SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Swift codebases often suffer data races and brittle concurrency patterns due to actor isolation, main-actor defaults, and Sendable misuse. This skill provides a structured approach to identify and remediate Swift Concurrency issues in Swift 6.2+ projects, delivering safe, minimal patches that preserve behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyze compiler diagnostics and the project's actor isolation context to surface data-race risks.
  • Apply minimal safe fixes: annotate types with @MainActor, update conformances to isolated/nonisolated as appropriate, and centralize mutable state on the main actor.
  • Provide guided migration steps and references for adopting approachable concurrency features.

Quick Start

Analyze the provided Swift source to identify actor isolation issues and output minimal patch diffs illustrating changes (e.g., add @MainActor, convert to isolated conformances, or mark nonisolated types for background work).

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix Swift concurrency data races and Sendable compiler errors in my project?

Fix Swift concurrency data races by analyzing compiler diagnostics and actor isolation context to apply minimal safe patches like @MainActor annotations, isolated conformances, and centralized mutable state. This eliminates data races while preserving original behavior.

What is actor isolation in Swift 6 and when do I need @MainActor defaults?

Actor isolation in Swift 6 restricts mutable state access to prevent data races. You need @MainActor defaults in UI-centric apps to ensure main-thread safety. The skill identifies isolation issues and annotates types to guarantee safe concurrent access.

How do I migrate my Swift codebase to strict concurrency with minimal safe patches?

Migrate to strict concurrency by analyzing source files to surface data-race risks, then applying minimal safe patches: annotate types with @MainActor, switch conformances to isolated or nonisolated, and use @concurrent for background work. The skill provides guided migration steps and references.

Does this Swift concurrency migration approach work for libraries and multi-module projects?

Yes, this Swift concurrency migration approach works for libraries and multi-module projects. It addresses actor isolation, Sendable safety, and safe offloading across modules and files, targeting both UI-centric apps and libraries with minimal, behavior-preserving patches.

What's the best way to handle Sendable misuse and unsafe concurrent state in Swift?

The best way to handle Sendable misuse and unsafe concurrent state is to analyze the project's actor isolation context and apply minimal safe fixes: mark types with @MainActor, update conformances to isolated or nonisolated, and centralize mutable state on the main actor.

Why does my Swift 6 code fail actor isolation checks across modules?

Swift 6 code fails actor isolation checks across modules due to unsafe mutable state access and Sendable violations. The skill identifies these cross-module data-race risks and remediates them by switching conformances and applying isolated or nonisolated annotations.
