ios-development
Comprehensive iOS development guidance including Swift best practices, SwiftUI patterns, UI/UX review against HIG, and app planning. Use for iOS code review, best practices, accessibility audits, or planning new iOS apps.
What this skill does
# iOS Development Expert Comprehensive guidance for iOS app development. This skill aggregates specialized modules for different aspects of iOS development. ## When This Skill Activates Use this skill when the user: - Asks about iOS development best practices - Wants code review for iOS/Swift projects - Needs UI/UX review against Human Interface Guidelines - Wants accessibility audit for iOS apps - Is planning a new iOS app - Needs help with SwiftUI patterns for iOS - Asks about navigation architecture (NavigationStack, NavigationSplitView, TabView) - Wants to run/launch the app in the Simulator or screenshot it to verify a change ## Available Modules Read relevant module files based on the user's needs: ### coding-best-practices/ Swift code quality and modern idioms for iOS. - Modern Swift patterns and idioms - Architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture) - Code quality standards - Performance optimization ### ui-review/ UI/UX review against Apple HIG. - Human Interface Guidelines compliance - Font usage and Dynamic Type support - Accessibility review (VoiceOver, color contrast) - SwiftUI best practices for iOS/watchOS ### navigation-patterns/ SwiftUI navigation architecture patterns. - NavigationStack, NavigationLink, navigationDestination - NavigationSplitView (two/three column, iPad/macOS) - TabView (iOS 18 customizable tabs, sidebar mode) - Programmatic navigation (NavigationPath, pop-to-root, state restoration) - Navigation transitions (zoom, custom animations) ### app-planner/ iOS app planning and analysis. - New app concept to architecture - Existing app audits - Tech stack evaluation - Product planning guidance ### run-simulator/ Build, install, launch, and screenshot the app in the Simulator to verify a change visually (operational — uses Bash, not just guidance). - Discover scheme + an available simulator (no hardcoded device names) - Build for the simulator and resolve the `.app` + bundle id - Boot, install, launch, then screenshot and read it back - Drive navigation / deep links to reach the changed screen ### run-device/ Run an app on a physical iPhone/iPad from the CLI (no Xcode GUI). - Build + code-sign for a device with `xcodebuild -allowProvisioningUpdates` - Install and launch via `devicectl` - Screenshot on hardware via `libimobiledevice` - Device prerequisites (Developer Mode, pairing) and signing gotchas ## How to Use 1. Identify user's need from their question 2. Read relevant module files from subdirectories 3. Apply the guidance to their specific context 4. Reference Apple HIG documentation when needed ## Example Workflow **User asks for UI review:** 1. Read `ui-review/SKILL.md` for the full review process 2. Check their SwiftUI code against HIG 3. Verify accessibility compliance 4. Report findings with specific recommendations

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.
