# swift-concurrency

A reference skill for Swift Concurrency: async/await, Task, TaskGroup, actors, AsyncSequence and continuation bridges. Useful when the agent writes async Swift code.

## What it does

The skill hands the agent a set of local `.md` pages on Swift Concurrency. It covers the topic overview plus separate files for `Task`, `TaskGroup`, the `Actor` protocol, `AsyncSequence`, `AsyncStream` and `CheckedContinuation` for bridging callback code.

It runs as a forked context with the `Explore` agent, so lookups happen away from the main conversation. The agent searches the skill's own files first. When a topic is missing there, it checks other installed Apple skills by name and `SKILL.md` frontmatter, then greps their files. That costs less context than pulling docs off the web.

Only if nothing local matches does it take a path from `concurrency-overview.md` and hit the `sosumi.ai` Markdown mirror — `/documentation/swift/task` becomes `https://sosumi.ai/documentation/swift/task`. That last step needs network access, so offline setups stop at the local files.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

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

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/swift-concurrency/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Prisma-Labs-Dev/apple-skills --skill swift-concurrency -a gemini-cli
```

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

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

## When to use it
- tell `TaskGroup` apart from spawning `Task` in a loop
- convert a delegate callback to `async/await` with `CheckedContinuation`
- get the `Actor` protocol signature and isolation rules right
- wire up `AsyncStream` for events arriving from outside the app
- recall how `AsyncSequence` iteration actually works

## Example prompts
- Show me how to fan out parallel requests with `TaskGroup` and await all results
- How do I bridge a delegate callback to `async/await` using `CheckedContinuation`?
- Walk me through how `AsyncStream` buffers events, using the skill files

## 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 `concurrency-overview.md` with the `sosumi.ai` Markdown mirror. For example, `/documentation/swift/task` maps to `https://sosumi.ai/documentation/swift/task`.
