swift-conventions

swift-conventions is a cursor rule for Cursor from moasq/ios-dev-agent. It costs 1,140 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Swift coding rules for modern iOS apps, including supported versions, allowed frameworks, and concurrency practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides SwiftUI views, observable models, asynchronous work, styling, and framework selection in iOS projects.
Why use it?
It keeps Swift code consistent with the project's platform and architecture choices, reducing incompatible or outdated implementations.

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-conventions 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 Conventions

Platform Requirements

  • Swift 6 language version
  • iOS 26+ deployment target
  • SwiftUI-first architecture. UIKit is allowed only when no viable SwiftUI equivalent exists for a required feature.
  • No Storyboards or XIBs

Allowed Frameworks

Only import from this list:

  • SwiftUI
  • Foundation
  • SwiftData
  • Observation
  • OSLog (for logging)
  • UIKit (only for required bridges or APIs without a SwiftUI equivalent)
  • PhotosUI (only when the app requires photo picking)
  • AVFoundation (only when the app requires audio/video)
  • MapKit (only when the app requires maps)
  • CoreLocation (only when the app requires location)

API Preferences

Use modern APIs — avoid deprecated alternatives:

Use This Not This
foregroundStyle() foregroundColor()
clipShape(.rect(cornerRadius:)) .cornerRadius()
@Observable ObservableObject
@State with @Observable @StateObject
.onChange(of:) { new in } .onChange(of:) { old, new in } (iOS 17+ form)
.task { await … } .onAppear { Task { await … } } (use .task for async work)
.onAppear { } (acceptable for synchronous setup like passing modelContext)
NavigationStack NavigationView

Swift 6 Concurrency Safety

Swift 6 enables strict concurrency checking by default. All data races are compile-time errors.

Sendable Conformance

  • All types that cross isolation boundaries MUST conform to Sendable.
  • Value types (structs, enums) with only Sendable stored properties are implicitly Sendable.
  • Reference types (classes) must be final and have only immutable (let) Sendable stored properties, OR be marked @unchecked Sendable with manual thread safety (mutex/lock).
  • Closures that cross isolation boundaries must be @Sendable — they cannot capture mutable local state.

@MainActor Isolation

  • ViewModels that update @Published or @Observable state MUST be annotated @MainActor.
  • Services that read/write UI-bound state MUST be @MainActor.
  • SwiftUI Views are implicitly @MainActor, so @State var vm: SomeViewModel works if SomeViewModel is @MainActor.
  • Use @MainActor on the class/actor declaration, not on individual methods — partial isolation causes confusing errors.

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.
