skill.md

iOS Graphics Router

You MUST use this skill for ANY GPU rendering, graphics programming, 3D content display, or display performance work.

When to Use

Use this router when:

Porting OpenGL/OpenGL ES code to Metal
Porting DirectX code to Metal
Converting GLSL/HLSL shaders to Metal Shading Language

RealityKit (Non-Game 3D Content)

For 3D content in non-game SwiftUI apps, AR experiences, and spatial computing, use the RealityKit skills. For game-specific RealityKit patterns, use the ios-games router instead.

Architecture, ECS, and best practices → /skill axiom-realitykit

Entity-Component-System architecture
SwiftUI integration: RealityView, Model3D, attachments
AR on iOS: AnchorEntity types, SpatialTrackingSession
Materials, physics, interaction
Performance optimization

API reference → /skill axiom-realitykit-ref

Decision Tree

Translation layer vs native rewrite? → metal-migration
Porting / converting code to Metal? → metal-migration
API reference / shader conversion tables? → metal-migration-ref
MTKView / render pipeline setup? → metal-migration-ref
Something broken after porting (black screen, wrong colors)? → metal-migration-diag
Stuck at 60fps on ProMotion device? → display-performance
CADisplayLink / variable refresh rate? → display-performance
Frame rate not as expected? → display-performance
Display a 3D model in SwiftUI? → axiom-realitykit
Build an AR experience? → axiom-realitykit
RealityView or Model3D setup? → axiom-realitykit-ref
3D content not visible or not tracking? → axiom-realitykit-diag
Custom Metal rendering of RealityKit content? → axiom-realitykit-ref (RealityRenderer)
Building a 3D game? → Use ios-games router instead

Anti-Rationalization

Thought	Reality
"I'll just translate the shaders line by line"	GLSL→MSL has type, coordinate, and precision differences. metal-migration-ref has conversion tables.
"MetalANGLE will handle everything"	Translation layers have significant limitations for production. metal-migration evaluates the trade-offs.
"It's just a black screen, probably a simple bug"	Black screen has 6 distinct causes. metal-migration-diag diagnoses in 5 min vs 30+ min.
"My app runs at 60fps, that's fine"	ProMotion devices support 120Hz. display-performance configures the correct frame rate.
"I'll just use SceneKit for the 3D model"	SceneKit is soft-deprecated. RealityView and Model3D are the modern path. axiom-realitykit covers SwiftUI integration.
"I don't need ECS for one 3D model"	Model3D shows one model with zero ECS. RealityView scales to complex scenes. axiom-realitykit shows both paths.

Critical Patterns

metal-migration:

Translation layer (MetalANGLE) for quick demos
Native Metal rewrite for production
State management differences (GL stateful → Metal explicit)
Coordinate system gotchas (Y-flip, NDC differences)

metal-migration-ref:

Complete shader type mappings
API equivalent tables
MTKView vs CAMetalLayer decision
Render pipeline setup patterns

metal-migration-diag:

GPU Frame Capture workflow (2-5 min vs 30+ min guessing)
Shader debugger for variable inspection
Metal validation layer for API misuse
Performance regression diagnosis

display-performance:

MTKView defaults to 60fps (must set preferredFramesPerSecond = 120)
CADisplayLink preferredFrameRateRange for explicit rate control
System caps: Low Power Mode, Limit Frame Rate, Thermal, Adaptive Power (iOS 26)
8.33ms frame budget for 120Hz
UIScreen.maximumFramesPerSecond lies; CADisplayLink tells truth

axiom-realitykit (non-game 3D):

RealityView make/update closure pattern
Model3D for simple model display
AR anchoring with AnchorEntity
Material selection (SimpleMaterial, PBR, Occlusion)

axiom-realitykit-ref (API):

RealityRenderer for custom Metal rendering of RealityKit content
Complete material property reference
RealityView gesture integration

›Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.)
›Stakeholder contact information and communication channels

Time Estimate

30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements

Installation Steps

1.Install product management skill
2.Start with user story generation for known feature
3.Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
4.Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
5.Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
6.Build template library for recurring PM tasks
7.Share effective prompts with product team

Common Pitfalls

⚠Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing
⚠Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
⚠Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
⚠Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
⚠Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements

Best Practices▌

✓ Do

+Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
+Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
+Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
+Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
+Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
+Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition

✗ Don't

−Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
−Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
−Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
−Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
−Don't ignore company-specific context and culture

💡 Pro Tips

★Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
★Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
★Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
★Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs

When to Use This▌

✓ Use When

Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.

✗ Avoid When

Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

Learning Path▌

1Basic: user stories, feature specs, status updates
2Intermediate: competitive analysis, prioritization frameworks, PRDs
3Advanced: product strategy, go-to-market planning, OKR setting
4Expert: product vision, market positioning, business model innovation
