What this skill tells the agent

Apple Documentation Router

Apple bundles for-LLM markdown documentation inside Xcode. These are authoritative, up-to-date guides and diagnostics written by Apple engineers. Read them directly with Claude Code's native `Read` tool — no MCP server or special tool required.

When to Use

  • You need the exact API signature or behavior from Apple
  • An Axiom skill references an Apple framework and you want the official source
  • A Swift compiler diagnostic needs explanation
  • The user asks about a specific Apple framework feature

Priority: Axiom skills provide opinionated guidance (decision trees, anti-patterns, pressure scenarios). Apple docs provide authoritative API details. Use both together.

How to Read These Docs

The session-start hook resolves Xcode's location and echoes the literal base directories into session context (look for "Apple for-LLM Documentation: Xcode detected at <path>"). Use the `Read` tool with <that base>/<filename>.

Default Xcode location (/Applications/Xcode.app) base directories:

ContentBase directory
AdditionalDocumentation guides/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/PlugIns/IDEIntelligenceChat.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AdditionalDocumentation/
Swift compiler diagnostics/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/share/doc/swift/diagnostics/

Example invocation Claude should produce:

Read /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/PlugIns/IDEIntelligenceChat.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AdditionalDocumentation/SwiftUI-Implementing-Liquid-Glass-Design.md

Xcode-beta users: the session-start hook respects AXIOM_XCODE_PATH and reports the resolved path in session context — use that path, not the default above.

Guide Files (AdditionalDocumentation)

20 files. Read with the path pattern {guides base}/{filename}.

If a diagnostic you need isn't listed above, list the diagnostics directory first:

ls $AXIOM_XCODE_PATH/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/share/doc/swift/diagnostics/

Filenames follow the diagnostic's short name (lowercase, hyphenated).
