What it does

Swiftui Uikit Interop is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Bridges UIKit and SwiftUI with UIViewRepresentable, UIViewControllerRepresentable, UIHostingController, UIHostingConfiguration, coordinator delegates, and UIKit automatic observation tracking for shared @Observable state. Use when wrapping UIKit-only or third-party UIKit views/controllers in SwiftUI, embedding SwiftUI in UIKit, integrating mail/share/document/PDF/text-view surfaces, or migrating UIKit apps to SwiftUI incrementally.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/hosting-migration.md` and `references/representable-recipes.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

  • Wrapping UIKit-only
  • Third-party UIKit views/controllers in SwiftUI
  • Embedding SwiftUI in UIKit
  • Integrating mail/share/document/PDF/text-view surfaces

Example prompts

  • “Use the swiftui-uikit-interop skill to bridge UIKit and SwiftUI with UIViewRepresentable, UIViewControllerRepresentable, UIHostingController…”
  • “/swiftui-uikit-interop”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Set the delegate in makeUIView/makeUIViewController, never in updateUIView. The update method can run many times for state changes…
  2. Refresh copied parent state yourself. If the coordinator stores the representable in a var parent, assign context.coordinator.parent =…
  3. Use [weak coordinator] in closures to avoid retain cycles between the coordinator and UIKit objects that capture it.

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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • sosumi.ai

    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 Uikit Interop loads about 4.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,277 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~17k

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 1,277 words (~4,674 tokens).

“Bridge UIKit and SwiftUI in both directions: wrap UIKit views and controllers, embed SwiftUI in UIKit screens, and synchronize state without duplicating lifecycle ownership.”
