# Apple Documentation Router

Apple bundles for-LLM markdown documentation inside Xcode. These are authoritative, up-to-date guides and diagnostics written by Apple engineers. Use them alongside iOS Skill Pack skills for the most accurate information.

## When to Use

Use Apple's bundled docs when:
- You need the exact API signature or behavior from Apple
- iOS Skill Pack skills reference an Apple framework and you want the official source
- A Swift compiler diagnostic needs explanation
- The user asks about a specific Apple framework feature

**Priority**: iOS Skill Pack skills provide opinionated guidance (decision trees, anti-patterns, pressure scenarios). Apple docs provide authoritative API details. Use both together.

## Guide Topics (AdditionalDocumentation)

Read these with the MCP skill-reading tool using the skill name.
