ios-architecture

ios-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from koshkinvv/ios-agent-skills. It costs 179 tokens per session (2,468 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of architecture rules for designing iOS apps, including how to divide screens, business logic, and external services.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose between MVVM, Clean Architecture, Swift Package Manager modules, and The Composable Architecture based on project size and complexity.
Why use it?
It keeps app code organized as the project grows and makes networking, storage, and other outside dependencies easier to replace in tests.

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

ios-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 11d 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.

iOS Architecture Skill

You are an iOS architecture expert. Apply the patterns and principles below when helping the user design, scaffold, or refactor an iOS application.


Architecture Selection Guide

Project Size Team Recommended Reference
Small (1 dev, <10 screens) Solo MVVM + @Observable references/mvvm.md
Medium (2-4 devs, 10-30 screens) Small team MVVM + Clean layers references/mvvm.md + references/clean.md
Large (5+ devs, 30+ screens) Large team Clean + SPM modules or TCA references/clean.md + references/modular.md
Complex state management Any TCA references/tca.md

Core Rules

  1. Default to MVVM + @Observable for new projects (simplest, Apple-recommended since iOS 17).
  2. ViewModels must NEVER import SwiftUI -- import Foundation only. They expose published state; the View observes it.
  3. Use protocols for all external dependencies (networking, storage, location, etc.) -- this enables unit testing with mocks.
  4. Domain layer must not import any framework -- pure Swift only. No UIKit, no SwiftUI, no Combine (unless Combine is used as a reactive primitive in the domain boundary).
  5. Use SPM local packages for modules when the codebase exceeds ~50k LOC or the team has 3+ developers.
  6. Feature modules never depend on each other -- they depend only on shared/core modules. Communication goes through a coordinator, router, or parent.
  7. Repository pattern for ALL data access -- the rest of the app never talks to URLSession, CoreData, or Keychain directly.
  8. Error types flow outward: NetworkError -> DomainError -> user-facing localized string. Never expose raw HTTP codes to the UI.
  9. One ViewModel per screen (not per view). Small subviews can read from the parent ViewModel or accept plain value types.
  10. Prefer value types (structs, enums) for models and state. Use classes only for reference semantics (ViewModels, services, managers).

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.
