# axiom-concurrency A skill for concurrency work in Apple-platform apps: actors, @MainActor, Sendable, data races, async/await patterns. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 1300 installs · ★ 1229 - Author: CharlesWiltgen - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/CharlesWiltgen/Axiom/tree/HEAD/axiom-codex/skills/axiom-concurrency/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-20 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/axiom-concurrency ## What it does The skill kicks in when you write async code, actors or threads in an Apple-platform app, or when a build throws a concurrency error. It covers Swift 6 concurrency, @MainActor, Sendable, data races and async/await patterns. It works as a router. By symptom or task it points to the right reference: `skills/swift-concurrency.md` for async/await, actors and Swift 6 migration; `skills/swift-concurrency-ref.md` for API syntax such as TaskGroup, AsyncStream and continuations; `skills/synchronization.md` for mutexes and atomics. A separate branch handles warning-free builds that crash at runtime with `_dispatch_assert_queue_fail` or `_swift_task_checkIsolatedSwift`, plus Core Data `context.perform` crashes inside a @MainActor class. There is a conflict-resolution section. If the app freezes, check concurrency first: blocking the main thread is a common cause. Swift 6 errors are a code problem, not an environment one, so axiom-build will not help there. Core Data and SwiftData split by case: `NSManagedObjectContext` thread confinement goes to axiom-data, while a `@MainActor ModelContext` stays here. On Codex the auditors are invoked as skills rather than Claude agents, and the ones that shell out to builds, tests or simulators need shell access. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-concurrency -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/axiom-concurrency/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/axiom-concurrency/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-concurrency -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/axiom-concurrency/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-concurrency -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/axiom-concurrency/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install CharlesWiltgen/Axiom axiom-concurrency ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/axiom-concurrency/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-concurrency -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --path axiom-codex/skills/axiom-concurrency ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/axiom-concurrency/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-concurrency -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/CharlesWiltgen/Axiom/tree/HEAD/axiom-codex/skills/axiom-concurrency/SKILL.md ## When to use it - debug a data race error in Swift 6 - migrate a DispatchQueue class to an actor - trace a `_dispatch_assert_queue_fail` crash - pick between a mutex and an actor - handle stale state after an await ## Example prompts - help me fix this Sendable error in my code - migrate this class from DispatchQueue to an actor - why does `_swift_task_checkIsolatedSwift` crash with a warning-free build ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.
