About this skill
What does the alarmkit skill do?

Implement AlarmKit alarms and countdown timers for iOS and iPadOS with Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, StandBy, and paired Apple Watch system UI. Covers AlarmManager scheduling, AlarmAttributes and AlarmPresentation, system Stop and AlarmButton secondary actions, authorization, state observation, countdown widget-extension handoff, and Live Activity integration. Use when building wake-up alarms, countdown timers, or alarm-style alerts that need Apple's system alarm experience.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --skill alarmkit --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills, a repository with 963 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
