Officially the fastest-growing* SwiftUI agent skill around! Folks have already been in touch to say it's identifying problems (and solutions!) in their projects, so give it a try if you're using Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, etc šŸ™Œ (* Yes, this is an xkcd 1102 reference.)

@twostraws A few things I'm noticing with Claude's skill and agent behavior:
Claude rarely calls skills on its own. The skill storage location also seems to have changed at some point. It used to be ~/.claude/skills/ and I don't think Claude follows the /agent pattern the way other agents do.
The biggest issue I keep correcting: when working with Apple Foundation Models, the AI generates a mock implementation instead of using the real APIs.
I think @mikedoise notices this as well.

@twostraws thanks for this! Useful for humans too! Do you have resources to dive deeper and understand the rationale behind some recommendations? For example on breaking up Views into files rather than var. I assume this is about performance
