Agent Skills for iOS
Stop hunting for the right snippet. Scandit's Agent Skills bring 15 years of barcode, label, and ID scanning expertise directly into your coding agent: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, OpenCode, and 40+ others. Describe what you want to build and the skill writes the iOS integration into your codebase: SDK setup, license activation, UI wiring, performance defaults, and the edge cases to avoid. Skills stay in sync with every SDK release, so the generated code always targets current, validated APIs.
How it works
- Describe your use case in plain language inside your AI coding tool (e.g. "scan barcodes in a warehouse picking app on iOS"). The more detail, the better — the agent will ask follow-ups if anything is missing.
- The
data-capture-sdkproduct-picker skill recommends the right Scandit product and framework combination, grounded in real customer integrations. - The matching product-and-framework skill (e.g.
sparkscan-ios) takes over and writes the integration directly into your codebase. Review the result and ship.
Install the Scandit skills bundle
Installing the bundle gives your agent access to every Scandit skill, including the data-capture-sdk product picker. Your agent loads the right one automatically based on your prompt — or you can invoke a specific skill explicitly with /skill-name followed by your task.
Run this in a terminal in your project directory, then follow the instructions to select your coding agent.
