For a single-screen SwiftUI profile-edit form, the baseline answer was 'use MVVM' with no justification; the skill produced a cited fit result off the decision matrix (SwiftUI fit: Excellent, low learning curve), the Loadable<Value> state-enum pattern from mvvm.md instead of boolean soup, explicit async-cancellation guidance, and a closing PR checklist.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Swift Architecture Skill does
Provides a structured fit-check and per-architecture playbook (file structure, state modeling, DI, async/cancellation, testing, PR checklist) for eight Swift/SwiftUI/UIKit architecture patterns, chosen via an explicit decision matrix and signal list rather than generic recall. Triggers when designing, implementing, refactoring, or reviewing the architecture of a SwiftUI or UIKit feature, module, or codebase, whether or not the user names a pattern up front.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Swift Architecture Skill
-
/swift-architecture-skillPlaybooks and a decision matrix for picking/reviewing MVVM, MVI, TCA, Clean, VIPER, Reactive, MVP, or Coordinator in Swift.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
How should I structure this new SwiftUI screen architecturally? -
Can you review this ViewModel for architecture violations? -
We're migrating our UIKit app from MVC to TCA, help plan it
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Swift Architecture Skill skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from efremidze/swift-architecture-skill. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Swift Architecture Skill work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. For a single-screen SwiftUI profile-edit form, the baseline answer was 'use MVVM' with no justification; the skill produced a cited fit result off the decision matrix (SwiftUI fit: Excellent, low learning curve), the Loadable<Value> state-enum pattern from mvvm.md instead of boolean soup, explicit async-cancellation guidance, and a closing PR checklist.
- What is the Swift Architecture Skill SkillProof Score?
- 9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Swift Architecture Skill?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Swift Architecture Skill with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
