AI agent skills for mobile app development

Mobile skills carry platform conventions an agent will otherwise approximate from web habits: lifecycle, navigation patterns, what belongs on a background thread, and the store rules that reject a build. Specificity pays here — a SwiftUI skill that knows the current concurrency model is worth more than a general 'mobile' one. Check the platform version it assumes, since both platforms move annually and the advice ages with them.

What makes a good mobile app development skill?

Mobile skills carry platform conventions an agent will otherwise approximate from web habits: lifecycle, navigation patterns, what belongs on a background thread, and the store rules that reject a build. Specificity pays here — a SwiftUI skill that knows the current concurrency model is worth more than a general 'mobile' one. Check the platform version it assumes, since both platforms move annually and the advice ages with them.

Every skill listed here is a plain SKILL.md file in the format Anthropic documents for Agent Skills, read unchanged by Cursor, OpenAI Codex and 60+ agents. Each passes a safety review before it is publicly listed; the verdict and declared capabilities are on every skill's page.

Frequently asked questions

What is an agent skill for mobile app development?

Mobile skills carry platform conventions an agent will otherwise approximate from web habits: lifecycle, navigation patterns, what belongs on a background thread, and the store rules that reject a build. Specificity pays here — a SwiftUI skill that knows the current concurrency model is worth more than a general 'mobile' one. Check the platform version it assumes, since both platforms move annually and the advice ages with them.

Do mobile skills work with Expo and React Native?

Several target them directly, and cross-platform skills usually name which runtime they assume. Native iOS and Android skills are separate — the idioms diverge too much for one file to cover both well.

Which agents can use these mobile app development skills?

Any agent that reads SKILL.md files: Claude Code, Claude.ai, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Windsurf, OpenCode and 60+ others. The format is not vendor-specific, so the same file works everywhere — each agent just keeps its skills in a different directory, listed at /agents.

Are these mobile app development skills free?

Yes. Searching, reading and installing skills on SkillMD is free and needs no account. Individual skills carry their own licence, shown on each skill's page.
