## What it 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.

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Prisma-Labs-Dev/apple-skills --skill photosui -a claude-code

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Prisma-Labs-Dev/apple-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/photosui/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- 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
- 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
