## What it does

This skill gives the agent a local MapKit for SwiftUI reference. Its files cover the map view, `Marker`, custom `Annotation`, `MapCameraPosition`, SwiftUI integration, and `MapFeature`. The package includes `mapkit-overview.md`, `map.md`, `marker.md`, `annotation.md`, `mapcameraposition.md`, `mapkit-for-swiftui.md`, and `mapfeature.md`.

The agent searches these local Markdown files first. If a page is missing, it checks other installed Apple skills before using the documentation path from `mapkit-overview.md` with the `sosumi.ai` Markdown mirror. The reference targets MapKit for SwiftUI on iOS 26+, so that version scope matters when reviewing generated examples.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/mapkit/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/mapkit/

### Codex

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

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/mapkit/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

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

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/mapkit/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Prisma-Labs-Dev/apple-skills mapkit
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

```bash
npx skills add Prisma-Labs-Dev/apple-skills --skill mapkit -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Prisma-Labs-Dev/apple-skills --path skills/mapkit
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/mapkit/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Prisma-Labs-Dev/apple-skills --skill mapkit -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/Prisma-Labs-Dev/apple-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/mapkit/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- look up a MapKit for SwiftUI API
- add a map to a SwiftUI screen
- configure markers and custom annotations
- control the map camera position
- inspect MapFeature usage

## Example prompts
- Use the `mapkit` skill to show a SwiftUI map with several `Marker` items.
- According to the `mapkit` reference, explain how to set `MapCameraPosition` for this map screen.
- Find the right API for a custom `Annotation` and `MapFeature` in this project.

## Fetching More Docs

1. Search this skill's local `.md` files first.
2. If the topic is not here, check the other installed Apple skills you have available by their names, descriptions, or `SKILL.md` frontmatter, then grep their local files. This is faster and uses less context than fetching new docs from the internet.
3. If no installed skill has the page, use the relevant documentation path from `mapkit-overview.md` with the `sosumi.ai` Markdown mirror. For example, `/documentation/mapkit/mkmapview` maps to `https://sosumi.ai/documentation/mapkit/mkmapview`.
