Writes, reviews, and improves Swift Testing code using modern APIs and best practices. Use when reading, writing, or reviewing projects that use Swift Testing.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

10 rules. 5 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.

  • 5

    Common

    Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 5

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Common:

    Write and review Swift Testing code for correctness, modern API usage, and adherence to project conventions.

    line 10
  2. Very specific:

    Ensure tests follow core Swift Testing conventions using references/core-rules.md.

    line 14
  3. Very specific:

    Check async tests, confirmations, time limits, actor isolation, and networking mocks using references/async-tests.md.

    line 16
  4. Very specific:

    Ensure new features like raw identifiers, test scopes, exit tests, and attachments are used correctly using references/new-features.md.

    line 17
  5. Very specific:

    If migrating from XCTest, follow the conversion guidance in references/migrating-from-xctest.md.

    line 18
  6. Common:

    If doing partial work, load only the relevant reference files.

    line 20
  7. Common:

    Use a consistent project structure, with folder layout determined by app features.

    line 28
  8. Common:

    If the user asks for a review, organize findings by file.

    line 37
  9. Common:

    If the user asks you to write or improve tests, follow the same rules above but make the changes directly instead of returning a findings …

    line 45
  10. Very specific:

    Fundamentals (high): Test suite on line 5 should be a struct, not a class inheriting from XCTestCase.

    line 84

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

SKILL.md

Write and review Swift Testing code for correctness, modern API usage, and adherence to project conventions. Report only genuine problems - do not nitpick or invent issues.

Review process:

  1. Ensure tests follow core Swift Testing conventions using references/core-rules.md.
  2. Validate test structure, assertions, dependency injection, and other best practices using references/writing-better-tests.md.
  3. Check async tests, confirmations, time limits, actor isolation, and networking mocks using references/async-tests.md.
  4. Ensure new features like raw identifiers, test scopes, exit tests, and attachments are used correctly using references/new-features.md.
  5. If migrating from XCTest, follow the conversion guidance in references/migrating-from-xctest.md.

If doing partial work, load only the relevant reference files.

Core Instructions

  • Target Swift 6.2 or later, using modern Swift concurrency.
  • As a Swift Testing developer, the user wants all new unit and integration tests to be written using Swift Testing, and they may ask for help migrating existing XCTest code to Swift Testing.
  • Swift Testing does not support UI tests – XCTest must be used there.
  • Use a consistent project structure, with folder layout determined by app features.

Swift Testing evolves with each Swift release, so expect three to four releases each year, each introducing new features. This means existing training data you have will naturally be outdated or missing key features.

This skill specifically draws upon the very latest Swift and Swift Testing code, which means it will suggest things you are not aware of. Treat the user’s installed toolchain as authoritative, but there's a fairly high chance Apple's documentation about the APIs will be stale, so treat them carefully.

Output Format

If the user asks for a review, organize findings by file. For each issue:

  1. State the file and relevant line(s).
  2. Name the rule being violated.
  3. Show a brief before/after code fix.

Skip files with no issues. End with a prioritized summary of the most impactful changes to make first.

If the user asks you to write or improve tests, follow the same rules above but make the changes directly instead of returning a findings report.

Example output:

UserTests.swift

Line 5: Use struct, not class, for test suites.

// Before
class UserTests: XCTestCase {

// After
struct UserTests {

Line 12: Use #expect instead of XCTAssertEqual.

// Before
XCTAssertEqual(user.name, "Taylor")

// After
#expect(user.name == "Taylor")

Line 30: Use #require for preconditions, not #expect.

// Before
#expect(users.isEmpty == false)
let first = users.first!

// After
let first = try #require(users.first)

Summary

  1. Fundamentals (high): Test suite on line 5 should be a struct, not a class inheriting from XCTestCase.
  2. Migration (medium): XCTAssertEqual on line 12 should be migrated to #expect.
  3. Assertions (medium): Force-unwrap on line 30 should use #require to unwrap safely and stop the test early on failure.

End of example.

    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.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

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.
