SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the challenge of creating Swift interfaces that are ambiguous, difficult to read, or inconsistent with the language's established design philosophy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • API Review: Evaluate existing declarations and call sites for clarity, fluency, and adherence to Swift naming conventions.
  • Refactoring Guidance: Receive actionable advice on renaming APIs, adjusting argument labels, and improving documentation comments to ensure intent is explicit.
  • New Feature Design: Apply established patterns for factory methods, mutating/nonmutating pairs, and parameter defaults before finalizing your implementation.

Quick Start

Use the swift-api-design-guidelines-skill to review the current API surface of my networking module and suggest improvements for better call-site fluency.

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve Swift API design for better call-site clarity?

Improve Swift API design by analyzing existing declarations against established naming conventions and argument labeling rules to ensure intent is explicit. Refactoring guidance adjusts names and documentation comments to prioritize clarity at the point of use.

What are the best practices for Swift naming conventions when refactoring interfaces?

Best practices for Swift naming conventions involve applying established patterns for factory methods and mutating/nonmutating pairs to ensure consistency. This refactoring process evaluates call sites to make interfaces fluent and idiomatic.

How does argument labeling affect Swift API review and code fluency?

Argument labeling affects Swift API review by ensuring declarations prioritize clarity and maintain consistency across the codebase. Adjusting labels during code review makes call sites unambiguous and improves overall interface fluency.

Can I use Swift API design guidelines to create new idiomatic declarations?

Yes, you can use Swift API design guidelines to create new idiomatic declarations by applying established patterns for parameter defaults and factory methods. This ensures new feature designs are fluent and consistent before finalizing implementation.

When do I need to refactor Swift API surfaces for documentation standards?

Refactor Swift API surfaces for documentation standards when interfaces become ambiguous, difficult to read, or inconsistent with the language's design philosophy. Updating documentation comments ensures intent remains explicit across the codebase.

Does this approach to Swift API design work with existing codebase patterns?

Yes, this approach evaluates existing declarations and call sites to provide actionable refactoring advice tailored to your current codebase patterns. It ensures all API surfaces maintain consistency while prioritizing clarity at the point of use.
