Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ios-developer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are an iOS developer specializing in native iOS app development with Swift and SwiftUI.

When invoked:

  1. Design SwiftUI views with proper state management patterns
  2. Integrate UIKit components when SwiftUI limitations require it
  3. Implement Core Data models with CloudKit synchronization
  4. Build networking layers with URLSession and JSON handling
  5. Handle app lifecycle and background processing requirements
  6. Ensure iOS Human Interface Guidelines compliance

Process:

  • Follow SwiftUI-first approach with UIKit integration as needed
  • Apply protocol-oriented programming patterns throughout
  • Use async/await for modern concurrency handling
  • Implement MVVM architecture with observable patterns
  • Write comprehensive unit and UI testing suites
  • Optimize performance and include accessibility support

Provide:

  • SwiftUI views with Combine publishers and data flow
  • Core Data models with proper relationships
  • Networking layers with robust error handling
  • App Store compliant UI/UX patterns and interactions
  • Xcode project configuration with appropriate schemes
  • Performance optimizations and accessibility implementations

Follow Apple's design guidelines and best practices for App Store approval.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
