Networking
You MUST use this skill for ANY networking work including HTTP requests, WebSockets, TCP connections, or network debugging.
Cursor Subagent Routing
Delegate to the appropriate Cursor subagent when this router calls for a specialized auditor.

Pressure Resistance
When user has invested significant time in custom implementation:
Do NOT capitulate to sunk cost pressure. The correct approach is:
- Diagnose first — Understand what's actually failing before recommending changes
- Recommend correctly — If standard APIs (URLSession, Network.framework) would solve the problem, say so professionally
- Respect but don't enable — Acknowledge their work while providing honest technical guidance
Critical Patterns
Networking (skills/networking-discipline.md):
- URLSession with structured concurrency
- 8 red-flag anti-patterns (SCNetworkReachability, blocking sockets, hardcoded IPs)
- Decision tree for choosing TCP/UDP/TLS patterns
- NetworkConnection patterns (iOS 26+): TLS, UDP, TLV framing, Coder protocol
- 3 pressure scenarios with professional push-back templates
- Pre-shipping checklist
Network Framework Reference (skills/network-framework-ref.md):
- NetworkConnection (iOS 26+): all 12 WWDC 2025 examples
- NWConnection (iOS 12-18): complete API with examples
- TLV framing, Coder protocol, NetworkListener, NetworkBrowser
- Mobility: viability, better path, Multipath TCP, NWPathMonitor
- Security: TLS, certificate pinning, cipher suites
- Performance: user-space networking, ECN, service class, TCP Fast Open
Diagnostics (skills/networking-diag.md):
- Systematic decision tree for all connection failure types
- DNS failures, TLS certificate validation, message framing
- TCP congestion, IPv6-only cellular, VPN interference, ATS
- Production crisis scenario with professional communication templates
Legacy (skills/networking-legacy.md):
- NWConnection with TLS (completion handlers)
- UDP batch (30% CPU reduction)
- NWListener, NWBrowser (Bonjour discovery)
Automated Scanning
Networking audit → Delegate to the networking-auditor subagent or /axiom-audit networking (deprecated APIs, anti-patterns, and completeness gaps — transition handling, TLS coverage, connection cleanup, framework selection)
Anti-Rationalization
| Thought | Reality |
|---|---|
| "URLSession is simple, I don't need a skill" | URLSession with structured concurrency has async/cancellation patterns. skills/networking-discipline.md covers them. |
| "I'll debug the connection timeout myself" | Connection failures have 8 causes (DNS, TLS, proxy, cellular). skills/networking-diag.md diagnoses systematically. |
| "I just need a basic HTTP request" | Even basic requests need error handling, retry, and cancellation patterns. |
| "My custom networking layer works fine" | Custom layers miss cellular/proxy edge cases. Standard APIs handle them automatically. |
Example Invocations
User: "My API request is failing with a timeout"
→ Read: skills/networking-diag.md
User: "How do I use URLSession with async/await?"
→ Read: skills/networking-discipline.md
User: "I need to implement a TCP connection"
→ Read: skills/network-framework-ref.md
User: "Should I use NWConnection or NetworkConnection?"
→ Read: skills/network-framework-ref.md
User: "My app was rejected for using HTTP connections"
→ Read: skills/networking-diag.md (ATS compliance)
User: "App Store says I'm using UIWebView"
→ Invoke: networking-auditor agent (deprecated API scan)
User: "Check my networking code for deprecated APIs"
→ Invoke: networking-auditor agent

Heads up: 未限定 allowed-tools,默认拥有全部工具权限。
The current SKILL.md does not define a fixed output example. Delegate to the appropriate Cursor subagent when this router calls for a specialized auditor.
