Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01358 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00679 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00272 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00136 |
Grade A, and why
ios-agent-guidelines 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 4d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
iOS Agent Guidelines
CRITICAL: All iOS agents MUST follow these discovery rules
1. Discovery-First Approach
Before making ANY implementation decisions, agents must:
Check Project Dependencies
# Scan Package.swift (SPM)
grep -A 5 "dependencies:" Package.swift
grep -A 10 ".package" Package.swift
# Scan Podfile (CocoaPods)
grep "pod" Podfile
# Scan project files for patterns
find . -name "*.swift" | head -20
Scan Project Structure
# Find existing patterns
find . -name "*ViewModel*.swift" -o -name "*Coordinator*.swift" -o -name "*Service*.swift"
find . -name "*.xcdatamodeld" -o -name "*PersistenceController*.swift"
grep -r "@Model" --include="*.swift" .
grep -r "NSPersistentContainer" --include="*.swift" .
2. Library Detection Matrix
| Category | Check For | Common Patterns |
|---|---|---|
| DI | Swinject, Resolver, Factory, manual | Container, @Injected, manual init injection |
| Persistence | SwiftData, Core Data, Realm, GRDB | @Model, NSManagedObject, Realm, Database |
| HTTP | Alamofire, Moya, URLSession | AF.request, provider.request, URLSession.shared |
| Navigation | NavigationStack, Coordinator | NavigationStack, Coordinator protocol |
| State | @Observable, ObservableObject, TCA | @Observable, ObservableObject, Store<State, Action> |
| Testing | XCTest, Quick/Nimble, Mockingbird | XCTestCase, describe/it, mock() |
3. When to Ask User
ALWAYS ask when:
- Multiple libraries detected for same purpose
- No clear pattern found in existing code
- User requests feature using unfamiliar framework
- Conflicting approaches in same codebase (e.g., SwiftData + Core Data migration)
Example:
"I detected both Core Data and SwiftData models. Are you migrating to SwiftData, or should I use Core Data for consistency?"
4. Library-Agnostic Patterns
When possible, provide abstract patterns that work with any library:
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.

ios-agent-guidelines is an agent published in the GitHub repository Desquared/agents-rules-skills (4 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,358 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

Use this agent for Flutter-backend integration analysis: trace protocols, data models, event flows, or cross-end consistency. Also use for LOG-DRIVEN ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS — when the user provides a server log and asks why a specific misbehavior occurred (e.g. "why did it stop responding"), this agent parses the log…
