What it does

Search Ios26 Docs is an agent skill from pproenca/dot-skills. Search and inspect local iOS 26 SDK documentation and Swift interfaces, especially SwiftUI and SwiftUICore. Use when Codex needs current iOS 26 SwiftUI APIs, Liquid Glass components, view modifiers, availability, signatures, deprecations, symbol docs, or SDK-only facts and should not rely on memory or public web docs being available.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `metadata.json` and `scripts/build_cache.py`).

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

When your agent uses it

  • Codex needs current iOS 26 SwiftUI APIs
  • Liquid Glass components
  • SDK-only facts and should not rely on memory
  • Public web docs being available

Example prompts

  • “/search-ios26-docs”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Resolve the active SDK with xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-path.
  2. Use scripts/search_symbols.py for prose docs, symbol names, declarations, and availability. This reads cached swift-symbolgraph-extract…
  3. Add --verify-interfaces or use scripts/probe_symbol.py when exact compiler declarations, overloads, underscored symbols, generated…
  4. Use --find-module PATTERN or --list-modules to discover candidate SDK modules, then rerun with explicit --module values.
  5. Cite findings as local SDK facts. If a symbol is not found in symbol graphs, check sourceOnlyMatches from --verify-interfaces before…

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

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • xcrun
    • rg

    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

Search Ios26 Docs loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 542 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Search and inspect local iOS 26 SDK documentation and Swift interfaces, especially SwiftUI and SwiftUICore. Use when Codex needs current iOS 26 SwiftUI APIs, Liquid Glass components, view modifiers, availability, signatures, deprecations, symbol docs, or SDK-only facts and should not rely on memory or public web docs being available.

Search iOS 26 Docs

Use the local Xcode iPhone Simulator SDK as the source of truth for iOS 26 APIs. Prefer this skill before web search when the task asks what is available in the current SDK, how a SwiftUI symbol is declared, what availability it has, or whether an iOS 26 API exists.

Quick Start

Build or refresh the cached symbol graphs:

bash
python3 "$HOME/.codex/skills/search-ios26-docs/scripts/build_cache.py"

Search SwiftUI and SwiftUICore symbol docs:

bash
python3 "$HOME/.codex/skills/search-ios26-docs/scripts/search_symbols.py glass button style
python3 "$HOME/.codex/skills/search-ios26-docs/scripts/search_symbols.py backgroundExtensionEffect --ios26
python3 "$HOME/.codex/skills/search-ios26-docs/scripts/search_symbols.py toolbar spacer --module SwiftUI --limit 12

Probe a symbol or concept with exact SDK source snippets attached:

bash
python3 "$HOME/.codex/skills/search-ios26-docs/scripts/probe_symbol.py" ZoomNavigationTransition --module SwiftUI
python3 "$HOME/.codex/skills/search-ios26-docs/scripts/search_symbols.py" VNRecognizeTextRequest --module Vision --verify-interfaces --limit 12

Discover SDK modules before deciding where to search:

bash
python3 "$HOME/.codex/skills/search-ios26-docs/scripts/search_symbols.py" --find-module vision
python3 "$HOME/.codex/skills/search-ios26-docs/scripts/search_symbols.py" --list-modules

The search script auto-builds the default cache on first use. Use --force on build_cache.py when Xcode changes or search results look stale.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the active SDK with xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-path.
  2. Use scripts/search_symbols.py for prose docs, symbol names, declarations, and availability. This reads cached swift-symbolgraph-extract output from the local SDK.
  3. Add --verify-interfaces or use scripts/probe_symbol.py when exact compiler declarations, overloads, underscored symbols, generated attributes, or platform availability matter. Verification searches .swiftinterface, headers, and apinotes and reports source snippets plus diagnostics.
  4. Use --find-module PATTERN or --list-modules to discover candidate SDK modules, then rerun with explicit --module values.
  5. Cite findings as local SDK facts. If a symbol is not found in symbol graphs, check sourceOnlyMatches from --verify-interfaces before concluding it does not exist.

Interface Inspection

Swift interfaces are API surfaces, not full documentation. They are still the best fallback for exact signatures and attributes:

bash
SDK_PATH=$(xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-path)
SWIFTUI="$SDK_PATH/System/Library/Frameworks/SwiftUI.framework/Modules/SwiftUI.swiftmodule/arm64-apple-ios-simulator.swiftinterface"
SWIFTUICORE="$SDK_PATH/System/Library/Frameworks/SwiftUICore.framework/Modules/SwiftUICore.swiftmodule/arm64-apple-ios-simulator.swiftinterface"

rg -n "GlassButtonStyle|backgroundExtensionEffect|SpacerSizing" "$SWIFTUI" "$SWIFTUICORE"
sed -n '1200,1235p' "$SWIFTUI"

Use interface grep for:

  • overload sets and generic constraints
  • @available, deprecation, and rename messages
  • internal-adjacent underscored declarations visible in the SDK
  • declarations missing prose docs in symbol graphs
Show full SKILL.md (278 more words)Show less

Symbol Graph Cache

The cache defaults to:

text
${CODEX_IOS26_DOCS_CACHE:-$HOME/.cache/codex/search-ios26-docs}/<sdk-name>/<target>/<module>/

Default modules are SwiftUI and SwiftUICore. Add more modules when needed:

bash
python3 "$HOME/.codex/skills/search-ios26-docs/scripts/build_cache.py --module UIKit --module Foundation
python3 "$HOME/.codex/skills/search-ios26-docs/scripts/search_symbols.py safeAreaRegions --module UIKit

Useful options:

  • build_cache.py --list prints cache location and SDK details without extracting.
  • build_cache.py --force deletes and rebuilds selected module caches.
  • search_symbols.py --json emits machine-readable results.
  • search_symbols.py --verify-interfaces attaches matching .swiftinterface, header, or apinotes snippets and diagnostics to shown results.
  • probe_symbol.py QUERY ... is shorthand for a verified, non-deduped symbol probe with full docs.
  • search_symbols.py --find-module PATTERN lists SDK modules with names matching a substring.
  • search_symbols.py --list-modules lists SDK framework modules visible to the helper.
  • search_symbols.py --kind "Instance Method" narrows result kind.
  • search_symbols.py --ios26 filters to symbols introduced in iOS 26 or later.
  • search_symbols.py --introduced iOS:26 filters by an explicit availability domain and major version.
  • search_symbols.py --no-doc hides doc snippets for compact output.
  • search_symbols.py --no-dedupe keeps repeated extension results when every concrete receiver matters.
  • search_symbols.py --source-limit 8 --source-context-lines 6 adjusts verified source snippets.

Test

Run the end-to-end tests after changing the helper scripts. They use the actual installed SDK and validate symbol graph search, verified source snippets, module discovery, and explicit module drill-down:

bash
python3 "$HOME/.codex/skills/search-ios26-docs/tests/test_search_symbols_e2e.py"

Interpretation Rules

  • Treat symbol graph docs as extracted local Apple SDK metadata, not generated guesses.
  • Treat .swiftinterface as the compiler-facing declaration source.
  • Treat headers and apinotes as first-class fallback sources for Objective-C-backed frameworks.
  • When symbol graphs and verified SDK source disagree, prefer the verified SDK source and report the mismatch.
  • Do not assume public Apple Developer web pages are complete or current for iOS 26 beta/new SDK APIs.
  • If symbol graph extraction fails for a module, fall back to rg over framework interfaces under $SDK_PATH/System/Library/Frameworks and $SDK_PATH/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks.
  • Report the active SDK basename, target triple, and module when precision matters.
