# Apple Documentation Research

## When to Use This Skill

✅ **Use this skill when**:
- Researching Apple frameworks or APIs (WidgetKit, SwiftUI, etc.)
- Need full WWDC session transcripts with code samples
- Looking for Apple Developer documentation
- Want to extract code examples from WWDC presentations
- Building comprehensive skills based on Apple technologies

❌ **Do NOT use this skill for**:
- Third-party framework documentation
- General web research
- Questions already answered in existing skills
- Basic Swift language questions (use Swift documentation)

- Use **reviewing-reference-skills** to validate Apple documentation skills

## Core Philosophy

> Apple Developer video pages contain full verbatim transcripts with timestamps and complete code samples. Chrome's auto-capture feature makes this content instantly accessible without manual copying.

**Key insight**: Don't manually transcribe or copy code from WWDC videos. The transcripts are already on the page, fully timestamped and formatted.

## WWDC Session Transcripts via Chrome

### The Technique

Apple Developer video pages (`developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc20XX/XXXXX/`) contain complete transcripts that Chrome auto-captures.

#### Step-by-Step Process

1. **Navigate** using Chrome browser MCP tool:
   ```json
   {
     "action": "navigate",
     "payload": "https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/278/"
   }
   ```

   Tool name: `mcp__plugin_superpowers-chrome_chrome__use_browser`

   **Complete invocation**:
   ```
   Use the mcp__plugin_superpowers-chrome_chrome__use_browser tool with:
   - action: "navigate"
   - payload: "https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/278/"
   ```

2. **Locate** the auto-captured file:
   - Chrome saves to: `~/.../superpowers/browser/YYYY-MM-DD/session-TIMESTAMP/`
   - Session directory u
