Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# TipKit Use TipKit for small, contextual feature-discovery moments: inline tips, popover tips, rule-gated education, and lightweight coach marks. Keep generic SwiftUI architecture, navigation, layout, and long first-run onboarding flows in their sibling skills unless TipKit presentation is the core issue. ## Contents - [Availability](#availability) - [Configure TipKit](#configure-tipkit) - [Design Good Tips](#design-good-tips) - [Define Tips](#define-tips) - [Present Tips](#present-tips) - [Rules and Events](#rules-and-events) - [Options and Invalidation](#options-and-invalidation) - [Actions and Styles](#actions-and-styles) - [Tip Groups](#tip-groups) - [Testing](#testing) - [Common Mistakes](#common-mistakes) - [Review Checklist](#review-checklist) - [References](#references) ## Availability TipKit's core `Tip`, `TipView`, `popoverTip`, rules, events, options, and testing overrides are available on iOS 17+, iPadOS 17+, macOS 14+, tvOS 17+, watchOS 10+, and visionOS 1+.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --skill tipkit --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.
