Skill: Feature

Skill: Feature

Create a new feature module with the minimum viable structure: Tuist module, Feature entry point, Container, DeepLinkHandler, and one screen with placeholder Text. Integrates into the app.

Parameters

Gather from user before starting:

Derived: module name = Challenge{Feature}, event prefix = snake_case of Screen.

Conventions

• No @Observable on minimal ViewModels (no observable state). Only add when ViewModel has private(set) var.
• No any keyword on internal protocol types. Only on public protocols from other modules (e.g., any TrackerContract in Container).
• No imports in ViewModel when all types are internal to the module.
• Deep link paths are scoped per host — /​list under episode host is independent from /​list under character host.
• Deep links use path-based URLs — parameters are embedded in the path (e.g., challenge://character/​detail/​42), never as query items (?id=42). Use url.pathComponents for parsing.
• Tuist module uses \(appName) string interpolation for target names.
• Features always receive HTTPClientContract as their network dependency — never specific clients like GraphQLClientContract. The Container is responsible for creating specific clients (e.g., GraphQLClient) internally from the HTTPClientContract. This keeps features decoupled from transport details.
• Features that don't need networking only receive tracker: any TrackerContract.
• Features that need networking receive httpClient: any HTTPClientContract, tracker: any TrackerContract.

Workflow

Step 1: Tuist Module

Create Tuist/​ProjectDescriptionHelpers/​Modules/​{Feature}Module.swift:

import ProjectDescription

public let {feature}Module = Module.create(directory: "Features/​{Feature}")

Register the module in Modules.swift — Add {feature}Module to the Modules.all array. This single registration automatically includes the module's package in the root project and its test target in the Challenge.xctestplan.

Step 2: Source Files

Create all source files from sources.md.

Order: IncomingNavigation → DeepLinkHandler → NavigatorContract → Navigator → TrackerContract → Tracker → Event → ViewModelContract → ViewModel → View → Container → Feature.

Step 3: Test Files

Create all test files from tests.md.

Order: Mocks → Stubs → Unit tests.

Step 4: App Integration

Wire the feature into the app — 4 files to modify:

Tuist/​ProjectDescriptionHelpers/​Modules/​AppKitModule.swift — Add dependency:

{feature}Module.targetDependency,

AppKit/​Sources/​AppContainer.swift — Three changes:

1. Add import: import Challenge{Feature}
2. Add property: private let {feature}Feature: {Feature}Feature
3. Initialize in init:
   • Without networking: {feature}Feature = {Feature}Feature(tracker: self.tracker)
   • With networking: {feature}Feature = {Feature}Feature(httpClient: self.httpClient, tracker: self.tracker)
4. Add to features array

AppKit/​Tests/​Unit/​AppContainerTests.swift — No changes needed (features is private, tested indirectly).

Step 5: Verify

xcodebuild test \
  -workspace Challenge.xcworkspace \
  -scheme "Challenge (Dev)" \
  -testPlan Challenge \
  -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17 Pro,OS=latest'
