About this skill

iOS Data & Persistence Router

You MUST use this skill for ANY data persistence, database, axiom-storage, CloudKit, or serialization work.

When to Use

Use this router when working with:

  • Databases (SwiftData, Core Data, GRDB, SQLiteData)
  • Schema migrations
  • CloudKit sync
  • File storage (iCloud Drive, local storage)
  • Data serialization (Codable, JSON)
  • Storage strategy decisions
  • Keychain / secure credential storage
  • Encryption, signing, key management (CryptoKit)

Routing Logic

SwiftData

Working with SwiftData/skill axiom-swiftdata Schema migration/skill axiom-swiftdata-migration Migration issues/skill axiom-swiftdata-migration-diag Migrating from Realm/skill axiom-realm-migration-ref SwiftData vs SQLiteData/skill axiom-sqlitedata-migration

Keychain & Encryption

File Storage

Storage strategy/skill axiom-storage Storage issues/skill axiom-storage-diag Storage management/skill axiom-storage-management-ref File protection/skill axiom-file-protection-ref

tvOS Storage

tvOS data persistence/skill axiom-tvos (CRITICAL: no persistent local storage on tvOS) tvOS + CloudKit/skill axiom-sqlitedata (recommended: SyncEngine as persistent store)

Automated Scanning

Core Data audit → Launch core-data-auditor agent or /axiom:audit core-data (migration risks, thread-confinement, N+1 queries, production data loss) Codable audit → Launch codable-auditor agent or /axiom:audit codable (try? swallowing errors, JSONSerialization, date handling) iCloud audit → Launch icloud-auditor agent or /axiom:audit icloud (entitlement checks, file coordination, CloudKit anti-patterns) Storage audit → Launch storage-auditor agent or /axiom:audit storage (wrong file locations, missing backup exclusions, data loss risks)

Decision Tree

  1. SwiftData? → swiftdata, swiftdata-migration
  2. Core Data? → core-data, core-data-diag
  3. GRDB? → grdb
  4. SQLiteData? → sqlitedata, sqlitedata-ref
  5. ANY schema migration? → database-migration (ALWAYS — prevents data loss)
  6. Realm migration? → realm-migration-ref
  7. SwiftData vs SQLiteData? → sqlitedata-migration
  8. Cloud sync architecture? → cloud-sync
  9. CloudKit? → cloudkit-ref
  10. iCloud Drive? → icloud-drive-ref
  11. Cloud sync errors? → cloud-sync-diag
  12. Codable/JSON serialization? → codable
  13. File storage strategy? → storage, storage-diag, storage-management-ref
  14. File protection? → file-protection-ref
  15. Keychain / storing tokens, passwords, secrets securely? → keychain, keychain-diag, keychain-ref
  16. SecItem errors (errSecDuplicateItem, errSecItemNotFound, errSecInteractionNotAllowed)? → keychain-diag
  17. Encryption, signing, Secure Enclave, CryptoKit? → cryptokit, cryptokit-ref
  18. Quantum-secure cryptography, HPKE, ML-KEM? → cryptokit
  19. Want Core Data safety scan? → core-data-auditor (Agent)
  20. Want Codable anti-pattern scan? → codable-auditor (Agent)
  21. Want iCloud sync audit? → icloud-auditor (Agent)
  22. Want storage location audit? → storage-auditor (Agent)
  23. tvOS data persistence? → axiom-tvos (CRITICAL: no persistent local storage) + axiom-sqlitedata (CloudKit SyncEngine)

Anti-Rationalization

ThoughtReality
"Just adding a column, no migration needed"Schema changes without migration crash users. database-migration prevents data loss.
"I'll handle the migration manually"Manual migrations miss edge cases. database-migration covers rollback and testing.
"Simple query, I don't need the skill"Query patterns prevent N+1 and thread-safety issues. The skill has copy-paste solutions.
"CloudKit sync is straightforward"CloudKit has 15+ failure modes. cloud-sync-diag diagnoses them systematically.
"I know Codable well enough"Codable has silent data loss traps (try? swallows errors). codable skill prevents production bugs.
"I'll use local storage on tvOS"tvOS has NO persistent local storage. System deletes Caches at any time. axiom-tvos explains the iCloud-first pattern.
"UserDefaults is fine for this token"UserDefaults is unencrypted, backed up to iCloud, and visible to MDM profiles. One audit catches it. keychain stores tokens securely.
"I'll encrypt it myself with CommonCrypto"CryptoKit replaced CommonCrypto's buffer-management nightmares with one-line APIs. cryptokit prevents misuse.

Critical Pattern: Migrations

ALWAYS invoke /skill axiom-database-migration when adding/modifying database columns.

This prevents:

  • "FOREIGN KEY constraint failed" errors
  • "no such column" crashes
  • Data loss from unsafe migrations

Example Invocations
