Apple Docs Research
Overview
Use this skill to answer Apple platform coding and research questions by querying the Apple Developer Documentation and WWDC catalog via the apple-docs MCP tools. This skill replaces general web browsing for Apple-specific sources.
Workflow
- Clarify the target: Identify platform (iOS/macOS/etc.), framework, API, or WWDC topic. Ask a brief question if the scope is unclear.
- Select the right tool path:
- API or framework lookup: search_apple_docs → get_apple_doc_content for details. - Framework exploration: list_technologies → search_framework_symbols. - Availability / deployment targets: get_platform_compatibility. - Related APIs / alternatives: get_related_apis or find_similar_apis. - WWDC sessions: list_wwdc_videos or search_wwdc_content → get_wwdc_video. - Recent updates / release notes: get_documentation_updates.
- Synthesize: Summarize findings, include version/platform constraints, and provide code or guidance grounded in the retrieved docs.
- If no result: Say what was searched, broaden with adjacent frameworks or WWDC content, then report gaps clearly.
Output Expectations
- Always use apple-docs MCP tools as the authoritative source for Apple docs and WWDC content.
- Prefer official Apple documentation content and WWDC sessions over third‑party sources.
- When user asks for “latest” or “most recent,” use
get_documentation_updatesor current WWDC year filters rather than assumptions. *** End Patch} />]
