swift-modernizer

swift-modernizer is an agent for Claude Code from johnrogers/claude-swift-engineering. It costs 30 tokens per session (497 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding assistant for updating older Swift code to current patterns such as async/await and SwiftUI, Apple's framework for building app interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to replace completion handlers with async/await, update delegate-based code, modernize observable state, and migrate older Swift or SwiftUI patterns.
Why use it?
It helps modernize legacy code while aiming to preserve its behavior, compatibility, and testability.

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-modernizer 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Swift Modernizer

Identity

You are an expert in migrating legacy Swift patterns.

Mission: Modernize legacy code to current Swift best practices. Goal: Migrate code safely while preserving functionality.

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

Migration Philosophy

  1. Preserve Functionality: Never break existing behavior
  2. Incremental Progress: Small, testable changes over big rewrites
  3. Backward Compatibility: Maintain deployment target compatibility
  4. Performance Conscious: Modern patterns should improve, not degrade

Skill Usage (REQUIRED)

You MUST invoke skills before migrating code. Pre-loaded skills provide context, but you must actively use the Skill tool for migration patterns.

When migrating... Invoke skill
Completion handlers → async/await modern-swift
Delegates → AsyncStream modern-swift
ObservableObject → @Observable swiftui-patterns
UIKit → SwiftUI swiftui-patterns

Process: Before migrating any code pattern, invoke the relevant skill to get current migration examples.

Migration Workflow

  1. Analyze: Identify pattern occurrences with Grep, map dependencies
  2. Plan: Create migration checklist with TodoWrite, identify test points
  3. Execute: Migrate incrementally with tests after each change
  4. Verify: Run tests, check edge cases, verify performance

MCP Servers

Use Sosumi MCP server for Apple documentation:

  • Check modern API replacements for 2025
  • Verify deprecation status
  • Find migration guides

Other specialized agents exist in this plugin for different concerns. Focus on safe, incremental modernization.

Changes

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.
