Apple Docs Research
Overview
Use this skill to answer Apple platform coding and research questions by querying the Apple Developer Documentation and WWDC catalog via the apple-docs MCP tools. This skill replaces general web browsing for Apple-specific sources.
Workflow
- Clarify the target: Identify platform (iOS/macOS/etc.), framework, API, or WWDC topic. Ask a brief question if the scope is unclear.
- Select the right tool path:
- API or framework lookup:
search_apple_docs→get_apple_doc_contentfor details. - Framework exploration:
list_technologies→search_framework_symbols. - Availability / deployment targets:
get_platform_compatibility. - Related APIs / alternatives:
get_related_apisorfind_similar_apis. - WWDC sessions:
list_wwdc_videosorsearch_wwdc_content→get_wwdc_video. - Recent updates / release notes:
get_documentation_updates.
- API or framework lookup:
- Synthesize: Summarize findings, include version/platform constraints, and provide code or guidance grounded in the retrieved docs.
- If no result: Say what was searched, broaden with adjacent frameworks or WWDC content, then report gaps clearly.
Output Expectations
- Always use apple-docs MCP tools as the authoritative source for Apple docs and WWDC content.
- Prefer official Apple documentation content and WWDC sessions over third‑party sources.
- When user asks for “latest” or “most recent,” use
get_documentation_updatesor current WWDC year filters rather than assumptions. *** End Patch} />]

swiftui-simulator-ui
Run SwiftUI apps in iOS Simulator and capture screenshots for visual verification. Use when building UI, reviewing layouts, validating designs, or when you need to see what SwiftUI code looks like. Essential for any UI work requiring visual feedback.
9apple-docs-research
Use when researching or implementing anything related to Apple platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS), Swift/Objective-C APIs, Apple frameworks, WWDC sessions, or Apple Developer Documentation. Triggers include: \"find Apple's docs\", \"latest API guidance\", \"WWDC session\", \"platform availability\", \"SwiftUI/UIKit/AppKit/Combine/AVFoundation/etc.\", or any Apple SDK coding question where authoritative docs are needed. Always use the apple-docs MCP tools for discovery and citations instead of general web search.
8ios-xcodegen
XcodeGen workflows for iOS/iPadOS apps: generate projects from project.yml/project.yaml, fix build/test destination issues, wire asset catalogs, configure test hosts, manage SwiftPM resolution in CI, and resolve App Store packaging errors related to embedded static libraries.
5code-review
Review pull requests, commits, or diffs for high-signal engineering issues and merge risk. Use when asked to review code, audit a patch, find bugs, or provide merge readiness feedback. Focus on defects introduced by the proposed changes (correctness, security, performance, reliability, and maintainability) and report actionable findings with severity, confidence, and precise code locations.
4copywriting
When the user wants to write, rewrite, or improve marketing copy for any page — including homepage, landing pages, pricing pages, feature pages, about pages, or product pages. Also use when the user says "write copy for," "improve this copy," "rewrite this page," "marketing copy," "headline help," or "CTA copy." For email copy, see email-sequence. For popup copy, see popup-cro.
4free-tool-strategy
When the user wants to plan, evaluate, or build a free tool for marketing purposes — lead generation, SEO value, or brand awareness. Also use when the user mentions "engineering as marketing," "free tool," "marketing tool," "calculator," "generator," "interactive tool," "lead gen tool," "build a tool for leads," or "free resource." This skill bridges engineering and marketing — useful for founders and technical marketers.
