swift_ask

>- Use this skill for expert Swift/iOS architectural guidance and best practices. It provides a senior mentor layer to validate patterns before implementation. Use when asking "how should I architect X", "what are tradeoffs of Y", "SwiftUI best practices", "Swift concurrency patterns", or any general Swift/iOS design question — even if they don't explicitly mention "Swift" or "iOS" but describe mobile app architecture concerns.

Swift Ask: Senior Swift Mentor

Run this tool BEFORE implementing complex patterns to validate your architectural approach against senior-level standards.

Tool Usage

Execute the swift_ask wrapper script from the skill's scripts/ folder:

scripts/swift_ask "<NATURAL_LANGUAGE_QUESTION>"

Constraints

  • API Key: Mandatory SWIFTZILLAAPIKEY environment variable.
  • Scope: Use ONLY for general Swift/iOS questions. For project-specific questions (local codebase analysis, file locations, dependency mapping), use swift_context instead.

Gotchas

  • The tool returns general Swift/iOS guidance — it has NO knowledge of your local codebase. Always cross-reference suggestions against your project's actual architecture.
  • If the question is about where something lives in your codebase or what depends on what, use swift_context instead — this skill cannot answer local code questions.
  • API key errors are fatal — check SWIFTZILLAAPIKEY is set before running.

Workflow

  1. Formulate your architectural question in natural language
  2. Run scripts/swift_ask "<question>"
  3. Review the guidance returned by the tool
  4. Use the guidance to inform your implementation approach
