Install

Recommended: any agent via skills CLI

The skills CLI is the recommended install method.

Interactive install (recommended):

npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills

Running the default command opens the skills CLI UI so you can choose which skills to install and which agent(s) to install them for.

Install everything for any coding agent:

npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --all

Use --all when you want the full set of 86 skills installed automatically for any coding agent.

Install specific skills directly:

npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --skill <skill-name> --skill <skill-name>

Check for updates to installed skills:

npx skills check

Update installed skills to the latest versions:

npx skills update

Use these after installing through the skills CLI.

Claude Code (via plugin marketplace)

Add the marketplace (one-time):

/plugin marketplace add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills

Install everything:

/plugin install all-ios-skills@swift-ios-skills

Or install a themed bundle (bundles limit how many skills load into the context window — if you want everything, use all-ios-skills above instead of installing multiple bundles):

/plugin install swiftui-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install swift-core-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-app-framework-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-data-framework-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-ai-ml-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-engineering-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-hardware-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-platform-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install ios-gaming-skills@swift-ios-skills
/plugin install apple-kit-skills@swift-ios-skills
