What it does

Cometchat iOS Components is an agent skill from cometchat/cometchat-skills. The CometChat iOS UI Kit component catalogue — what each component is for, its real API shape, and where custom UI goes. Use when picking or customising an individual component. Triggers: 'which cometchat component', 'customise the conversation row', 'add a custom view to the message list', 'ios component list'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: CometChatUIKitSwift 5.1.22 · iOS 15.1+

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design systems. It works with CometChat and iOS. The repository describes itself as: Add CometChat chat & messaging and voice & video calls to any React, Next.js, React Native, Angular, Android, iOS, or Flutter project through your AI coding agent. Works with… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Customising an individual component
  • Tasks that involve Design systems

Example prompts

  • “which cometchat component”
  • “customise the conversation row”
  • “add a custom view to the message list”
  • “/cometchat-ios-components”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): CometChatUIKitSwift 5.1.22 · iOS 15.1+

Workflow steps

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

  1. Setters return Self and are chainable: set(user:), set(onItemClick:), set(subtitle:).
  2. Properties are assigned: list.avatarStyle = …, conversations.onSearchClick = { … }, groups.onSelectedItemProceed = { … }.
  3. Named setters — setXxx(xxx:) with the label repeated: CometChatMessageInformation uses setSubtitle(subtitle:), setBubbleView(bubbleView:)…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 911b108. 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.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    CometChatUIKitSwift 5.1.22 · iOS 15.1+

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Cometchat iOS Components loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Companion skills (read first)

  • cometchat-ios-core owns install, credentials, init → login → render and the golden-path chat surface. This skill ADDS the per-component catalogue; it never restates core's setup. Fetch exact API via cometchat-ios-core/references/docs-map.md.

Use this skill when

Choosing a component, or customising one: "what shows the member list?", "put a badge on the conversation row", "swap the message bubble".

The catalogue (catalog-verified — nothing else exists)

ComponentFor
CometChatConversationsRecent-chats list · the usual entry point
CometChatMessageHeader · CometChatMessageList · CometChatCompactMessageComposerThe chat screen — you compose these three yourself
CometChatUsers · CometChatGroups · CometChatGroupMembersPickers and rosters
CometChatSearchGlobal search over conversations and messages
CometChatThreadedMessageHeaderThread parent header
CometChatCallButtons · CometChatIncomingCall · CometChatOngoingCall · CometChatCallLogsCalling → cometchat-ios-calls
CometChatAvatar · CometChatBadge · CometChatStatusIndicator · CometChatDate · CometChatReceiptBase building blocks
CometChatMessageInformation · CometChatAIAssistanceChatHistoryPer-message detail · AI history
CometChatScopeChangeChange a member's role. set(group:groupMember:), options: [(String, CometChat.MemberScope)] (property). PRESENT it as a sheet — its Cancel calls dismiss(), so pushing it strands the user. CometChatGroupMembers already presents it on row tap.

There is NO composite component. CometChatMessages, CometChat{Users,Groups,Conversations}WithMessages, CometChatAddMembers, CometChatMessageHeaderOption are v4 or non-existent — never emit them. If a symbol is not in catalogs/ios-v5.json, it does not exist in v5, whatever a page says.

Three API shapes — get this right or nothing compiles

  1. Setters return Self and are chainable: set(user:), set(onItemClick:), set(subtitle:).
  2. Properties are assigned: list.avatarStyle = …, conversations.onSearchClick = { … }, groups.onSelectedItemProceed = { … }.
  3. Named setters — setXxx(xxx:) with the label repeated: CometChatMessageInformation uses setSubtitle(subtitle:), setBubbleView(bubbleView:), setListItemView(listItemView:), setOnError(onError:). Writing them in shape-1 form (set(subtitle:)) does not compile on that component. Which is which is per component, and the kit is not consistent — CometChatConversations has set(subtitleView:)/set(trailView:) while CometChatUsers and CometChatGroups have set(subtitle:)/set(trailingView:), and CometChatGroupMembers uses the Conversations spelling. Never generalise a name across components — fetch the component's .md twin.

Where custom UI goes — IN the component's slot, never beside it

Every list component exposes: set(listItemView:) (whole row) · set(leadingView:) · set(titleView:) · subtitle · trailing · set(options:) (swipe/overflow actions). Use these instead of building your own row above the list. Empty/error/loading are assignable views inherited from CometChatListBase: emptyStateView, errorStateView, loadingView, plus emptyStateTitleText / emptyStateSubTitleText to retitle the built-in one. CometChatSearch is the exception — it does NOT inherit CometChatListBase, so it has none of that chrome; it uses set(emptyView:) / set(errorView:) / set(loadingView:) instead.

Gotchas

  • set(controller:) on any component that presents something (header, list, composer) or its built-in affordances render and do nothing.
  • CometChatAvatar — use setAvatar(avatarUrl:with:). set(image:) and init(image:) compile but render NOTHING. There is no set(user:). Measured on 5.1.19: an avatar given a UIImage through either set(image:) or init(image:) draws an empty circle — the image never appears, with no warning and no error, because the kit paints its own content over it. setAvatar(avatarUrl:with:) is the working path, and its with: name renders initials when no URL loads. There is also no no-arg init: CometChatAvatar() does not compile — construct with CometChatAvatar(image: nil) or CometChatAvatar(frame:) and then call setAvatar.
  • Search slots are per result TYPE: set(listItemViewForMessage:) plus …ForImage/Video/Audio/Document/Link/Conversation. There are no *ForMessage granular (title/subtitle/leading/trailing) slots — those exist for conversations only, as properties.

Verify it works

The component renders at full size, its custom slot appears in the right place (inside the row, not above the list), and every rendered control does something when tapped.
