SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Setting up SwiftLint for macOS projects requires platform-specific configuration for AppKit patterns, Objective-C interop, and integration with Xcode, SPM, and CI pipelines, which is time-consuming and error-prone for teams without established linting workflows. This Skill eliminates that manual effort with pre-vetted, macOS-aligned configurations and integration guides.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • macOS-Specific Lint Rules: Pre-configured rules for AppKit naming conventions, NSObject anti-patterns, NSLog replacement, and IBOutlet safety tailored to macOS development.
  • Build System Integration: Step-by-step guides for integrating SwiftLint via SPM build tool plugins, Xcode run script build phases, and Bazel for macOS 26+ projects.
  • CI Pipeline Templates: Ready-to-use GitHub Actions workflows for linting and swiftlint analyze with xcodebuild, including strict mode enforcement and baseline management for existing codebases.
  • Use Case: A macOS app team can use this Skill to enforce consistent code quality, catch AppKit-specific bugs early, and block PRs with lint violations in CI within minutes.

Quick Start

Use the swiftlint-macos skill to generate a production-ready SwiftLint configuration with macOS-specific rules and CI integration for your macOS app project.

Frequently Asked Questions about swiftlint-macos

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure SwiftLint for macOS AppKit projects?▼

Configure SwiftLint for macOS by applying pre-vetted rules for AppKit naming conventions, NSObject anti-patterns, and IBOutlet safety. This eliminates manual configuration overhead and enforces platform-aligned coding standards for Apple desktop applications.

How do I integrate SwiftLint into an Xcode or SPM build pipeline?▼

Integrate SwiftLint into Xcode or SPM using step-by-step guides for SPM build tool plugins and Xcode run script build phases. This automates linting in build and release processes for macOS 26+ development workflows.

What's the best way to run SwiftLint in CI with xcodebuild?▼

Run SwiftLint in CI using ready-to-use GitHub Actions workflows that execute swiftlint analyze with xcodebuild. This setup includes strict mode enforcement and baseline management to block PRs with lint violations.

Does SwiftLint support custom anti-pattern detection for macOS development?▼

SwiftLint supports custom anti-pattern detection for macOS through pre-configured rules targeting NSLog replacement and NSObject safety. This catches AppKit-specific bugs early and enforces consistent Swift code quality.

How do I manage SwiftLint baselines for an existing macOS codebase?▼

Manage SwiftLint baselines for existing macOS codebases using the included baseline management workflows. This allows teams to adopt SwiftLint gradually without needing to resolve every historical violation simultaneously.

Can I use SwiftLint with Bazel for macOS 26+ projects?▼

SwiftLint integrates with Bazel for macOS 26+ projects through the provided build system integration guides. This supports flexible automation of Swift code quality checks across different build environments.
