SwiftUI Agent Skill for AI Coding Assistants 
An agent skill that helps AI coding assistants write smarter, simpler, and more modern SwiftUI, including guidance on API usage, design, performance, and accessibility. Covers navigation, layout, animations, state management, VoiceOver, deprecated API, and more, targeting the mistakes LLMs actually make.
Also available:
- SwiftData Pro
- Swift Concurrency Pro
- Swift Testing Pro

The skill builds upon my existing AGENTS.md file, meaning that you can bring years of knowledge and practical experience into your coding agent of choice in just a few minutes. It uses the Agent Skills format, so it works smoothly with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and more.
## Installing SwiftUI Pro
You can install this skill into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and more by using npx:
 [code] 
If you get the error `npx: command not found`, it means you don’t currently have Node installed. You need to run this command to install Node through Homebrew:
 [code] 
And if *that* fails it usually means you need to install Homebrew first.
When using `npx`, you can select exactly which agents you want to use during the installation. You can also select whether the skill should be installed just for one project, or whether it should be made available for all your projects.
Claude Code users can add the SwiftUI Agent Skill marketplace then install the plugin directly through Claude, like this:
 [code] 
Alternatively, you can clone this whole repository and install it however you want.
If you’re using Xcode, watch the YouTube video on How to Install and Use Agent Skills in Xcode for a walkthrough.
## Using SwiftUI Pro
The skill is called SwiftUI Pro, and can be triggered in various ways. For example, in Claude Code you would use this:
> /swiftui-pro
And in Codex you would use this:
> $swiftui-pro
In both cases you can provide specific instructions if you want only a partial review. For example, `/swiftui-pro Check for deprecated API` on Claude, or `$swiftui-pro Focus on accessibility` in Codex.
You can also trigger the skill using natural language:
> Use the SwiftUI Pro skill to look for performance problems in this project.
## Why Use an Agent Skill for SwiftUI?
This skill is built on thousands of hours of learning, experimenting, and building real-world SwiftUI projects. The rules contained here directly target common SwiftUI mistakes made by LLMs. They sometimes make buttons invisible to VoiceOver, they frequently use deprecated API, and they would often write code that causes surprise performance problems.
You can read more about why I created this skill in my article: SwiftUI Agent Skill - Write better code with Claude, Codex, and other AI tools.
