At a glance

Implement async/await, Actors, and structured concurrency in Swift.

  • Implementing Swift async/await
  • SKILL.md covers Priority: P0 (CRITICAL), Write Structured Async Code, Isolate State with Actors and Manage Task Lifecycle, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Structured concurrency in iOS/macOS

What it does

Swift Concurrency is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Implement async/await, Actors, and structured concurrency in Swift. Use when implementing Swift async/await, Actors, or structured concurrency in iOS/macOS.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/implementation.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development and Async programming. It works with Swift, iOS and macOS. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Implementing Swift async/await
  • Structured concurrency in iOS/macOS

Example prompts

  • “/swift-concurrency”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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.

Context cost

Swift Concurrency loads about 545 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~545
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

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 Concurrency

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Write Structured Async Code

  • Async Functions: Mark with async and call with await.
  • async let: Use async let for parallel execution when multiple tasks independent.
  • Task Groups: Use withTaskGroup or withThrowingTaskGroup for spawning dynamic number of tasks.
  • Error Handling: Combine with throws. Always handle CancellationError.

See implementation examples for parallel fetch with async let and Task Groups.

Isolate State with Actors

  • Data Isolation: Use actor for shared mutable state to avoid data races.
  • @MainActor: Annotate UI classes (Views, ViewModels) with @MainActor for main thread execution. Use MainActor.run { ... } for inline UI updates in async blocks.
  • Global Actors: Use @GlobalActor for specific thread-bound resources.
  • nonisolated: Use nonisolated for methods that don't access actor state to avoid unnecessary hops.

See implementation examples for Actor-based state isolation and nonisolated methods.

Manage Task Lifecycle

  • Task Hierarchy: Inherit isolation by using Task { ... }.
  • Cancellation: Explicitly check Task.isCancelled in long loops. Use try Task.checkCancellation() for throwing functions.
  • Detached Tasks: Avoid Task.detached unless you explicitly want to break context inheritance.

Anti-Patterns

  • No synchronous work in @MainActor: not block main thread.
  • No UI updates off @MainActor: Always dispatch back to main via MainActor.
  • No ignored cancellation: Always check and propagate cancellation.
