Fetches Apple documentation as Markdown via Sosumi. Use for Apple API reference, Human Interface Guidelines, WWDC transcripts, and external Swift-DocC pages.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
11 rules. About 0 are common, 9 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈9
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 8
Use this skill to reliably fetch Apple docs as Markdown when coding agents need precise API details.
- Distinctive: line 12
Use Sosumi when the request involves any of the following:
- Very specific: line 22
If you already have a developer.apple.com URL, replace the host with sosumi.ai and keep the same path.
- Distinctive: line 23
If you do not know the exact page path, search first, then fetch the best match.
- Distinctive: line 24
Prefer specific symbol pages instead of broad top-level pages when answering implementation questions.
- Distinctive: line 28
If the Sosumi CLI is available, quickly verify local access before deeper debugging:
- Very specific: line 73
Use these when Sosumi is configured as an MCP server (https://sosumi.ai/mcp):
- Distinctive: line 84
Search first if the exact path is unknown.
- Distinctive: line 86
Keep source links in answers so users can verify details quickly.
- Distinctive: line 87
Use Sosumi paths directly in responses whenever referencing Apple documentation pages.
- Distinctive: line 94
Run a search query first, then fetch a specific result path.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Sosumi Skill
Use this skill to reliably fetch Apple docs as Markdown when coding agents need precise API details.
When to Use
Use Sosumi when the request involves any of the following:
- Apple platform APIs (
Swift,SwiftUI,UIKit,AppKit,Foundation, etc.) - API signatures, availability, parameter behavior, or return semantics
- Human Interface Guidelines questions
- WWDC session transcript lookup
- External Swift-DocC documentation (for example, GitHub Pages or Swift Package Index hosts)
Core Workflow
- If you already have a
developer.apple.comURL, replace the host withsosumi.aiand keep the same path. - If you do not know the exact page path, search first, then fetch the best match.
- Prefer specific symbol pages instead of broad top-level pages when answering implementation questions.
Optional CLI Preflight
If the Sosumi CLI is available, quickly verify local access before deeper debugging:
sosumi --versionconfirms the CLI is installed and onPATH.sosumi --helpshows top-level usage.sosumi <command> --helpis the manual for command-specific behavior.
HTTP Usage
Replace developer.apple.com with sosumi.ai:
- Original:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/array - AI-readable:
https://sosumi.ai/documentation/swift/array
Content Types
Apple API Reference
- Pattern:
https://sosumi.ai/documentation/{framework}/{symbol} - Examples:
https://sosumi.ai/documentation/swift/arrayhttps://sosumi.ai/documentation/swiftui/view
Human Interface Guidelines
- Pattern:
https://sosumi.ai/design/human-interface-guidelines/{topic} - Examples:
https://sosumi.ai/design/human-interface-guidelineshttps://sosumi.ai/design/human-interface-guidelines/foundations/color
Apple Video Transcripts
- Pattern:
https://sosumi.ai/videos/play/{collection}/{id} - Examples:
https://sosumi.ai/videos/play/wwdc2021/10133https://sosumi.ai/videos/play/meet-with-apple/208
External Swift-DocC
- Pattern:
https://sosumi.ai/external/{full-https-url} - Examples:
https://sosumi.ai/external/https://apple.github.io/swift-argument-parser/documentation/argumentparser/https://sosumi.ai/external/https://swiftpackageindex.com/pointfreeco/swift-composable-architecture/1.23.1/documentation/composablearchitecture
MCP Tools Quick Reference
Use these when Sosumi is configured as an MCP server (https://sosumi.ai/mcp):
| Tool | Parameters | Use |
searchAppleDocumentation | query: string | Search Apple documentation and return structured results |
fetchAppleDocumentation | path: string | Fetch Apple docs or HIG content by path as Markdown |
fetchAppleVideoTranscript | path: string | Fetch Apple video transcript by /videos/play/... path |
fetchExternalDocumentation | url: string | Fetch external Swift-DocC page by absolute HTTPS URL |
Best Practices
- Search first if the exact path is unknown.
- Fetch targeted symbol pages for coding questions.
- Keep source links in answers so users can verify details quickly.
- Use Sosumi paths directly in responses whenever referencing Apple documentation pages.
Troubleshooting
404 or sparse output
- The path may be incorrect or too broad.
- Run a search query first, then fetch a specific result path.
External page cannot be fetched
- The host may block access via
robots.txtorX-Robots-Tagdirectives. - Try another canonical page URL for the same symbol.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
