Claude Code Apple Dev Plugin

A Claude Code plugin with 166 skills for Apple platform development — iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Covers everything from product ideation to App Store submission, with code generators, architecture patterns, framework guides, and workflow tools.

This plugin is heavily based on the skills fromclaude-code-apple-skills. I added a bunch around building CLIs, creating macros, using AVFoundation and other first-party libraries, etc. I also re-structured the skills according to Anthropic's Claude Code Plugins reference. And lastly, I made it into an easy-to-install plugin with an apple-dev:dev agent that's built to use these skills.

Installation

As a Plugin (recommended)

# Install from GitHub
claude plugin install github:AutisticAF/claude-code-apple-dev-plugin

# Skills are available as /apple-dev:skill-name in any project

Local Development

git clone https://github.com/AutisticAF/claude-code-apple-dev-plugin.git
claude --plugin-dir ./claude-code-apple-dev-plugin

With the Apple Dev Agent

The plugin includes an apple-dev:dev agent — an Opus-powered Apple platform expert that proactively uses the plugin's skills:

# Use as session agent
claude --agent apple-dev:dev

# Or with local plugin during development
claude --plugin-dir ./claude-code-apple-dev-plugin --agent apple-dev:dev
