build-feature
Build an iOS feature using ShipSwift component recipes. Use when the user says "build", "create", "add a feature", or describes an iOS feature they want to implement.
What this skill does
# Build Feature with ShipSwift Build production-ready iOS features by combining ShipSwift recipes -- copy-paste-ready SwiftUI implementations covering animations, charts, UI components, and full-stack modules. ## Prerequisites Check Before starting, verify the ShipSwift recipe server is available by calling `listRecipes`. If the tools are not available, guide the user to visit [shipswift.app](https://shipswift.app) for setup instructions, or run `npx skills add signerlabs/shipswift-skills` to install. ## Workflow 1. **Analyze the request**: Break down the user's feature request into discrete components (UI, data, navigation, backend integration). 2. **Search for recipes**: Use `searchRecipes` with relevant keywords to find matching ShipSwift recipes. Try multiple search terms if the first query returns few results. 3. **Fetch full implementations**: Use `getRecipe` for each relevant recipe to get the complete source code, architecture explanation, and integration checklist. 4. **Present an integration plan**: Before writing code, show the user: - Which recipes will be used - How they connect together - What customizations are needed for their specific use case 5. **Generate code**: Adapt the recipe patterns to the user's project structure. Combine multiple recipes when the feature spans several areas (e.g., a chart view with shimmer loading animation). 6. **Provide integration checklist**: List any required dependencies, Info.plist entries, or environment setup from the recipe documentation. ## Guidelines - Always search recipes before writing code from scratch -- ShipSwift likely has a ready-made solution. - Combine multiple recipes when the feature spans several areas. - Use `SW`-prefixed naming conventions for ShipSwift components (e.g., `SWShimmer`, `SWDonutChart`). - View modifier methods use `.sw` lowercase prefix (e.g., `.swShimmer()`, `.swGlowScan()`). - Keep Views lightweight; extract complex logic into ViewModels. - Support Dark Mode and Dynamic Type by default. - Prefer SwiftUI-native APIs over UIKit wrappers. ## Pro Recipes Some recipes require a Pro license ($89 one-time). If a recipe returns a purchase prompt, the user can buy at [shipswift.app/pricing](https://shipswift.app/pricing) and set `SHIPSWIFT_API_KEY` in their environment.

contribute
IncludedLocal-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".
architectural-analysis
IncludedUser-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).
mcp
IncludedModel Context Protocol (MCP) server development and tool management. Languages: Python, TypeScript. Capabilities: build MCP servers, integrate external APIs, discover/execute MCP tools, manage multi-server configs, design agent-centric tools. Actions: create, build, integrate, discover, execute, configure MCP servers/tools. Keywords: MCP, Model Context Protocol, MCP server, MCP tool, stdio transport, SSE transport, tool discovery, resource provider, prompt template, external API integration, Gemini CLI MCP, Claude MCP, agent tools, tool execution, server config. Use when: building MCP servers, integrating external APIs as MCP tools, discovering available MCP tools, executing MCP capabilities, configuring multi-server setups, designing tools for AI agents.
react-native-skia
IncludedDesign, build, debug, and optimise high-polish animated graphics in React Native or Expo using @shopify/react-native-skia, Reanimated, and Gesture Handler. Use when the user wants canvas-driven UI, shaders, paths, rich text, image filters, sprite fields, Skottie, video frames, snapshots, web CanvasKit setup, or performance tuning for custom motion-heavy elements such as loaders, hero art, cards, charts, progress indicators, particle systems, or gesture-driven surfaces. Also use when the user asks for fluid, glow, glass, blob, parallax, 60fps/120fps, or GPU-friendly animated effects in React Native, even if they do not explicitly say "Skia". Do not use for ordinary form/layout work with standard views.
plaid
IncludedProduct Led AI Development — guides founders from idea to launched product. Six capabilities: Idea (discover a product idea), Validate (pressure-test the idea against fatal flaws, problem reality, competition, and 2-week MVP feasibility), Plan (vision intake + document generation), Design (translate image references into a design.md spec), Launch (go-to-market strategy), and Build (roadmap execution). Use when someone says "PLAID", "plaid idea", "help me find an idea", "product idea", "idea from my business", "idea from my expertise", "plaid validate", "validate my idea", "pressure-test", "is this idea good", "find fatal flaws", "validate the problem", "plan a product", "define my vision", "generate a PRD", "product strategy", "plaid design", "design from image", "translate image to design", "create design.md", "extract design tokens", "plaid launch", "go-to-market", "launch plan", "GTM strategy", "launch playbook", "plaid build", "build the app", "start building", or "execute the roadmap".
nextjs-framer-motion-animations
IncludedAdds production-safe Motion for React or Framer Motion animations to Next.js apps, including reveal, hover and tap micro-interactions, whileInView, stagger, AnimatePresence, layout and layoutId transitions, reorder, scroll-linked UI, and lightweight route-content transitions. Use when the user asks to add, refactor, or debug Motion or Framer Motion in App Router or Pages Router codebases, especially around server/client boundaries, reduced motion, LazyMotion, bundle size, hydration, or route transitions. Avoid for GSAP-style timelines, WebGL or 3D scenes, heavy scroll storytelling, or CSS-only effects unless Motion is explicitly requested.
