How does this skill improve code quality?

It helps replace complex completion handlers and manual memory management with clean Swift Concurrency, reducing lines of code and preventing common race conditions.

Can it help with C-based socket code?

Absolutely. It provides direct mappings from BSD functions like socket(), bind(), and accept() to their modern, type-safe Swift equivalents.

Does this skill support the latest iOS features?

Yes, it includes specific migration paths for the iOS 26+ NetworkConnection API, utilizing async/await and modern Coder protocols.

What is the axiom-networking-migration skill?

It is a specialized guide for Claude Code that provides domain-specific knowledge to help developers migrate legacy networking code to modern Apple frameworks.

Why should I use NetworkConnection instead of URLSession StreamTask?

NetworkConnection is preferred when you need UDP support, custom protocols beyond TCP/TLS, or low-level control over packet pacing and service classes.

Mobile Development

Migrates legacy Apple networking code to modern, high-performance frameworks like NWConnection and Swift Concurrency-based NetworkConnection.

About

This skill provides specialized guidance and implementation patterns for upgrading network layers across the Apple ecosystem, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. It facilitates the transition from low-level BSD sockets or legacy URLSession StreamTasks to modern frameworks, with a specific focus on the latest async/await-powered NetworkConnection available in iOS 26+. By automating the mapping of complex socket operations to high-level Swift APIs, it helps developers eliminate boilerplate, prevent memory leaks, and leverage advanced features like Happy Eyeballs DNS and automatic task cancellation.
