uninstall all skills and reinstall to upgrade.
| v2.x name | v3.0 name |
|-----------|-----------|
| `live-activities` | `activitykit` |
| `mapkit-location` | `mapkit` |
| `photos-camera-media` | `photokit` |
| `homekit-matter` | `homekit` |
| `callkit-voip` | `callkit` |
| `metrickit-diagnostics` | `metrickit` |
| `pencilkit-drawing` | `pencilkit` |
| `passkit-wallet` | `passkit` |
| `musickit-audio` | `musickit` |
| `cloudkit-sync` | `cloudkit` |
| `eventkit-calendar` | `eventkit` |
| `realitykit-ar` | `realitykit` |
- **19 new Kit framework skills**: avkit, gamekit, cryptokit, pdfkit, paperkit, spritekit, scenekit, financekit, accessorysetupkit, adattributionkit, carplay, appmigrationkit, browserenginekit, dockkit, sensorkit, tabletopkit, relevancekit, audioaccessorykit, cryptotokenkit.
- **New bundles**: `apple-kit-skills` (all 39 Apple Kit framework skills) and `ios-gaming-skills` (GameKit, SpriteKit, SceneKit, TabletopKit).
- **PaperKit standalone**: PaperKit content removed from `pencilkit` and is now its own `paperkit` skill.
- **Beta frameworks**: `permissionkit`, `energykit`, `paperkit`, `relevancekit`, `appmigrationkit`, and `audioaccessorykit` require iOS/watchOS 26 beta and are subject to API changes before GM.
- **All skills remain self-contained**: No skill references or depends on another.
To upgrade via the skills CLI:
```sh
npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills
```
To upgrade Claude Code bundles, reinstall the bundles you use (old skill paths will no longer resolve).
## Support
If these skills save you time or improve your workflow, you can support ongoing maintenance through [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/dpearson2699).
Support helps keep the collection current with new Apple releases, evolving framework APIs, updated examples, and compatibility work across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and other agents.
