Overview

# Swift Concurrency Agent Skill
Expert guidance for any AI coding tool that supports the [Agent Skills open format](https://agentskills.io/home) — safe concurrency, performance, and Swift 6+ migration.
Based on the comprehensive [Swift Concurrency Course](https://www.swiftconcurrencycourse.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=agent-skill&utm_campaign=swift-concurrency-skill), distilled into actionable, concise references for agents.
Who this is for
- Teams migrating to Swift 6 / strict concurrency who need safe defaults and quick triage.
- Developers debugging data races, isolation errors, or flaky async tests.
- Anyone wanting performance-minded concurrency patterns (actors, tasks, Sendable, async streams).
How to Use This Skill
Option A: Using skills.sh (recommended)
Install this skill with a single command:
```bash
npx skills add https://github.com/avdlee/swift-concurrency-agent-skill --skill swift-concurrency
```
For more information, visit the [skills.sh platform page](https://skills.sh/avdlee/swift-concurrency-agent-skill/swift-concurrency).
Then use the skill in your AI agent, for example:
> Use the swift concurrency skill and analyze the current project for Swift Concurrency improvements
Option B: Claude Code Plugin
#### Personal Usage
To install this Skill for your personal use in Claude Code:
- Add the marketplace:
```bash
/plugin marketplace add AvdLee/Swift-Concurrency-Agent-Skill
```
- Install the Skill:
```bash
/plugin install swift-concurrency@swift-concurrency-agent-skill
```
#### Project Configuration
To automatically provide this Skill to everyone working in a repository, configure the repository's .claude/settings.json:
```json
{
"enabledPlugins": {
"swift-concurrency@swift-concurrency-agent-skill": true
},
"extraKnownMarketplaces": {
"swift-concurrency-agent-skill": {
"source": {
"source": "github",
"repo": "AvdLee/Swift-Concurrency-Agent-Skill"
}
}
}
}
```
When team members open the project, Claude Code will prompt them to install the Skill.
Option C: Manual install
1) Clone this repository.
2) Install or symlink the swift-concurrency/ folder following your tool’s official skills installation docs (see links below).
3) Use your AI tool as usual and ask it to use the “swift-concurrency” skill for Swift Concurrency tasks.
#### Where to Save Skills
Follow your tool’s official documentation, here are a few popular ones:
- Codex: [Where to save skills](https://developers.openai.com/codex/skills/#where-to-save-skills)
- Claude: [Using Skills](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/overview#using-skills)
- Cursor: [Enabling Skills](https://cursor.com/docs/context/skills#enabling-skills)
How to verify:
Your agent should reference the triage/playbook in swift-concurrency/SKILL.md and jump into the relevant reference file for your error or task.
What This Skill Offers
This skill gives your AI coding tool comprehensive Swift Concurrency guidance. It can:
Guide Your Concurrency Decisions
- Choose the right tool for the job (async/await, actors, tasks, task groups)
- Understand when to use
@MainActor, custom actors, ornonisolated - Navigate isolation domains and prevent data races at compile time
- Apply
Sendableconformance correctly for value and reference types
Write Safe Concurrent Code
- Avoid common pitfalls like actor reentrancy and retain cycles
- Prevent data races with proper isolation
- Handle task cancellation and error propagation correctly
- Manage memory safely in concurrent contexts
Optimize Performance
- Choose between serialized, asynchr
