What it does
Swiftdata is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Implement, review, or improve data persistence using SwiftData. Use when defining @Model classes with @Attribute, @Relationship, @Transient, Unique, or Index; when querying with @Query, Predicate, FetchDescriptor, or SortDescriptor; when configuring ModelContainer and ModelContext for SwiftUI or background work with @ModelActor; when planning schema migrations with VersionedSchema and SchemaMigrationPlan; when setting up CloudKit sync with ModelConfiguration; or when coexisting with or migrating from Core Data.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/core-data-coexistence.md` and `references/indexing.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development and Database migrations. It works with SwiftUI and iOS. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for iOS 26+, Swift 6.3, SwiftUI, and modern Apple frameworks.
When your agent uses it
- Defining @Model classes with @Attribute
- Querying with @Query
- FetchDescriptor
- Configuring ModelContainer and ModelContext for SwiftUI
Example prompts
- “/swiftdata”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d90fd1. 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
Swiftdata loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~19k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 132 tokens; SKILL.md has 823 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 823 words (~3,933 tokens).
“Persist, query, and manage structured data in iOS 26+ apps using SwiftData with Swift 6.3.”
