SkillAI & models

Guides your agent to write, review, and migrate Swift Testing code using modern patterns.

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the guide-swift-testing skill

About this skill

Swift Testing patterns, structs over classes, async confirmations, parameterized tests, exit tests, attachments, common agent mistakes. Use when writing, reviewing, or migrating Swift Testing code.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by prisma-labs-dev/apple-skills in skills/guide-swift-testing/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Swift Testing Patterns

Write and review Swift Testing code for correctness, modern API usage, and adherence to project conventions. Report only genuine problems — do not nitpick or invent issues.

Core Instructions

  • Target Swift 6.2 or later, using modern Swift concurrency.
  • Swift Testing does not support UI tests — XCTest must be used there.
  • Do not rewrite existing XCTest to Swift Testing unless requested.

Review Process

  1. Ensure tests follow core conventions using references/core-rules.md.
  2. Validate structure, assertions, dependency injection, and best practices using references/writing-better-tests.md.
  3. Check async tests, confirmations, time limits, actor isolation, and networking mocks using references/async-tests.md.
  4. Ensure new features like raw identifiers, exit tests, and attachments are used correctly using references/new-features.md.
  5. If migrating from XCTest, follow references/migrating-from-xctest.md.

If doing partial work, load only the relevant reference files.
