What problem does it solve?
Writing and maintaining Swift concurrent code for Apple platforms under Swift 6 strict concurrency introduces common, high-severity pitfalls: data races, deadlocks, runtime isolation crashes, and painful migration work from older Swift versions. This Skill eliminates guesswork by providing production-tested rules, decision trees, and fix mappings distilled from real shipping app bugs, so you can write safe, performant concurrent code without trial and error.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Isolation Decision Trees: Step-by-step guides to choose the right isolation strategy (actors, @MainActor, Mutex) and concurrency structure (async let, TaskGroup, @concurrent) for any use case.
- Crash & Hang Pattern Library: Exact signatures and fixes for production issues like continuation misuse, cooperative-pool deadlocks, actor reentrancy corruption, and runtime isolation crashes on warning-free builds.
- Swift 6.2 Migration Guidance: Full walkthrough of Approachable Concurrency changes, silent runtime behavior shifts, and incremental migration paths from Swift 5.x through 6.0 to 6.2, including per-target SPM configuration.
- Code Quality Checklists: Pre-finalization checklists and anti-rationalization guides to ensure all output is data-race-free, deadlock-free, and compliant with Swift 6 strict concurrency rules.
- Use Case Example: A developer migrating an iOS app to Swift 6.2 can use this Skill to audit their codebase for Sendable errors, fix main-thread hangs from changed nonisolated async behavior, and configure CI with Thread Sanitizer and strict concurrency flags.
Quick Start
Use the swift-concurrency skill to audit your existing iOS project for Swift 6 strict concurrency violations and get a prioritized list of fixes for crashes, data races, and migration blockers.
