Installation Guide
How to use axiom-ios-vision on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your machine
- ›Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with
node --version - ›Active project directory where you want to add
axiom-ios-vision
Run the install command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches axiom-ios-vision from charleswiltgen/axiom and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate axiom-ios-vision. Access via /axiom-ios-vision in your agent's command palette.
Security Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

iOS Computer Vision Router
You MUST use this skill for ANY computer vision work using the Vision framework.
When to Use
Use this router when:
- Analyzing images or video
- Detecting objects, faces, or people
- Tracking hand or body pose
- Segmenting people or subjects
- Lifting subjects from backgrounds
- Recognizing text in images (OCR)
- Detecting barcodes or QR codes
- Scanning documents
- Using VisionKit or DataScannerViewController
- Integrating with Visual Intelligence (iOS 26+ system camera feature)
Routing Logic
Vision Work
Implementation patterns → /skill axiom-vision
- Subject segmentation (VisionKit)
- Hand pose detection (21 landmarks)
- Body pose detection (2D/3D)
- Person segmentation
- Face detection
- Isolating objects while excluding hands
- Text recognition (VNRecognizeTextRequest)
- Barcode/QR detection (VNDetectBarcodesRequest)
- Document scanning (VNDocumentCameraViewController)
- Live scanning (DataScannerViewController)
- Structured document extraction (RecognizeDocumentsRequest, iOS 26+)
API reference → /skill axiom-vision-ref
- Complete Vision framework API
- VNDetectHumanHandPoseRequest
- VNDetectHumanBodyPoseRequest
- VNGenerateForegroundInstanceMaskRequest
- VNRecognizeTextRequest (fast/accurate modes)
- VNDetectBarcodesRequest (symbologies)
- DataScannerViewController delegates
- RecognizeDocumentsRequest (iOS 26+)
- Coordinate conversion patterns
Visual Intelligence integration → /skill axiom-vision-ref (see Visual Intelligence Integration section)
- Making app content discoverable to Visual Intelligence camera
IntentValueQueryandSemanticContentDescriptor- Deep linking from Visual Intelligence results
Diagnostics → /skill axiom-vision-diag
- Subject not detected
- Hand pose missing landmarks
- Low confidence observations
- Performance issues
- Coordinate conversion bugs
- Text not recognized or wrong characters
- Barcodes not detected
- DataScanner showing blank or no items
- Document edges not detected
Decision Tree
- Implementing (pose, segmentation, OCR, barcodes, documents, live scanning)? → vision
- Visual Intelligence system integration (camera feature, iOS 26+)? → vision-ref (Visual Intelligence section)
- Need API reference / code examples? → vision-ref
- Debugging issues (detection failures, confidence, coordinates)? → vision-diag
Anti-Rationalization
| Thought | Reality |
|---|---|
| "Vision framework is just a request/handler pattern" | Vision has coordinate conversion, confidence thresholds, and performance gotchas. vision covers them. |
| "I'll handle text recognition without the skill" | VNRecognizeTextRequest has fast/accurate modes and language-specific settings. vision has the patterns. |
| "Subject segmentation is straightforward" | Instance masks have HDR compositing and hand-exclusion patterns. vision covers complex scenarios. |
| "Visual Intelligence is just the camera API" | Visual Intelligence is a system-level feature requiring IntentValueQuery and SemanticContentDescriptor. vision-ref has the integration section. |
Critical Patterns
vision:
- Subject segmentation with VisionKit
- Hand pose detection (21 landmarks)
- Body pose detection (2D/3D, up to 4 people)
- Isolating objects while excluding hands
- CoreImage HDR compositing
- Text recognition (fast vs accurate modes)
- Barcode detection (symbology selection)
- Document scanning with perspective correction
- Live scanning with DataScannerViewController
- Structured document extraction (iOS 26+)
vision-diag:
- Subject detection failures
- Landmark tracking issues
- Performance optimization
- Observation confidence thresholds
- Text recognition failures (language, contrast)
- Barcode detection issues (symbology, distance)
- DataScanner troubleshooting
- Document edge detection problems

Use Cases
User Story & Requirements Generation
Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example
Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Competitive Analysis
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example
Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Roadmap Prioritization
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example
Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Stakeholder Communication
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example
Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead
Implementation Guide
Prerequisites
- ›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client
- ›Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.)
- ›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
Steps
- 1Install product management skill
- 2Start with user story generation for known feature
- 3Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
- 4Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
- 5Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
- 6Build template library for recurring PM tasks
- 7Share 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
