sqlite-data

Guidance for using SQLiteData, a Swift library for storing app data in SQLite databases. It covers table models, queries, inserts and updates, migrations, SwiftUI integration, and private CloudKit synchronization.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when defining database models, fetching or changing records, connecting data to SwiftUI views, writing migrations, or setting up CloudKit private-database sync.
Why use it?
It provides patterns for keeping local data structured and type-checked instead of building database access from scattered raw queries. It also addresses changes to the database and syncing private data through CloudKit.

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

sqlite-data 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SQLite Data

SQLiteData provides type-safe SQLite access through Swift macros, simplifying database modeling and queries while handling CloudKit sync, migrations, and async patterns automatically.

Reference Loading Guide

ALWAYS load reference files if there is even a small chance the content may be required. It's better to have the context than to miss a pattern or make a mistake.

Reference Load When
Table Models Defining tables with @Table, setting up primary keys, columns, or enums
Queries - Basics Using @FetchAll, @FetchOne, @Selection, filtering, ordering, or joins
Queries - Advanced Using @Fetch with FetchKeyRequest, dynamic queries, recursive CTEs, or direct reads
Writes Inserting, updating, upserting, deleting records, or managing transactions
Views - SwiftUI Using @FetchAll/@FetchOne in SwiftUI views, @Observable models, or animations
Views - Integration UIKit integration, dynamic query loading, TCA integration, or observe {}
Migrations Creating database migrations with DatabaseMigrator or #sql() macro
CloudKit Sync Setting up CloudKit private database sync, sharing, or sync delegates
Dependencies Injecting database/sync engine via @Dependency, bootstrap patterns, or TCA integration
Testing Setting up test databases, seeding data, or writing assertions for SQLite code
Advanced - Queries Implementing triggers, custom database functions, or full-text search (FTS5)
Advanced - Optimization Performance tuning, indexes, custom aggregates, JSON aggregation, or self-joins
Schema Composition Using @Selection column groups, single-table inheritance, or database views

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.

sqlite-data is a skill published in the GitHub repository johnrogers/claude-swift-engineering (228 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 820 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
