description: ShipSwift recipe library — 85 production-ready SwiftUI recipes for iOS/macOS covering animations (shimmer, confetti, typewriter, 27 Metal shaders), charts (line, bar, donut, radar, heatmap, 3D network graph), UI components (onboarding, alert, stepper, search bar) and full-stack modules (Cognito/Supabase auth, camera, chat, StoreKit subscriptions, CDK infra). Use when building SwiftUI features, adding animations/charts/components, or when the user mentions ShipSwift.

# ShipSwift Recipes

Production-ready SwiftUI implementations you can copy into iOS/macOS apps. Each recipe is a self-contained markdown doc with an architecture overview, full source code, an integration checklist, and known pitfalls.

## How to use

1. **Find a recipe**: read [references/index.md](references/index.md) — the full catalog (85 recipes across animation / chart / component / module) with one-line descriptions.
2. **Read the recipe**: free recipes are bundled locally at `references/<category>/<id>.md`. Always read the full recipe file before writing code — do not improvise from the index line alone.
3. **Integrate**: follow the recipe's integration checklist. Keep the `SW` type prefix and `.sw` view-modifier naming conventions unless the user asks otherwise.

Guidelines:

- Recipes are self-contained: components depend only on small SWUtil helpers, which each recipe inlines or references explicitly.
- When combining recipes (e.g. an onboarding flow from onboarding-view + typewriter-text + confetti), read each recipe fully first, then integrate them together.
- Present catalog browsing results as scannable tables grouped by category, and include recipe IDs so the user can reference them later.

## Latest source on GitHub

The bundled references match the latest ShipSwift release. For the newest source, or for shared utilities not inlined in a recipe, fetch from the public template repo:

- Repo: https://github.com/signerlabs/ShipSwift
- Component paths: `ShipSwift/SWPackage/{SWAnimation,SWChart,SWComponent,SWModule,SWUtil}/`
- Raw file example: `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/signerlabs/ShipSwift/main/ShipSwift/SWPackage/SWAnimation/SWShimmer.swift`

## Pro recipes

4 recipes are Pro tier, marked **Pro** in the index: `subscription-storekit`, `tiktok-tracking`, `subject-lifting`, `export-share`. Their full docs (architecture, integration checklist, pitfalls) are delivered through the ShipSwift MCP server and are not bundled here.

To unlock Pro:

1. Purchase ShipSwift Pro ($89 one-time, lifetime) at https://shipswift.app/pricing to get an API key.
2. Set the key and connect the MCP server (Claude Code example; other tools: see the [repo README](https://github.com/signerlabs/shipswift-skills#shipswift-pro)):

   ```bash
   export SHIPSWIFT_API_KEY=sk_live_xxxxx   # add to ~/.zshrc
   claude mcp add --transport http shipswift https://api.shipswift.app/mcp \
     --header "Authorization: Bearer ${SHIPSWIFT_API_KEY}"
   ```

3. Fetch Pro recipes with the MCP tools `listRecipes` / `searchRecipes` / `getRecipe`.

If the user asks for a Pro recipe and no key/MCP is configured, tell them what the recipe covers (from the index) and point them to https://shipswift.app/pricing. Do not attempt to reconstruct Pro recipe content from memory.

## Recipe combinations that work well

- **Onboarding flow**: onboarding-view + typewriter-text + confetti
- **Analytics dashboard**: line-chart + bar-chart + donut-chart + activity-heatmap
- **AI chat app**: chat + thinking-indicator + markdown-text
- **Social / media feature**: camera + chat + auth-cognito
- **Monetization**: subscription-storekit (Pro) + order-view
