Install a Stream Swift skill and let your coding agent build a PencilKit chat app
amos_gyamfi · x · 2026-08-19
A developer demonstrates a workflow for building an iOS/SwiftUI chat app with animated handwritten messages using a coding agent: install the relevant CLI and Swift Skills (e.g. npx skills add getstream/agent-skills --skill stream-swift), then prompt the agent to build the Stream-based app — handwriting is handled entirely by PencilKit.
The stream-swift skill acts as a "docs orchestrator": instead of bundling SDK references, it guides the agent to classify requests and fetch official Stream docs live. Its core trick: every Stream docs page has a Markdown twin (append .md to the URL), giving agents clean Markdown with verbatim code. The skill has 401 installs.
