Find the perfect capability for your agent.
Use when implementing navigation patterns, choosing between NavigationStack and NavigationSplitView, handling deep links, adopting coordinator patterns, or requesting code review of navigation implementation - prevents navigation state corruption, deep link failures, and state restoration bugs for iOS 18+
Use when debugging navigation not responding, unexpected pops, deep links showing wrong screen, state lost on tab switch or background, crashes in navigationDestination, or any SwiftUI navigation failure - systematic diagnostics with production crisis defense
Use when implementing 'iCloud Drive', 'ubiquitous container', 'file sync', 'NSFileCoordinator', 'NSFilePresenter', 'isUbiquitousItem', 'NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore', 'ubiquitous file sync' - comprehensive file-based iCloud sync reference
Reference — SwiftUI stacks, grids, outlines, and scroll enhancements through iOS 26
Use when implementing privacy manifests, requesting permissions, App Tracking Transparency UX, or preparing Privacy Nutrition Labels - covers just-in-time permission requests, tracking domain management, and Required Reason APIs from WWDC 2023
Use when testing async code with Swift Testing. Covers confirmation for callbacks, @MainActor tests, async/await patterns, timeout control, XCTest migration, parallel test execution.
Use when ANY iOS build fails, test crashes, Xcode misbehaves, or environment issue occurs before debugging code. Covers build failures, compilation errors, dependency conflicts, simulator problems, environment-first diagnostics.
Use when writing, running, or debugging XCUITests. Covers element queries, waiting strategies, accessibility identifiers, test plans, and CI/CD test execution patterns.
Use when writing UI tests, recording interactions, tests have race conditions, timing dependencies, inconsistent pass/fail behavior, or XCTest UI tests are flaky - covers Recording UI Automation (WWDC 2025), condition-based waiting, network conditioning, multi-factor testing, crash debugging, and accessibility-first testing patterns
SpriteKit API reference — all node types, physics body creation, action catalog, texture atlases, constraints, scene setup, particles, SKRenderer
Use when SwiftData migrations crash, fail to preserve relationships, lose data, or work in simulator but fail on device - systematic diagnostics for schema version mismatches, relationship errors, and migration testing gaps
Use when adding/modifying database columns, encountering "FOREIGN KEY constraint failed", "no such column", "cannot add NOT NULL column" errors, or creating schema migrations for SQLite/GRDB/SQLiteData - prevents data loss with safe migration patterns and testing workflows for iOS/macOS apps
Use when needing EventKit API details — EKEventStore, EKEvent, EKReminder, EventKitUI view controllers, EKCalendarChooser, authorization methods, predicate-based fetching, recurrence rules, Siri Event Suggestions donation, EKVirtualConferenceProvider, location-based reminders, and EKErrorDomain codes
This skill should be used when working with NWConnection patterns for iOS 12-25, supporting apps that can't use async/await yet, or maintaining backward compatibility with completion handler networking.
Use when implementing Network.framework connections, debugging connection failures, migrating from sockets/URLSession streams, or adopting structured concurrency networking patterns - prevents deprecated API usage, reachability anti-patterns, and thread-safety violations with iOS 12-26+ APIs
Use when implementing privacy manifests, requesting permissions, App Tracking Transparency UX, or preparing Privacy Nutrition Labels - covers just-in-time permission requests, tracking domain management, and Required Reason APIs from WWDC 2023
Use when needing APNs HTTP/2 transport details, JWT authentication setup, payload key reference, UNUserNotificationCenter API, notification category/action registration, service extension lifecycle, local notification triggers, Live Activity push headers, or broadcast push format. Covers complete push notification API surface.
Use when needing ShazamKit API details — SHManagedSession, SHSession, SHCustomCatalog, SHSignatureGenerator, SHMediaItem, SHMatchedMediaItem, SHLibrary, SHMediaLibrary, SHSignature, SHMatch, SHError, SHSessionDelegate, and related types
