What it does

Swift Concurrency 6 2 is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. Swift 6.2 Approachable Concurrency — single-threaded by default, @concurrent for explicit background offloading, isolated conformances for main actor types. Use when adopting Swift 6.2 concurrency — offloading with @concurrent or resolving main-actor isolation.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Async programming. It works with Swift. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Adopting Swift 6.2 concurrency — offloading with @concurrent
  • Resolving main-actor isolation

Example prompts

  • “/swift-concurrency-6-2”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Mark the containing type as nonisolated
  2. Add @concurrent to the function
  3. Add async if not already asynchronous
  4. Add await at call sites

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d515e4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are swift).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Swift Concurrency 6 2 loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 589 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Swift 6.2 Approachable Concurrency — single-threaded by default, @concurrent for explicit background offloading, isolated conformances for main actor types. Use when adopting Swift 6.2 concurrency — offloading with @concurrent or resolving main-actor isolation.

Swift 6.2 Approachable Concurrency

Patterns for adopting Swift 6.2's concurrency model where code runs single-threaded by default and concurrency is introduced explicitly. Eliminates common data-race errors without sacrificing performance.

When to Activate

  • Migrating Swift 5.x or 6.0/6.1 projects to Swift 6.2
  • Resolving data-race safety compiler errors
  • Designing MainActor-based app architecture
  • Offloading CPU-intensive work to background threads
  • Implementing protocol conformances on MainActor-isolated types
  • Enabling Approachable Concurrency build settings in Xcode 26

Core Problem: Implicit Background Offloading

In Swift 6.1 and earlier, async functions could be implicitly offloaded to background threads, causing data-race errors even in seemingly safe code:

swift
// Swift 6.1: ERROR
@MainActor
final class StickerModel {
    let photoProcessor = PhotoProcessor()

    func extractSticker(_ item: PhotosPickerItem) async throws -> Sticker? {
        guard let data = try await item.loadTransferable(type: Data.self) else { return nil }

        // Error: Sending 'self.photoProcessor' risks causing data races
        return await photoProcessor.extractSticker(data: data, with: item.itemIdentifier)
    }
}

Swift 6.2 fixes this: async functions stay on the calling actor by default.

swift
// Swift 6.2: OK — async stays on MainActor, no data race
@MainActor
final class StickerModel {
    let photoProcessor = PhotoProcessor()

    func extractSticker(_ item: PhotosPickerItem) async throws -> Sticker? {
        guard let data = try await item.loadTransferable(type: Data.self) else { return nil }
        return await photoProcessor.extractSticker(data: data, with: item.itemIdentifier)
    }
}

Core Pattern — Isolated Conformances

MainActor types can now conform to non-isolated protocols safely:

swift
protocol Exportable {
    func export()
}

// Swift 6.1: ERROR — crosses into main actor-isolated code
// Swift 6.2: OK with isolated conformance
extension StickerModel: @MainActor Exportable {
    func export() {
        photoProcessor.exportAsPNG()
    }
}

The compiler ensures the conformance is only used on the main actor:

swift
// OK — ImageExporter is also @MainActor
@MainActor
struct ImageExporter {
    var items: [any Exportable]

    mutating func add(_ item: StickerModel) {
        items.append(item)  // Safe: same actor isolation
    }
}

// ERROR — nonisolated context can't use MainActor conformance
nonisolated struct ImageExporter {
    var items: [any Exportable]

    mutating func add(_ item: StickerModel) {
        items.append(item)  // Error: Main actor-isolated conformance cannot be used here
    }
}

Core Pattern — Global and Static Variables

Protect global/static state with MainActor:

swift
// Swift 6.1: ERROR — non-Sendable type may have shared mutable state
final class StickerLibrary {
    static let shared: StickerLibrary = .init()  // Error
}

// Fix: Annotate with @MainActor
@MainActor
final class StickerLibrary {
    static let shared: StickerLibrary = .init()  // OK
}
MainActor Default Inference Mode

Swift 6.2 introduces a mode where MainActor is inferred by default — no manual annotations needed:

swift
// With MainActor default inference enabled:
final class StickerLibrary {
    static let shared: StickerLibrary = .init()  // Implicitly @MainActor
}

final class StickerModel {
    let photoProcessor: PhotoProcessor
    var selection: [PhotosPickerItem]  // Implicitly @MainActor
}

extension StickerModel: Exportable {  // Implicitly @MainActor conformance
    func export() {
        photoProcessor.exportAsPNG()
    }
}

This mode is opt-in and recommended for apps, scripts, and other executable targets.

Core Pattern — @concurrent for Background Work

When you need actual parallelism, explicitly offload with @concurrent:

Important: This example requires Approachable Concurrency build settings — SE-0466 (MainActor default isolation) and SE-0461 (NonisolatedNonsendingByDefault). With these enabled, extractSticker stays on the caller's actor, making mutable state access safe. Without these settings, this code has a data race — the compiler will flag it.

swift
nonisolated final class PhotoProcessor {
    private var cachedStickers: [String: Sticker] = [:]

    func extractSticker(data: Data, with id: String) async -> Sticker {
        if let sticker = cachedStickers[id] {
            return sticker
        }

        let sticker = await Self.extractSubject(from: data)
        cachedStickers[id] = sticker
        return sticker
    }

    // Offload expensive work to concurrent thread pool
    @concurrent
    static func extractSubject(from data: Data) async -> Sticker { /* ... */ }
}

// Callers must await
let processor = PhotoProcessor()
processedPhotos[item.id] = await processor.extractSticker(data: data, with: item.id)

To use @concurrent:

  1. Mark the containing type as nonisolated
  2. Add @concurrent to the function
  3. Add async if not already asynchronous
  4. Add await at call sites

Key Design Decisions

DecisionRationale
Single-threaded by defaultMost natural code is data-race free; concurrency is opt-in
Async stays on calling actorEliminates implicit offloading that caused data-race errors
Isolated conformancesMainActor types can conform to protocols without unsafe workarounds
@concurrent explicit opt-inBackground execution is a deliberate performance choice, not accidental
MainActor default inferenceReduces boilerplate @MainActor annotations for app targets
Opt-in adoptionNon-breaking migration path — enable features incrementally
Show full SKILL.md (254 more words)Show less

Migration Steps

  1. Enable in Xcode: Swift Compiler > Concurrency section in Build Settings
  2. Enable in SPM: Use SwiftSettings API in package manifest
  3. Use migration tooling: Automatic code changes via swift.org/migration
  4. Start with MainActor defaults: Enable inference mode for app targets
  5. Add @concurrent where needed: Profile first, then offload hot paths
  6. Test thoroughly: Data-race issues become compile-time errors

Best Practices

  • Start on MainActor — write single-threaded code first, optimize later
  • Use @concurrent only for CPU-intensive work — image processing, compression, complex computation
  • Enable MainActor inference mode for app targets that are mostly single-threaded
  • Profile before offloading — use Instruments to find actual bottlenecks
  • Protect globals with MainActor — global/static mutable state needs actor isolation
  • Use isolated conformances instead of nonisolated workarounds or @Sendable wrappers
  • Migrate incrementally — enable features one at a time in build settings

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

  • Applying @concurrent to every async function (most don't need background execution)
  • Using nonisolated to suppress compiler errors without understanding isolation
  • Keeping legacy DispatchQueue patterns when actors provide the same safety
  • Skipping model.availability checks in concurrency-related Foundation Models code
  • Fighting the compiler — if it reports a data race, the code has a real concurrency issue
  • Assuming all async code runs in the background (Swift 6.2 default: stays on calling actor)

When to Use

  • All new Swift 6.2+ projects (Approachable Concurrency is the recommended default)
  • Migrating existing apps from Swift 5.x or 6.0/6.1 concurrency
  • Resolving data-race safety compiler errors during Xcode 26 adoption
  • Building MainActor-centric app architectures (most UI apps)
  • Performance optimization — offloading specific heavy computations to background
