# How to install and use AI agent skills in Xcode

**[Hacking with Swift](https://daily.dev/sources/hackingwithswift)** · 14 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A practical guide to installing and using AI agent skills in Xcode, Claude Code, and Codex for Swift/SwiftUI development. Agent skills are Markdown-based instruction files that teach AI coding tools things they don't already know, such as deprecated APIs, new iOS 26 APIs, and common mistakes. The guide covers installation via terminal commands, manual setup for Claude inside Xcode, the difference between agent skills and AGENTS.md files, how to evaluate skill quality, and a curated GitHub repository of Swift-specific agent skills.
