In plain English

ShipSwift is a library of ready-made user interface building blocks for Swift-based iOS apps. Rather than writing common components like charts, animations, loading spinners, or sign-in flows from scratch, you pick the ones you need and drop them into your Xcode project. What sets ShipSwift apart is that it is designed to be used by AI coding assistants. It connects via MCP (Model Context Protocol, a standard way for AI tools to fetch external data and code) so an AI assistant such as Claude Code can retrieve component code and full-stack recipes on demand. When you ask your AI to "add a shimmer loading animation" or "build an authentication flow," it pulls a ready-made ShipSwift recipe rather than generating code from memory. The library is organized into four groups. SWAnimation covers visual effects like typewriter text, shaking icons, and gradient sweeps. SWChart provides chart types including line, bar, donut, radar, and activity heatmap. SWComponent includes display, feedback, and input controls such as search bars, alerts, onboarding screens, and video players. SWModule packages multi-file frameworks for user authentication, camera with face detection, subscription paywalls using StoreKit 2, chat with optional voice input, and settings pages. Recipes come in free and pro tiers. Free recipes include source code and usage steps, pro recipes add backend guides, compliance templates, and pitfall documentation. Three runnable open-source showcase apps are included as reference architectures. Components require Swift 5.0 or later and iOS 18.0 or later. The full README is longer than what was provided.
