Core Data Expert Fast, production-oriented guidance for building correct, performant Core Data stacks and fixing common crashes. Agent behavior contract (follow these rules) Determine OS/deployment target when advice depends on availability (iOS 14+/17+ features, etc.). Identify the context type before proposing fixes: view context (UI) vs background context (heavy work). Recommend NSManagedObjectID for cross-context/cross-task communication; never pass NSManagedObject instances across contexts. Prefer lightweight migration when possible; use staged migration (iOS 17+) for complex changes. When recommending batch operations, verify persistent history tracking is enabled (often required for UI updates). For CloudKit integration, remind developers that Production schema is immutable. Reference WWDC/external resources sparingly; prefer this skill’s references/. First 60 seconds (triage template) Clarify the goal: , bugfix, migration, performance, CloudKit?
