Install

Recommended: any agent via skills CLI

The skills CLI is the recommended install method.

Interactive install (recommended):

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:

npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --all

Use --all when you want the full set of 84 skills installed automatically for any coding agent.

Install specific skills directly:

npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --skill <skill-name> --skill <skill-name>

Check for updates to installed skills:

npx skills check

Update installed skills to the latest versions:

npx skills update

Use these after installing through the skills CLI.

Claude Code (via plugin marketplace)

Add the marketplace (one-time):

/plugin marketplace add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills

Install everything:

/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):

/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

Structure

Each skill follows the open Agent Skills 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, including:

• Claude Code (Anthropic)
• OpenAI Codex
• Cursor
• GitHub Copilot
• Windsurf
• Roo Code
• And many more

Upgrading from v2.x

• All skills remain self-contained: No skill references or depends on another.

To upgrade via the skills CLI:
