How do I install the Uikit skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add caglarbaranbora/uikit in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Uikit safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Uikit?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Uikit free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Uikit

Route UIKit screen-scaffolding implementation tasks to the correct Knowledge Contracts — view controller lifecycle and composition, programmatic Auto Layout (constraints, stack views, safe area), navigation (UINavigationController, UITabBarController, modal presentation), and diffable table/collection views. Use when writing or reviewing UIKit screens, layout code, navigation flow, or list/grid UI. v1 is programmatic UI only (no Storyboard/XIB) and diffable data sources only (no classic cellForRowAt). Gestures, animation, custom transitions, and SwiftUI interop are out of scope here — see the uikit-interaction skill; accessibility API implementation — see the accessibility skill. Triggers on UIViewController, viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear, addChild, NSLayoutConstraint, layout anchors, UIStackView, safeAreaLayoutGuide, UINavigationController, UITabBarController, UITableViewDiffableDataSource, UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout, UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource, CellRegistration, prepareForReuse, present, dism

UIKit — Foundations Skill

Purpose

Route UIKit screen-scaffolding implementation tasks to the minimum required UIKit Knowledge Contracts. v1 scope is programmatic UI only (no Storyboard/XIB) and diffable data sources only (no classic cellForRowAt).

Routing

Load only the contracts relevant to the task. All paths relative to knowledge/uikit/.

Screen lifecycle & composition -> view-controller-lifecycle.md, view-controller-composition.md
Layout -> auto-layout-constraints.md, auto-layout-stack-views.md, safe-area-and-layout-guides.md
Navigation & presentation -> navigation-controller.md, tab-bar-controller.md, modal-presentation.md
Lists & grids -> table-view-diffable.md, collection-view-compositional-layout.md, collection-view-diffable.md, cell-configuration.md

Never load more than the contracts relevant to the specific question. For gestures, animation, custom or interactive transitions, and UIKit-SwiftUI interop, route to skill.uikit.interaction instead. For accessibility API tasks (accessibilityLabel, traits, VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, etc.), route to skill.accessibility.foundations instead. For SwiftUI view/state/navigation tasks, route to skill.swiftui.foundations instead. For design-level guidance (when to use a tab bar vs. a navigation stack, list vs. grid layout choice), route to skill.human-interface-guidelines.foundations instead.

Stop Conditions

Stop and report if the requested topic has no matching Knowledge Contract in knowledge/uikit/ — do not guess or fall back to general knowledge.

Storyboard/XIB and the IBOutlet/IBAction workflow — Excluded
UIScrollView paging, zooming, and refresh control — Excluded
