1Ios Liquid Glassios-liquid-glass is an agent skill from vabole/apple-skills focused on Apple's Liquid Glass design language—materials, depth layers, and motion that adapt to system context. Developers use it when implementing glass-like surfaces in SwiftUI or UIKit while preserving text legibility, frame performance, and accessibility on modern iOS versions. The skill emphasizes system-adaptive behavior so custom chrome respects platform conventions instead of static blur overlays. Reach for it when redesigning navigation bars, sheets, or controls to match current Apple HIG glass treatments without regressing scroll performance or contrast.422installs2Healthkithealthkit is a skill from vabole/apple-skills guiding developers through Apple HealthKit integration on iOS and watchOS. It covers requesting and handling health data permissions, configuring read and write types, enabling background delivery for workouts and vitals, and syncing health samples between iPhone and Apple Watch targets. Engineers reach for healthkit when adding step counts, heart rate, workout sessions, or clinical vitals to a SwiftUI or UIKit app without reverse-engineering entitlement and privacy plist requirements. The skill targets native Apple platform APIs rather than cross-platform health bridges.420installs3Highig is an agent skill from vabole/apple-skills that encodes Apple Human Interface Guidelines for designing and building native Apple platform interfaces. The skill helps developers choose correct navigation models, control sizing, typography, spacing, accessibility patterns, and platform-specific interaction behaviors across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS before or during UI implementation. Developers reach for hig when building SwiftUI or UIKit screens, macOS app panels, or watchOS complications that must feel native and pass App Store design expectations. It reduces rework by aligning layout and interaction decisions with Apple's documented HIG principles during the frontend build phase rather than after design review.398installs4Ios Devios-dev is the entry-point coordinator in vabole/apple-skills for any iOS or SwiftUI task. Instead of dumping generic mobile advice, it selects the correct downstream skill for building features, reviewing code, refactoring architecture, or debugging runtime issues while enforcing opinionated rules such as preferring native SwiftUI over unnecessary UIKit or AppKit bridging. The skill is marked user-invocable so developers can explicitly start here before navigating deeper Apple API references. Reach for ios-dev at the beginning of an iOS session when you need routed best-practice guidance plus full Apple framework references, especially when bridging decisions, lifecycle bugs, or SwiftUI composition problems appear.371installs5Xcuitestxcuitest is a vabole/apple-skills comprehensive reference for writing reliable XCUITest UI tests in Swift 6 with @MainActor test classes. Coverage spans XCUIApplication lifecycle (launchArguments, launchEnvironment, terminate), XCUIElementQuery patterns (buttons, predicates, chained descendants), interaction APIs (tap, swipe, pinch, typeText), and waiting via waitForExistence, XCTWaiter, and Xcode 16+ waitForNonExistence. Includes launch-argument recipes for disabling animations, stubbing API URLs, and resetting state between tests plus screenshot and attachment helpers for CI artifacts. The forked Explore agent context suits lookup during test authoring. Reach for xcuitest when building iOS UI test suites, debugging flaky element waits, or configuring CI-friendly XCUITest runs on simulators and devices.367installs6Apple Docs Indexapple-docs-index is part of the vabole/apple-skills plugin (30 skills total) and serves as the entry point for local Apple framework documentation indexes. It lists nine primary indexes including SwiftUI (907KB overview), UIKit (1.8MB overview), XCTest (55KB), XCUIAutomation (58KB), Core Animation (80KB), HealthKit (312KB), Combine (153KB), SwiftData (86KB), and Observation (3KB). Developers use it to browse available APIs, find paths to specific documentation, and decide whether to grep installed skill markdown or fetch from the sosumi.ai mirror. Reach for this skill when implementing SwiftUI views, UIKit controllers, HealthKit data, Combine pipelines, or XCTest suites and you need fast API discovery without loading full doc sets into context.359installs7Swiftuiswiftui is a vabole/apple-skills reference package for the SwiftUI framework. It includes 12 downloaded markdown files—swiftui-overview.md at 907KB as a full framework index plus focused references for View protocol modifiers, @State, @Binding, @Environment, @Observable, NavigationStack, NavigationSplitView, TabView, List, Canvas, and GraphicsContext. Agents grep local files first, check sibling Apple skills, then fetch missing pages from sosumi.ai using paths like swiftui/button or swiftui/sheet. The skill description covers iOS 26+ features and adaptive layouts across iPhone, iPad, Mac, watchOS, and visionOS. Developers reach for swiftui when implementing navigation stacks, observable state, lists, sheets, and immediate-mode Canvas drawing without leaving the coding agent.354installs8Swift Concurrencyswift-concurrency is a vabole/apple-skills reference package for Swift structured concurrency. It ships 7 downloaded markdown files covering Task, TaskGroup, Actor, AsyncSequence, AsyncStream, CheckedContinuation, and a concurrency overview index agents can grep locally before fetching sosumi.ai mirrors. The skill runs in a forked Explore agent context and instructs agents to search local docs first, then sibling Apple skills, then pull additional pages from developer.apple.com via sosumi.ai paths. Developers reach for swift-concurrency when refactoring callback-based network calls to async/await, isolating mutable state with actors, or bridging legacy APIs with continuations without data races.343installs9Swift Testingswift-testing is a skill from vabole/apple-skills that helps developers write and organize Swift Testing suites for iOS projects. The skill covers #expect assertions, parameterized test cases, and tag-based suite organization so application logic is validated before App Store submission and regression cycles. Developers reach for swift-testing when adopting Apple’s Swift Testing framework instead of legacy XCTest patterns or when structuring new test files for native iOS codebases. It targets mobile engineers who need clear, maintainable unit and integration tests aligned with Swift Testing conventions.341installs10Combinecombine is an agent skill from vabole/apple-skills that teaches AI coding agents how to connect SwiftUI or UIKit interfaces to asynchronous event streams with Apple's Combine framework. The skill covers publisher creation, subscriber lifecycle, operator chains for mapping and filtering, error handling, and binding patterns that keep UI state synchronized with network, timer, or notification sources. Developers reach for combine when refactoring callback-heavy view models, debouncing user input, merging multiple async sources, or replacing NotificationCenter spaghetti with typed pipelines. It fits iOS teams standardizing on Combine-backed architecture in SwiftUI screens or UIKit view controllers that already import Combine.328installs11CorehapticsTeaches Core Haptics on Apple platforms: engine lifecycle, AHAP patterns, transient and continuous events, audio sync, and hardware fallbacks so agents add polished tactile feedback to SwiftUI and UIKit interactions.225installs12Ios Design ConsultantActs as an iOS design consultant from vabole/apple-skills: critique flows and UI against Apple HIG, suggest native layouts and components, and steer prototypes toward intuitive, accessible iPhone and iPad experiences before build.222installs13Storekitstorekit from vabole/apple-skills covers StoreKit 2 monetization: define products and subscriptions, implement purchase and restore flows, verify transactions, gate features by entitlement, and handle App Store billing edge cases in iOS apps.222installs14Guide Swiftui Ui PatternsGuide to SwiftUI UI patterns for Apple apps: composable views, navigation, observable state, adaptive layouts, lists, sheets, and accessibility.
