Does this skill help with memory management?

Yes, it provides specific patterns for handling memory management, such as the correct use of [weak self] in closures to avoid retain cycles.

What is the 'Golden Path' mentioned in the skill?

The Golden Path is a coding style that uses guards and early returns to keep the successful execution logic left-aligned and easy to follow, avoiding deep nesting.

What is the primary focus of the swift-style skill?

It focuses on code readability and consistency, prioritizing clarity over brevity to ensure Swift code is maintainable and follows Apple's idiomatic patterns.

Is this skill suitable for server-side Swift?

Absolutely. While highly relevant for mobile development, these style conventions and core Swift principles apply to any Swift project, including Vapor or Hummingbird applications.
