SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Converting a macOS SwiftUI application to native AppKit is complex and error‑prone; this Skill provides a systematic analysis and conversion plan to ensure a reliable migration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive codebase inventory: Detects SwiftUI files, architecture patterns, and third‑party dependencies.
  • Detailed conversion mapping: Generates file‑level actions, UI component replacements, and keyboard shortcut preservation.
  • Roadmap hand‑off: Hands the analysis to /plan-roadmap to create an implementation plan with phased verification.

Quick Start

Run /port-swiftui-to-appkit from the root of your macOS SwiftUI project to receive a full conversion analysis.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a SwiftUI to AppKit migration for a macOS app?▼

A SwiftUI to AppKit migration requires analyzing your codebase to generate a conversion roadmap. This involves detecting SwiftUI files, mapping UI components, preserving keyboard shortcuts, and validating architecture patterns for a reliable transition.

What is the process for converting macOS SwiftUI views to native AppKit components?▼

Converting macOS SwiftUI views to AppKit involves creating a file inventory and mapping UI component replacements. The process generates a detailed conversion plan handling architecture patterns and third-party dependencies to ensure a native build.

Can I analyze third-party dependencies when converting a SwiftUI codebase to AppKit?▼

Yes, analyzing third-party dependencies is possible when converting a SwiftUI codebase to AppKit. The analysis detects these dependencies and incorporates them into the conversion roadmap, ensuring compatibility checks are included in the migration plan.

Does migrating a macOS app from SwiftUI to AppKit preserve keyboard shortcuts?▼

Migrating a macOS app from SwiftUI to AppKit includes preserving keyboard shortcuts. The conversion analysis explicitly maps existing shortcuts so they remain functional in the final native AppKit implementation, maintaining user experience.

What's the best way to structure a phased SwiftUI to AppKit conversion roadmap?▼

The best way to structure a SwiftUI to AppKit conversion roadmap is to hand the initial codebase analysis to a roadmap planning tool. This creates a phased implementation plan with step-by-step verification for a production-ready migration.
