  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

SwiftData Skills

SwiftData modeling patterns beyond the basics.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

  • Designs **hierarchical SwiftData models** (class inheritance)
  • Needs **type-based or polymorphic queries**
  • Weighs **inheritance vs enum** for model variants

Available Skills

Paths are relative to THIS file's directory — skills run with cwd set to the user's project, so resolve each path from this SKILL.md's own location.

| Skill | Read | Covers | |-------|------|--------| | inheritance | `inheritance/SKILL.md` | Class inheritance, polymorphic relationships, type-based querying, inheritance-vs-enum |

How to Route

1. Read `inheritance/SKILL.md` (relative to this file) plus any reference files it lists. 2. Apply the guidance to the user's code. For broader macOS SwiftData architecture, see also `../macos/swiftdata-architecture/SKILL.md`.
