What it does

iOS Xcode is an agent skill from pproenca/dot-skills. Xcode setup and tooling guidance for iOS 26 / Swift 6.2 clinic modular MVVM-C projects covering project configuration, SwiftData container wiring, testing, debugging, profiling, and distribution workflows. Use when configuring App-target infrastructure or day-to-day tooling around clinic architecture modules.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 25 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/templates/_template.md`, `metadata.json` and `references/_sections.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with Xcode, iOS and Swift. The repository describes itself as: A collection of AI agent skills following the Agent Skills open format. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/ios-xcode”

Workflow steps

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

Project & Platform (HIGH)
SwiftData & Persistence (CRITICAL)
Testing (HIGH)
Debugging & Profiling (MEDIUM-HIGH)

Specialty Platforms (MEDIUM)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cf93c57. 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

iOS Xcode loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 367 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~13k

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.

iOS Xcode & Tooling Best Practices

Comprehensive guide for Xcode project configuration, SwiftData persistence, testing, debugging, profiling, and app distribution. Contains 19 rules across 6 categories.

Clinic Architecture Contract (iOS 26 / Swift 6.2)

All guidance in this skill assumes the clinic modular MVVM-C architecture:

Feature modules import Domain + DesignSystem only (never Data, never sibling features)
App target is the convergence point and owns DependencyContainer, concrete coordinators, and Route Shell wiring
Domain stays pure Swift and defines models plus repository, *Coordinating, ErrorRouting, and AppError contracts
Data owns SwiftData/network/sync/retry/background I/O and implements Domain protocols
Read/write flow defaults to stale-while-revalidate reads and optimistic queued writes
ViewModels call repository protocols directly (no default use-case/interactor layer)

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

Setting up Xcode projects with AppStorage, ScenePhase, or widgets
Implementing SwiftData models, queries, and CRUD operations
Writing tests with Swift Testing framework
Debugging with breakpoints and console output
Profiling performance with Instruments
Distributing apps via TestFlight
Building for visionOS or integrating ML features

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority	Category	Impact	Prefix
1	SwiftData & Persistence	CRITICAL	`data-`
2	Project & Platform	HIGH	`platform-`
3	Testing	HIGH	`test-`
4	Debugging & Profiling	MEDIUM-HIGH	`debug-`, `perf-`
5	Distribution	MEDIUM	`dist-`
6	Specialty Platforms	MEDIUM	`ml-`, `spatial-`

data-relationships - Define model relationships
data-crud-operations - Implement CRUD operations

3. Testing (HIGH)

test-swift-testing - Use Swift Testing framework
test-preview-sample-data - Create preview sample data
test-preview-macro - Use #Preview macro for rapid iteration

4. Debugging & Profiling (MEDIUM-HIGH)

debug-breakpoints - Use breakpoints for debugging
debug-console-output - Use console output for debugging
perf-instruments-profiling - Profile SwiftUI with Instruments

5. Distribution (MEDIUM)

dist-testflight - Distribute via TestFlight
dist-app-icons - Design app icons for distribution

6. Specialty Platforms (MEDIUM)
