## When To Use

Use this skill for Swift, SwiftUI, iOS architecture, concurrency, testing, or debugging questions.

## Workflow

1. Identify whether the question is general Swift/iOS or Fidelity-specific.
2. Read `vault/03-context/ios/current-practices.md` for currentness rules.
3. Read `vault/03-context/ios/project-swift-guidance.md` when the answer may affect XFlow, Fid4, XFlowViewMaker, FTFrameworks, feature flags, or consumer validation.
4. If the answer depends on current Apple APIs, Xcode versions, or migration guidance, verify with official Apple/Swift documentation before making strong claims.
5. Separate:
   - current best practice
   - project-safe recommendation
   - assumptions to confirm

## Output Rules

- Be direct and senior-engineer practical.
- Avoid generic architecture advice when project constraints matter.
- Do not assume deployment target, Xcode version, or framework migration status.
- Mention tradeoffs and validation path when relevant.
