SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Swift Concurrency issues in Swift 6.2+ codebases are detected, triaged, and remediated to prevent data races and improper actor isolation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Triage and remediate actor isolation, Sendable safety, and main-actor annotations across Swift 6.2+ projects.
  • Migrate completion handlers to async/await and resolve data-race diagnostics with minimal behavioral changes.
  • Provide guided workflows and reference material for Swift concurrency changes.

Quick Start

Invoke the swift-concurrency-expert on a Swift 6.2+ project to triage, fix, and validate concurrency issues such as actor isolation, Sendable safety, and async/await migrations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix Swift concurrency data races and actor isolation issues in a Swift 6.2 codebase?▼

To fix Swift concurrency data races, triage actor isolation and Sendable safety violations, apply minimal isolation boundaries, and leverage main-actor defaults to resolve diagnostics while preserving existing runtime behavior.

What is the best way to migrate completion handlers to async/await in Swift?▼

Migrating completion handlers to async/await involves replacing callback signatures with async functions and updating call sites to use await, resolving any resulting data-race diagnostics with minimal behavioral changes to ensure thread safety.

How does Sendable safety work when triaging Swift concurrency issues?▼

Sendable safety works by verifying that types crossing actor boundaries are thread-safe, requiring you to annotate or isolate non-conforming types to prevent data races during async/await migrations in Swift 6.2+ projects.

Can I apply main-actor annotations to UI-heavy apps without changing runtime behavior?▼

Yes, you can apply main-actor annotations to UI-heavy apps by leveraging main-actor defaults and using minimal actor isolation, which secures data access against races without introducing significant behavioral changes to the UI thread.

Why does my Swift 6.2 project show data-race diagnostics after migrating to async/await?▼

Data-race diagnostics appear after async/await migration because shared mutable state crosses actor boundaries unsafely, requiring you to triage Sendable conformance and apply proper actor isolation to remediate the concurrency issues.
