What it does

Update Swiftui APIs is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Scan Apple's SwiftUI documentation for deprecated APIs and update the SwiftUI Expert Skill with modern replacements.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/scan-manifest.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with SwiftUI and iOS. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve iOS development

Example prompts

  • “/update-swiftui-apis”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Understand current coverage
  2. Load the scan manifest
  3. Scan Apple documentation
  4. Compare and identify changes
  5. Update latest-apis.md
  6. Open a pull request

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Update Swiftui APIs loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 583 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.9k

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.

Update SwiftUI APIs

When to Use

Use this skill when you need scan Apple's SwiftUI documentation for deprecated APIs and update the SwiftUI Expert Skill with modern replacements. Use when asked to "update latest APIs", "refresh deprecated SwiftUI APIs", "check for new SwiftUI deprecations", "scan for API changes", or after a new iOS/Xcode...

Systematically scan Apple's developer documentation via the Sosumi MCP, identify deprecated SwiftUI APIs and their modern replacements, and update swiftui-expert-skill/references/latest-apis.md.

Prerequisites

  • Sosumi MCP must be enabled and available (provides searchAppleDocumentation, fetchAppleDocumentation, fetchAppleVideoTranscript, fetchExternalDocumentation)
  • Write access to this repository (or a fork)

Workflow

1. Understand current coverage

Read swiftui-expert-skill/references/latest-apis.md to understand:

  • Which deprecated-to-modern transitions are already documented
  • The version segments in use (iOS 15+, 16+, 17+, 18+, 26+)
  • The Quick Lookup Table at the bottom
2. Load the scan manifest

Read references/scan-manifest.md (relative to this skill). It contains the categorized list of API areas, documentation paths, search queries, and WWDC video paths to scan.

3. Scan Apple documentation

For each category in the manifest:

  1. Call searchAppleDocumentation with the listed queries to discover relevant pages.
  2. Call fetchAppleDocumentation with specific documentation paths to get full API details.
  3. Look for deprecation notices, "Deprecated" labels, and "Use ... instead" guidance.
  4. Note the iOS version where the modern replacement became available.
  5. Optionally call fetchAppleVideoTranscript for WWDC sessions that announce API changes.

Batch related searches together for efficiency. Focus on finding new deprecations not yet in latest-apis.md.

4. Compare and identify changes

Compare findings against existing entries. Categorize results:

  • New deprecations: APIs not yet documented in latest-apis.md
  • Corrections: Existing entries that need updating (wrong version, better replacement available)
  • New version segments: If a new iOS version introduces deprecations, add a new section
5. Update latest-apis.md

Follow the established format exactly. Each entry must include:

Section placement -- place under the correct version segment:

  • "Always Use (iOS 15+)" for long-deprecated APIs
  • "When Targeting iOS 16+" / "17+" / "18+" / "26+" for version-gated changes

Entry format:

markdown
**Always use `modernAPI()` instead of `deprecatedAPI()`.**

\```swift
// Modern
View()
    .modernAPI()

// Deprecated
View()
    .deprecatedAPI()
\```

Quick Lookup Table -- add a row at the bottom of the file:

markdown
| `deprecatedAPI()` | `modernAPI()` | iOS XX+ |

Keep the attribution line at the top of the file:

Based on a comparison of Apple's documentation using the Sosumi MCP, we found the latest recommended APIs to use.

6. Open a pull request
  1. Create a branch from main named update/latest-apis-YYYY-MM (use current year and month).
  2. Commit changes to swiftui-expert-skill/references/latest-apis.md.
  3. Open a PR via gh pr create with:
    • Title: "Update latest SwiftUI APIs (Month Year)"
    • Body: Summary of new/changed entries, attribution to Sosumi MCP

Sosumi MCP Tool Reference

ToolParametersReturns
searchAppleDocumentationquery (string)JSON with results[] containing title, url, description, breadcrumbs, tags, type
fetchAppleDocumentationpath (string, e.g. /documentation/swiftui/view/foregroundstyle(_:))Markdown documentation content
fetchAppleVideoTranscriptpath (string, e.g. /videos/play/wwdc2025/10133)Markdown transcript
fetchExternalDocumentationurl (string, full https URL)Markdown documentation content

Tips

  • Start broad with searchAppleDocumentation queries, then drill into specific paths with fetchAppleDocumentation.
  • Apple's deprecation docs typically say "Deprecated" in the page and link to the replacement.
  • WWDC "What's new in SwiftUI" sessions are the best source for newly introduced replacements.
  • When unsure about the exact iOS version for a deprecation, verify by checking the "Availability" section in the fetched documentation.
  • If an API is deprecated but no direct replacement exists, note this rather than suggesting an incorrect alternative.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
  • Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
  • Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
