A reference skill for SwiftData. The agent searches four markdown files for answers on @Model, ModelContext, @Query and schema migrations.

## What it does

The skill is user-invocable and runs in a forked context: it spins up an Explore subagent and hands it the doc search. Answers come back in two parts — a short summary plus the file paths holding the details. For @Model that is `swiftdata-model.md`, for @Query it is `swiftdata-query.md`.

Four files ship with it. `swiftdata-index.md` covers the framework overview and the API list, `swiftdata-model.md` the @Model macro, `swiftdata-modelcontext.md` CRUD through ModelContext, and `swiftdata-query.md` the @Query property wrapper. There is no dedicated file for schema migrations even though the description mentions them, so those questions land on the general material.

Worth installing if you write Swift and keep tabbing over to Apple's docs. Nothing beyond the markdown files gets pulled in.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

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

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

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

## When to use it
- find how to declare a model with @Model
- recall the ModelContext methods for insert and delete
- work out how @Query filters and sorts a fetch
- get the file list with details on a specific API

## Example prompts
- show me how to declare a model with @Model and a one-to-many relation
- how do I insert and delete an object through ModelContext?
- what does @Query do and how do I give it a predicate

# SwiftData Documentation

Search these docs to answer questions about SwiftData APIs.

## Return Format

Always include:
1. **Summary** - Answer the question concisely
2. **File paths** - List relevant files for full details, e.g.:
   - `swiftdata-model.md` for @Model macro
   - `swiftdata-query.md` for @Query usage

## Files

- `swiftdata-index.md` - Framework overview and all available APIs
- `swiftdata-model.md` - @Model macro and model definition
- `swiftdata-modelcontext.md` - ModelContext for CRUD operations
- `swiftdata-query.md` - @Query property wrapper for fetching data
```
