/plugin marketplace add mtfum/openai-build-ios-skills

# 2. Install the plugin
/plugin install build-ios-apps@openai-build-ios-skills

Or from the CLI:

claude plugin marketplace add mtfum/openai-build-ios-skills
claude plugin install build-ios-apps@openai-build-ios-skills

For local development:

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/openai-build-ios-skills

Skills

Skill	Description
ios-debugger-agent	Build, run, and debug iOS apps on a booted simulator via XcodeBuildMCP
ios-app-intents	Design and implement App Intents, AppEntity, AppEnum, and App Shortcuts
ios-ettrace-performance	Capture symbolicated ETTrace performance profiles from iOS simulator apps
ios-memgraph-leaks	Capture, inspect, and root-cause iOS memory leaks using memgraphs
swiftui-liquid-glass	Implement or review iOS 26+ Liquid Glass APIs
swiftui-performance-audit	Code-first and profiling-guided audit of SwiftUI runtime performance
swiftui-ui-patterns	Best practices and patterns for building SwiftUI views and components
swiftui-view-refactor	Refactor large SwiftUI views with opinionated MV-first defaults

What It Covers

• Designing App Intents, app entities, and App Shortcuts for system surfaces
• Building and refactoring SwiftUI UI using current platform patterns
• Reviewing or adopting iOS 26+ Liquid Glass APIs
• Auditing SwiftUI performance and guiding profiling workflows
• Capturing symbolicated ETTrace simulator profiles for focused app flows
• Capturing and comparing iOS memgraphs to root-cause leaks
• Debugging iOS apps on simulators with XcodeBuildMCP-backed flows
• Restructuring large SwiftUI views toward smaller, more stable compositions

Prerequisites

• XcodeBuildMCP: Used by ios-debugger-agent. Configured automatically via .mcp.json
• ETTrace: Used by ios-ettrace-performance. Install with brew install emergetools/homebrew-tap/ettrace
• Apple leaks tool: Used by ios-memgraph-leaks. Included with Xcode
