Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: engineering-misc  ·  Last updated:
lang:swift
Implement Swift Codable models for JSON and property-list encoding and decoding with JSONDecoder, JSONEncoder, CodingKeys, and custom init(from:) or encode(to:). Use when parsing API responses, remapping keys, flattening nested JSON, handling date or data decoding strategies, decoding heterogeneous arrays, or integrating Codable with URLSession, SwiftData, or UserDefaults.

From the source SKILL.md

Encode and decode Swift types using Codable (Encodable & Decodable) with JSONEncoder, JSONDecoder, and related APIs. Targets Swift 6.3 / iOS 26+.

What this skill does

Swift Codable is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/swift-codable/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when parsing API responses, remapping keys, flattening nested JSON, handling date or data decoding strategies, decoding heterogeneous arrays, or integrating Codable with URLSession, SwiftData, or UserDefaults.

Who uses this skill

The Swift Codable skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It is part of the open ClaudSkills registry, a community-curated catalog of 56,000+ capabilities you can install for Claude Code — the Claude CLI agent.
