## What it does

The skill ships a reference for Apple's `import Testing` framework on iOS 26+. Seven markdown files sit inside: a framework index, how to declare test functions with `@Test`, grouping with `@Suite`, the `#expect` and `#require` macros plus confirmations, parameterized patterns, traits such as tags, conditions and time limits, and a migration guide from XCTest.

Lookup order matters. The agent greps this skill's local `.md` files first. Failing that, it checks your other installed Apple skills by name, description or `SKILL.md` frontmatter and greps those — cheaper on context than pulling docs over the network. Only when nothing local covers the page does it take the path from `testing-overview.md` and rewrite it against the `sosumi.ai` mirror, so `/documentation/testing/test` becomes `https://sosumi.ai/documentation/testing/test`.

The skill declares `context: fork` with the `Explore` agent, so it runs in its own context. Reach for it when you're writing Swift Testing cases or moving an XCTest suite over and would rather not have the agent guess at the API.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/swift-testing/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-testing
```

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

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

## When to use it
- write a test function with `@Test` without fumbling the signature
- group related tests under `@Suite`
- swap XCTAssert calls for `#expect` and `#require`
- turn copy-pasted cases into one parameterized test
- port an existing XCTest suite to Swift Testing

## Example prompts
- Show me how to declare a parameterized test with `@Test` and arguments
- Rewrite this XCTest case using `#expect`
- Which traits handle tags and time limits?

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