SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Swift Concurrency issues in Swift 6.2+ codebases are detected, triaged, and remediated to prevent data races and improper actor isolation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Triage and remediate actor isolation, Sendable safety, and main-actor annotations across Swift 6.2+ projects.
  • Migrate completion handlers to async/await and resolve data-race diagnostics with minimal behavioral changes.
  • Provide guided workflows and reference material for Swift concurrency changes.

Quick Start

Invoke the swift-concurrency-expert on a Swift 6.2+ project to triage, fix, and validate concurrency issues such as actor isolation, Sendable safety, and async/await migrations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix Swift concurrency data races and actor isolation issues in a Swift 6.2 codebase?

To fix Swift concurrency data races, triage actor isolation and Sendable safety violations, apply minimal isolation boundaries, and leverage main-actor defaults to resolve diagnostics while preserving existing runtime behavior.

What is the best way to migrate completion handlers to async/await in Swift?

Migrating completion handlers to async/await involves replacing callback signatures with async functions and updating call sites to use await, resolving any resulting data-race diagnostics with minimal behavioral changes to ensure thread safety.

How does Sendable safety work when triaging Swift concurrency issues?

Sendable safety works by verifying that types crossing actor boundaries are thread-safe, requiring you to annotate or isolate non-conforming types to prevent data races during async/await migrations in Swift 6.2+ projects.

Can I apply main-actor annotations to UI-heavy apps without changing runtime behavior?

Yes, you can apply main-actor annotations to UI-heavy apps by leveraging main-actor defaults and using minimal actor isolation, which secures data access against races without introducing significant behavioral changes to the UI thread.

Why does my Swift 6.2 project show data-race diagnostics after migrating to async/await?

Data-race diagnostics appear after async/await migration because shared mutable state crosses actor boundaries unsafely, requiring you to triage Sendable conformance and apply proper actor isolation to remediate the concurrency issues.
