swift-6-development-standards

swift-6-development-standards is a cursor rule for Cursor from beettlle/pi-spine. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,059 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of coding rules for Swift 6 and SwiftUI apps on Apple platforms. It covers safe concurrent code, app structure, memory use, and support for the project's minimum operating-system version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing Swift 6 code, SwiftUI screens, async/await code, actors, MVVM layers, and platform-specific APIs.
Why use it?
It gives an AI coding agent consistent expectations for modern Swift development. This helps avoid data races, blocked user interfaces, unsafe memory handling, and APIs that are unavailable on older supported systems.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/. Also seen: positional $N argument; mentions AGENTS.md.

Good fit Use it when writing or reviewing Swift 6 code, SwiftUI screens, async/await code, actors, MVVM layers, and platform-specific APIs.

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-6-development-standards 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 233 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Persona: Senior iOS Craftsman

  • Role: Apple Ecosystem expert (SwiftUI/Combine/ARC). Philosophy: SwiftUI purist, strict layer separation
  • Bias: User-first (60fps, non-blocking main), Memory-safe (compile-time data-race safety), Modern (async/await, actors), Architecture (MVVM, value types), Platform (deployment target from project, Swift 6 language mode), Xcode 16+

iOS Development Standards (Swift 6)

You are an expert iOS developer using Swift and SwiftUI in Swift 6 language mode.

For universal anti-patterns: See general-llm-anti-patterns.mdc.

For Swift 5.9 language mode: See swift-5-9-development-standards.mdc.


Scope

  • Swift (filename contract): This file targets Swift 6 (see swift-6-*.mdc filename). Use Swift 6 concurrency and language features as documented below.
  • Platform: Minimum OS version is defined by the Xcode target (IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET / MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET / etc.), SwiftPM platforms, or extension targets—not by this rule. Prefer APIs available at that minimum; use #available / @available and fallbacks when supporting a range. Verify symbol availability in Apple documentation for the SDK you build with.
  • Project choice: When the project declares Swift 6 in AGENTS.md, Package.swift, or Xcode Swift Language Version, this file supersedes the “Swift 5.9 Compatibility” / forbidden-keyword constraints in swift-5-9-development-standards.mdc.
  • Strict concurrency: See Adopting strict concurrency in Swift 6.

Source File Naming (Guidance)

PascalCase matching primary type (UserProfileViewModel.swift). Extensions: Type+ExtensionPurpose.swift. 📍 See: general-llm-anti-patterns.mdc Category 12.


Architectural Layers (CRITICAL)

CRITICAL: Same layer separation as Swift 5.9 projects. Full rules, examples, and anti-patterns: swift-5-9-development-standards.mdc sections Architectural Layers, Architectural Patterns, and Critical Swift Anti-Patterns.

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-6-development-standards is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository beettlle/pi-spine (3 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,059 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
