Build Feature with ShipSwift
Build production-ready iOS features by combining ShipSwift recipes -- copy-paste-ready SwiftUI implementations covering animations, charts, UI components, and full-stack modules.
Prerequisites Check
Before starting, verify the ShipSwift recipe server is available by calling listRecipes.
If the tools are not available, guide the user to visit shipswift.app for setup instructions, or run npx skills add signerlabs/shipswift-skills to install.
Workflow
-
Analyze the request: Break down the user's feature request into discrete components (UI, data, navigation, backend integration).
-
Search for recipes: Use
searchRecipeswith relevant keywords to find matching ShipSwift recipes. Try multiple search terms if the first query returns few results. -
Fetch full implementations: Use
getRecipefor each relevant recipe to get the complete source code, architecture explanation, and integration checklist. -
Present an integration plan: Before writing code, show the user:
- Which recipes will be used
- How they connect together
- What customizations are needed for their specific use case
-
Generate code: Adapt the recipe patterns to the user's project structure. Combine multiple recipes when the feature spans several areas (e.g., a chart view with shimmer loading animation).
-
Provide integration checklist: List any required dependencies, Info.plist entries, or environment setup from the recipe documentation.
Guidelines
- Always search recipes before writing code from scratch -- ShipSwift likely has a ready-made solution.
- Combine multiple recipes when the feature spans several areas.
- Use
SW-prefixed naming conventions for ShipSwift components (e.g.,SWShimmer,SWDonutChart). - View modifier methods use
.swlowercase prefix (e.g.,.swShimmer(),.swGlowScan()). - Keep Views lightweight; extract complex logic into ViewModels.
- Support Dark Mode and Dynamic Type by default.
- Prefer SwiftUI-native APIs over UIKit wrappers.
Pro Recipes
Some recipes require a Pro license ($89 one-time). If a recipe returns a purchase prompt, the user can buy at shipswift.app/pricing and set SHIPSWIFT_API_KEY in their environment.
How to use build-feature 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 development machine
- ›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with
node --version) - ›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add build-feature
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
The skills CLI fetches build-feature from GitHub repository signerlabs/shipswift-skills and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Reload or restart Cursor to activate build-feature. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /build-feature) or your agent's skill management interface.
Security & Verification 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 development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

Implementation Guide▌
Prerequisites
- ›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client with skill support
- ›Clear understanding of task or problem to solve
- ›Willingness to iterate and refine outputs
Time Estimate
15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity
Installation Steps
- 1.Install skill using provided installation command
- 2.Test with simple use case relevant to your work
- 3.Evaluate output quality and relevance
- 4.Iterate on prompts to improve results
- 5.Integrate into regular workflow if valuable
Common Pitfalls
- ⚠Expecting perfect results without iteration
- ⚠Not providing enough context in prompts
- ⚠Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
- ⚠Accepting outputs without review and validation
Best Practices▌
✓ Do
- +Start with clear, specific prompts
- +Provide relevant context and constraints
- +Review and refine all outputs before using
- +Iterate to improve output quality
- +Document successful prompt patterns
✗ Don't
- −Don't use without understanding skill limitations
- −Don't skip validation of outputs
- −Don't share sensitive information in prompts
- −Don't expect skill to replace human judgment
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Be specific about desired format and style
- ★Ask for multiple options to choose from
- ★Request explanations to understand reasoning
- ★Combine AI efficiency with human expertise
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.
Learning Path▌
- 1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
- 2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
- 3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
- 4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
