What it does

Swiftui Performance is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Profile, diagnose, and remediate SwiftUI runtime performance using code review, Instruments, and repeatable measurements. Use when a SwiftUI screen renders slowly, scrolling or animations hitch, view bodies update excessively, list identity churns, layout work spikes, or broad Observation dependencies raise CPU cost. Covers evidence-based triage, SwiftUI Instruments lanes, lazy-container guardrails, state lifetime, and before/after verification.

Its SKILL.md is about 3k 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/demystify-swiftui-performance-wwdc23.md` and `references/optimizing-swiftui-performance-instruments.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with SwiftUI. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for iOS 26+, Swift 6.3, SwiftUI, and modern Apple frameworks.

When your agent uses it

  • A SwiftUI screen renders slowly
  • Animations hitch
  • View bodies update excessively
  • List identity churns

Example prompts

  • “/swiftui-performance”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Code-First Review
  2. Guide the User to Profile
  3. Analyze and Diagnose
  4. Remediate
  5. Verify

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

Swiftui Performance loads about 3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,288 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.1k

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 1,288 words (~2,957 tokens).

“Audit SwiftUI view performance from a reproducible symptom to measured remediation. Route animation design to swiftui-animation, production telemetry to metrickit, ownership/leak analysis to ios-memgraph-analysis, navigation behavior to swiftui-navigation, state architecture to swiftui-patterns, and layout construction to swiftui-layout-components.”
