photosui — Claude Code skill: PhotosUI API reference
A skill that gives your agent a PhotosUI reference, so questions about photo selection and Live Photo get answered from docs.
npx skills add Prisma-Labs-Dev/apple-skills --skill photosui -a claude-codeWhat photosui does
The skill searches two documentation files: photosui-index.md for the framework overview and Live Photo views, photospicker.md for the SwiftUI PhotosPicker. Every answer follows the same shape: a short summary first, then the file paths where the details live.
It runs with context: fork under the Explore subagent. Your question goes into a separate context instead of filling up the main session.
The skill is user-invocable, which is set in its frontmatter. Worth installing if you build for Apple and keep watching the agent guess at photo picker APIs.
What it helps with
- find the right SwiftUI API for picking photos
- understand how PHLivePhotoView works
- get file paths with full PhotosUI details
- keep framework overview separate from PhotosPicker docs
- ask a PhotosUI question without bloating the main context
Example prompts for the agent
- How do I show a photo picker in SwiftUI with PhotosUI?
- What does PHLivePhotoView do and how do I wire it up?
- Search the PhotosUI docs for photo selection
