## SDK-Bundled API Skill

Video SDK iOS 2.5.10 includes `Sample-Libs/Docs/zm-videosdk-ios-api/SKILL.md` and paired `Sample-Libs/Docs/*-API.md` / `Sample-Libs/Docs/*-API.json` references.

- Use this repository skill for architecture, implementation workflow, scenarios, and troubleshooting.
- Resolve the bundled documentation root as `Sample-Libs/Docs`, not the archive root assumed by the unadapted bundled instructions.
- Use the bundled docs for exact Objective-C signatures, delegate completion, role checks, state machines, and object lifetime; use the packaged headers as final authority.
- For RTMS signaling, media sockets, protocol messages, and backend processing after the native helper starts the stream, chain to [zoom-rtms](../../rtms/SKILL.md).
- See [references/ios-reference-map.md](references/ios-reference-map.md) for high-value modules and sample locations.
