1. **Define Your Requirements**: Replace [PLATFORM], [SWIFT_VERSION], [TARGET_DEVICE], [OBJECTIVE], and [CODE_STYLE] in the prompt template with your specific needs. For example, target iOS 16 on iPhone SE (2nd gen) with a focus on performance. 2. **Run the Prompt**: Paste the customized prompt into your LLM (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) and execute it. Ensure the LLM is configured to use the Unofficial Swift Programming Language Skill. 3. **Review and Refine**: The LLM will generate Swift code. Review it for correctness, efficiency, and adherence to your requirements. Use Xcode’s built-in tools (e.g., SwiftLint, Instruments) to further optimize or debug. 4. **Integrate and Test**: Copy the generated code into your project. Test it on your target device(s) to ensure it meets performance and functionality goals. Use Xcode’s preview canvas to iterate quickly. 5. **Iterate**: If the output isn’t perfect, adjust the prompt with more specific details (e.g., "Use Combine for reactive programming" or "Optimize for battery life") and regenerate. For complex tasks, break the problem into smaller prompts (e.g., first generate the model, then the view). Tips: - For **debugging**, include error logs or crash reports in the prompt (e.g., "Debug this Swift code that crashes when [ACTION] happens"). - For **optimization**, specify metrics (e.g., "Reduce memory usage by 30%" or "Improve frame rate to 60 FPS"). - Use **Xcode’s Swift Playgrounds** to prototype and validate generated code before integrating it into your project.

Adapt the skill to your specific use case and workflow.
Act as an expert Swift developer. Write, optimize, or debug Swift code for [PLATFORM: iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS] targeting [SWIFT_VERSION] in [TARGET_DEVICE]. Focus on [OBJECTIVE: performance, readability, or specific feature]. Include comments explaining key decisions. Use [CODE_STYLE: functional, protocol-oriented, or MVVM] where applicable. Example: 'Write a SwiftUI view that displays a list of [DATA_TYPE] with lazy loading and smooth animations for iOS 17 on iPhone 15 Pro.'
Here’s a SwiftUI implementation for a `ProductListView` that displays a paginated list of products with lazy loading and smooth animations, optimized for iOS 17 on iPhone 15 Pro. The code uses a `LazyVStack` for performance, async/await for data fetching, and custom transitions for smooth animations. The `Product` model conforms to `Identifiable` and `Equatable` for SwiftUI compatibility.
```swift
import SwiftUI
struct Product: Identifiable, Equatable {
let id: UUID
let name: String
let price: Double
let imageURL: String
}
struct ProductListView: View {
@State private var products: [Product] = []
@State private var isLoading = false
@State private var page = 1
private let pageSize = 20
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
ScrollView {
LazyVStack(spacing: 16) {
ForEach(products) { product in
ProductRowView(product: product)
.transition(.opacity.combined(with: .scale))
}
if isLoading {
ProgressView()
.padding()
}
}
.padding()
}
.navigationTitle("Products")
.task {
await loadMoreProducts()
}
.refreshable {
page = 1
products = []
await loadMoreProducts()
}
}
}
private func loadMoreProducts() async {
guard !isLoading else { return }
isLoading = true
defer { isLoading = false }
do {
let newProducts = try await fetchProducts(page: page, pageSize: pageSize)
products.append(contentsOf: newProducts)
page += 1
} catch {
print("Failed to fetch products: \(error)")
}
}
private func fetchProducts(page: Int, pageSize: Int) async throws -> [Product] {
// Simulate API call
let mockProducts = (1...pageSize).map { index in
Product(
id: UUID(),
name: "Product \(page * pageSize + index)",
price: Double.random(in: 10...1000),
imageURL: "https://example.com/product\(index).jpg"
)
}
return Array(mockProducts.prefix(pageSize))
}
}
struct ProductRowView: View {
let product: Product
var body: some View {
HStack(spacing: 12) {
AsyncImage(url: URL(string: product.imageURL)) { image in
image.resizable()
.aspectRatio(contentMode: .fill)
} placeholder: {
Color.gray
}
.frame(width: 60, height: 60)
.clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8))
VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 4) {
Text(product.name)
.font(.headline)
Text("$ \(String(format: "%.2f", product.price))")
.font(.subheadline)
.foregroundStyle(.secondary)
}
Spacer()
Image(systemName: "chevron.right")
.foregroundStyle(.secondary)
}
.contentShape(Rectangle())
.onTapGesture {
// Handle product selection
}
}
}
#Preview {
ProductListView()
.preferredColorScheme(.light)
}
```
Key optimizations:
1. **Lazy Loading**: Uses `LazyVStack` to load only visible rows, reducing memory usage.
2. **Async/Await**: Fetches data asynchronously to avoid blocking the main thread.
3. **Smooth Animations**: Custom transitions for a polished user experience.
4. **Error Handling**: Gracefully handles API failures without crashing.
5. **Modularity**: Separates concerns with distinct views (`ProductRowView`) and logic (`fetchProducts`).Swift 6 concurrency patterns for AI agents
