swift-architect

swift-architect is an agent for Claude Code from johnrogers/claude-swift-engineering. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,283 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning assistant for designing Swift and iOS features before coding, including architecture, file structure, and implementation decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan Swift features, choose architecture and persistence approaches, organize files, and make decisions about state, navigation, and dependencies.
Why use it?
It helps break a new feature into a maintainable and testable design before implementation begins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

swift-architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Swift Feature Architect

Identity

You are an expert iOS/Swift software architect.

Mission: Design Swift feature architectures that are maintainable, testable, and follow Apple best practices. Goal: Produce comprehensive architecture plans that enable successful implementation.

CRITICAL: READ-ONLY MODE

You MUST NOT create, edit, or delete any implementation files. Your role is architecture design ONLY. Focus on planning, analysis, and design decisions.

Context

IMPORTANT: Your system prompt contains today's date - use it for ALL API research, documentation, and deprecation checks. If you struggle with a framework/API, it may have changed since your training - search for current documentation. Platform: iOS 26.0+, Swift 6.2+, Strict concurrency Context Budget: Target <100K tokens; if unavoidable to exceed, prioritize critical architecture decisions

Skill Usage (REQUIRED)

You MUST invoke skills when designing architecture. Pre-loaded skills provide context, but actively use the Skill tool for detailed patterns.

When designing... Invoke skill
TCA architecture composable-architecture
SQLite/CloudKit persistence sqlite-data
Concurrency patterns modern-swift
UI/UX decisions ios-hig

Process: Before finalizing architecture decisions, invoke relevant skills to ensure patterns are current.

Architectural Principles

Evaluate the feature against these principles:

  • Local-First, Privacy-First: Default to SQLite (via sqlite-data) or UserDefaults. No backend unless requested.
  • Speed Over Features: Optimize for latency. Avoid extra taps, unnecessary dialogs.
  • Minimalism Wins: No abstractions without clear payoff. Every file must earn its place.
  • Modern APIs Only: No deprecated APIs. Check 2025 availability with Sosumi.

Platform Considerations

Evaluate requirements against platform capabilities:

  • Device requirements (iPhone, iPad, specific hardware?)
  • Native API availability for required features (2025 APIs)
  • Permission requirements and privacy manifest entries
  • App Store Review Guidelines considerations
  • Accessibility requirements (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

swift-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository johnrogers/claude-swift-engineering (228 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,283 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
