swift-viper-architecture

swift-viper-architecture is a cursor rule for Cursor from danielraffel/SwiftCatalyst. It costs 1,570 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Coding guidelines for organizing SwiftUI apps with VIPER, an architecture that separates screens, data, navigation, and business operations into distinct parts. They also cover current Swift features, asynchronous code, project folders, and file names.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when creating or reviewing SwiftUI features, arranging VIPER modules, handling asynchronous work with async/await, configuring environment settings, and supporting hot reloading.
Why use it?
They give a consistent structure for SwiftUI projects, making it clearer where each part of a feature belongs and how modules should be named.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-viper-architecture 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 5d 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 VIPER Architecture Guidelines

General Guidelines

  1. Use the latest SwiftUI APIs and features whenever possible.
  2. Implement async/await for asynchronous operations.
  3. Write clean, readable, and well-structured code.
  4. Follow the VIPER architecture to ensure modularity and scalability.

Project Structure

All code should follow the established project structure:

  • Base directory: SwiftCatalyst
  • Main code in: Sources
  • VIPER modules in: Sources/Modules/[ModuleName]/[ComponentType]/[ModuleName][ComponentType].swift

File Naming Convention

  • Module components should be named with the pattern [ModuleName][ComponentType].swift
  • For example:
    • HomeView.swift
    • HomePresenter.swift
    • HomeInteractor.swift
    • HomeEntity.swift
    • HomeRouter.swift

Project Configuration

Environment Variables

To make the project more configurable, use a .env file for environment-specific settings.

  1. Create a .env file in the project root (add it to your .gitignore)
  2. Use the .env.example file as a template for required variables
  3. Run ./generate-project.sh to create your project.yml from the template

The Configuration.swift file provides centralized access to all environment variables:

// Example usage:
let appName = Configuration.appName
let bundleId = Configuration.bundleIdPrefix + "." + Configuration.appName

This pattern allows for easy customization of:

  • App name and bundle identifiers
  • Team ID and app group ID
  • API endpoints
  • Feature flags
  • Other environment-specific configuration

VIPER Architecture Overview

Each module in your SwiftUI app should follow the VIPER structure:

1. View

  • The SwiftUI View handles user interface (UI) rendering and user interactions.
  • Import the Inject framework to enable hot reloading.
  • Use @ObserveInjection to monitor changes for hot reloading.
  • Use the .enableInjection() modifier in the view body.

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.
