Build production-ready iOS features by combining ShipSwift recipes -- copy-paste-ready SwiftUI implementations covering animations, charts, UI components, and full-stack modules.
Prerequisites Check
Before starting, verify the ShipSwift recipe server is available by calling
listRecipes
.
If the tools are not available, guide the user to visit
shipswift.app
for setup instructions, or run
npx skills add signerlabs/shipswift-skills
to install.
Workflow
Analyze the request
Break down the user's feature request into discrete components (UI, data, navigation, backend integration).
Search for recipes
Use
searchRecipes
with relevant keywords to find matching ShipSwift recipes. Try multiple search terms if the first query returns few results.
Fetch full implementations
Use
getRecipe
for each relevant recipe to get the complete source code, architecture explanation, and integration checklist.
Present an integration plan
Before writing code, show the user:
Which recipes will be used
How they connect together
What customizations are needed for their specific use case
Generate code
Adapt the recipe patterns to the user's project structure. Combine multiple recipes when the feature spans several areas (e.g., a chart view with shimmer loading animation).
Provide integration checklist
List any required dependencies, Info.plist entries, or environment setup from the recipe documentation.
Guidelines
Always search recipes before writing code from scratch -- ShipSwift likely has a ready-made solution.
Combine multiple recipes when the feature spans several areas.
Use
SW
-prefixed naming conventions for ShipSwift components (e.g.,
SWShimmer
,
SWDonutChart
).
View modifier methods use
.sw
lowercase prefix (e.g.,
.swShimmer()
,
.swGlowScan()
).
Keep Views lightweight; extract complex logic into ViewModels.
Support Dark Mode and Dynamic Type by default.
Prefer SwiftUI-native APIs over UIKit wrappers.
Pro Recipes
Some recipes require a Pro license ($89 one-time). If a recipe returns a purchase prompt, the user can buy at
shipswift.app/pricing
and set
SHIPSWIFT_API_KEY
in their environment.
