Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
8 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by peterbamuhigire on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Ios Development AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/peterbamuhigire/chwezi-dev-engine/tree/main/skills/ios/ios-development
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/peterbamuhigire/chwezi-dev-engine.git /tmp/chwezi-dev-engine
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/chwezi-dev-engine/skills/ios/ios-development .claude/skills/ios-development

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ios Development in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Ios Development on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Ios Development is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Platform Notes

Optional helper plugins may help in some environments, but they must not be treated as required for this skill.

iOS Development Standards

Acknowledgement: Shared by Peter Bamuhigire, techguypeter.com, +256 784 464178.

Use When

iOS development standards for AI agent implementation. Swift-first, SwiftUI, MVVM + Clean Architecture, async/await, comprehensive security, testing, and performance patterns. Use when building or reviewing iOS applications, generating Swift...

Evidence Produced

Category	Artifact	Format	Example
Correctness	iOS feature test plan	Markdown doc covering unit, UI, and snapshot tests	`docs/ios/feature-tests-checkout.md`
UX quality	Accessibility audit	Markdown doc covering VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and contrast	`docs/ios/a11y-checkout.md`

References

Use the references/ directory for deep detail after reading the core workflow below.
Load the retained iOS architecture workflow for module boundaries, dependency direction, state ownership, and provider seams.
references/ios-project-setup.md for Xcode project structure, SPM, schemes, build settings, and environment configuration.
references/ios-swift-recipes.md for production Swift recipes, safe conversions, dates, Codable, hashing, and validation.
references/apple-platform-compatibility-wwdc26.md for Xcode 27, Swift 6.4, iOS/iPadOS/macOS 27 SDK, Device Hub, coding agents, availability gates, and macOS/Safari watch items.

Load Order

Load world-class-engineering for shared production gates.
Load system-architecture-design when the app participates in broader service or module architecture.
Load this skill for iOS implementation details.
Load ios-ui-ux-design for every user-facing iOS/iPadOS screen, especially premium, dashboard, onboarding, reporting, form, or revenue-critical flows.
Load ios-security-and-rbac, ios-platform-capabilities, or other focused parent skills as needed.

Production-grade Apple-platform development standards for AI-assisted implementation. Swift-first with SwiftUI, latest-SDK aware, and availability-gated for older deployment targets.

Current Toolchain: Xcode 27 on Apple Silicon | Swift 6.4 | latest iOS/iPadOS/macOS SDKs Core Stack: Swift 6.4-ready | SwiftUI (default UI) | MVVM + Clean Architecture | Swift Concurrency Deployment Policy: project-specific floor; iOS 17+ remains acceptable only when the app must support that fleet Compatibility: Must run on both the declared minimum deployment target and the latest Apple OS, with availability gates for SDK-only features Reference App: Apple's sample code gallery and WWDC sessions — canonical examples of modern SwiftUI patterns

Backend Environments

iOS apps connect to a PHP/MySQL backend deployed across three environments:

Environment	Base URL Pattern	Database	Notes
Development	`http://{LAN_IP}:{port}/DMS_web/api/`	MySQL 8.4.7 (Windows WAMP)	Use host machine LAN IP
Staging	`https://staging.{domain}/api/`	MySQL 8.x (Ubuntu VPS)	For QA and TestFlight
Production	`https://{domain}/api/`	MySQL 8.x (Debian VPS)	App Store release

Configure base URLs using Xcode build configurations and .xcconfig files so each scheme targets the correct backend. All backends use utf8mb4_unicode_ci collation and MySQL 8.x.

Additional Guidance

Decision Rules

Condition	Choice
New interface on supported OS versions	SwiftUI
Legacy UIKit surface with stable behaviour	Wrap and migrate by feature, not by file
Concurrent mutable resource	Actor ownership or MainActor for UI state
Unsupported OS capability	Explicit availability branch and useful fallback

Degraded Mode

Without Xcode or devices, return code plus an execution matrix for compile, Swift Testing, UI, accessibility, Instruments, and oldest-supported-OS checks. Static review is not release evidence.

Domain Anti-Patterns

Launching unstructured tasks without ownership. Fix: bind work to a lifecycle or actor.
Force-unwrapping external data. Fix: validate and expose typed failure states.
Blocking the main actor with I/O. Fix: isolate work and measure UI responsiveness.
Hiding availability failures. Fix: render an explicit supported fallback.
Treating simulator success as device readiness. Fix: exercise the physical-device matrix.

Extended guidance for ios-development was moved to references/skill-deep-dive.md to keep this entrypoint compact and fast to load.

Use that deep dive for:

Swift Language Standards
Architecture: MVVM + Clean Architecture
Project Structure
State Management (iOS 17+ — No Legacy Patterns)
Networking Layer
Build Configuration (3 Environments)
WWDC26 Apple Platform Compatibility
Security Standards
Testing Strategy
Performance Rules
Release Gate
Navigation (iOS 17+)
Minimum Requirements
Additional deep-dive sections continue in the reference file.

For screen quality, visual polish, native interaction, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, iPad adaptation, and premium UX gates, load ios-ui-ux-design alongside this implementation skill.

Inputs

Artefact	Required?	Purpose
iOS requirements, supported OS/devices, architecture, UX, and service contracts	yes	Bound implementation

Outputs

Produce iOS code or design with lifecycle, accessibility, tests, performance, and release evidence.

Capability contract

Read/search and local builds follow task scope; signing, provisioning, TestFlight/App Store publication, and destructive data operations require explicit authority.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Ios Development AI skill do?

Why use Ios Development on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Ios Development is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Ios Development in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/peterbamuhigire/chwezi-dev-engine/tree/main/skills/ios/ios-development. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Ios Development?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Ios Development?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Ios Development with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Ios Development AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by peterbamuhigire under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
