swiftui-native-component-design-skill: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

swiftui-native-component-design-skill AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from alexanderwe/swiftui-native-component-design-skill. It costs 1,165 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for designing reusable SwiftUI components, Apple’s framework for building app interfaces. It focuses on how components accept data, manage bindings, and expose customization options.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning SwiftUI component inputs, initializers, state bindings, styles, and environment-based customization.
Why use it?
It helps keep a component’s public interface focused and reusable without forcing a particular app architecture.

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: Claude Code plugin machinery, but also the file is AGENTS.md.

This is alexanderwe/swiftui-native-component-design-skill's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on swiftui-native-component-design-skill itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

swiftui-native-component-design-skill AGENTS.md 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.

Agent Guidelines for SwiftUI Native Component Design Skill

Guidance for AI agents working on this skill's content, to keep it consistent and avoid scope creep.

Core Principles

1. Component API design only

This skill is about the API surface of a reusable SwiftUI component: classification (semantic vs. prescriptive), semantic modeling, data-flow primitives (Binding vs. immutable input vs. @State), initializer shape, and the customization mechanism (ViewStyle vs. environment value). Do not expand it into:

  • A general SwiftUI-patterns reference (state management internals, performance tuning, Liquid Glass, Swift Charts, navigation/list patterns) — that's a different skill's job
  • Swift language features unrelated to component API shape
  • Backend, networking, or persistence concerns

2. No architectural mandates

Don't enforce MVVM/MVC/VIPER, view-model requirements, or folder-structure conventions. The skill's five steps apply regardless of the surrounding app architecture.

3. Templates are adaptable, not literal

The reference files (initializers.md, view-styles.md, environment-customization.md) work through one concrete example each (Card/Tag, Rating/RatingStyle, Tag/tagBackgroundStyle). When applying the skill, the pattern (protocol shape, resolver-view structure, @Entry registration) is what transfers — names and concrete types should be renamed to fit whatever component is actually being designed. When editing the reference files themselves, keep them structured as one clear worked example rather than a menu of variations.

4. Classification drives everything downstream

Step 1 (semantic vs. prescriptive) is a fork in the road for Step 5 (customization API). Don't add guidance that lets a component skip classification and jump straight to picking a customization mechanism — that's the exact anti-pattern the skill exists to prevent (either over-building style-protocol machinery for something that will never need it, or under-building a fixed environment-only API for something that genuinely needs swappable visual representations).

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.
