## What it does

Reach for this skill when a Swift app restricts a child's contact with other people and needs a way for the child to ask a parent for an exception. The agent gets the whole flow: `CommunicationLimits` reports whether a phone number or email is already known, `PermissionQuestion` carries the request, `AskCenter.shared.ask(_:in:)` starts the send, and the verdict arrives later via `responses(for:)`.

The skill ships a version table. Core types such as `CommunicationTopic` and `CommunicationLimits` start at iOS 26.0, `AskError` at 26.1, and `AskCenter`, `PermissionButton` plus significant-update topics at 26.2. It also covers attaching a name and avatar to the question and lists the available actions, `.message` and `.audioCall` among them.

Everything runs through iMessage. That rules it out as a general in-app consent, moderation or chat-safety layer. Entitlement keys should come from Apple's docs and Xcode capabilities rather than guesswork. When communication limits are off, `ask` throws `AskError.communicationLimitsNotEnabled`, so that branch needs handling.

## When to use it
- Explain to a child why a contact is blocked by a parental limit
- Build a request for one contact or several to send to a parent
- Find out which phone numbers and emails the system already recognises
- Attach a name and avatar so the parent knows who the request is about
- Handle the error thrown when communication limits are off

## Example prompts
- Check with `CommunicationLimits` whether `+1234567890` is known, and build a question if it isn't
- Add a SwiftUI screen with `PermissionButton` that sends a parent a request for `.audioCall`
- Catch `AskError.communicationLimitsNotEnabled` inside `requestPermission`
