description	Crash-hunter skill for iOS 26 / Swift 6.2 clinic-architecture codebases that finds and fixes concurrency, memory, and I/O bugs using TDD. Covers data races, actor isolation, retain cycles, SwiftData context misuse, and sync-related failures in Domain/Data/App boundaries. Use when debugging crashes or hard-to-reproduce failures in ios-* and swift-* clinic modules.

iOS Chaos Monkey — Crash-Hunter Best Practices

Adversarial crash-hunting guide for iOS and Swift applications. Contains 47 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by crash severity. Every rule follows TDD: dangerous code first, a failing test that proves the bug, then the fix that makes the test pass.

Clinic Architecture Contract (iOS 26 / Swift 6.2)

All guidance in this skill assumes the clinic modular MVVM-C architecture:

• Feature modules import Domain + DesignSystem only (never Data, never sibling features)
• App target is the convergence point and owns DependencyContainer, concrete coordinators, and Route Shell wiring
• Domain stays pure Swift and defines models plus repository, *Coordinating, ErrorRouting, and AppError contracts
• Data owns SwiftData/network/sync/retry/background I/O and implements Domain protocols
• Read/write flow defaults to stale-while-revalidate reads and optimistic queued writes
• ViewModels call repository protocols directly (no default use-case/interactor layer)

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

• Hunting data races, deadlocks, and concurrency crashes in Swift
• Auditing memory management for retain cycles and use-after-free
• Reviewing async/await code for cancellation and continuation leaks
• Stress-testing file I/O and CoreData/SwiftData persistence layers
