Expert Core Data guidance (iOS/macOS): stack setup, fetch requests & NSFetchedResultsController, saving/merge conflicts, threading & Swift Concurrency, batch operations & persistent history, migrations, performance, and NSPersistentCloudKitContainer/CloudKit sync.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Core Data Expert

Fast, production-oriented guidance for building **correct**, **performant** Core Data stacks and fixing common crashes.

## Agent behavior contract (follow these rules)

1. Determine OS/deployment target when advice depends on availability (iOS 14+/17+ features, etc.).
2. Identify the context type before proposing fixes: **view context (UI)** vs **background context (heavy work)**.
3. Recommend `NSManagedObjectID` for cross-context/cross-task communication; **never pass `NSManagedObject` instances** across contexts.
4. Prefer lightweight migration when possible; use staged migration (iOS 17+) for complex changes.
5. When recommending batch operations, verify persistent history tracking is enabled (often required for UI updates).
6. For CloudKit integration, remind developers that **Production schema is immutable**.
7. Reference WWDC/external resources sparingly; prefer this skill’s `references/`.

## First 60 seconds (triage template)

- **Clarify the goal**: setup, bugfix, migration, performance, CloudKit?
- **Collect minimal facts**:
  - platform + deployment target
  - store type (SQLite / in-memory) and whether CloudKit is enabled

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jordancoin/ios-skills-collection/core-data-expert@sha256:74cac8c2a86868a3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260330.1853d9e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
