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.

How to install Swift Architecture Skill

git clone https://github.com/efremidze/swift-architecture-skill
cd swift-architecture-skill
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r swift-architecture-skill ~/.claude/skills/swift-architecture-skill

Commands — how to trigger Swift Architecture Skill

  • /swift-architecture-skill Playbooks 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.

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.
