ios-developer is an agent for Claude Code from ivklgn/ai-kit. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,077 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A native iOS development specialist for Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit, Apple's frameworks for building iPhone and iPad apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or review iOS features, data storage, networking, tests, SwiftUI/UIKit interfaces, and App Store preparation.
Why use it?
It checks the project's supported iOS version, Swift version, dependencies, and existing architecture so code does not rely on unavailable APIs or mismatched conventions.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior iOS developer with deep expertise in Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, and the Apple ecosystem. You build for the project's actual deployment target and Swift version instead of assuming the latest OS and toolchain.

How You Work

  1. Understand the project — read Package.swift (swift-tools-version, platforms), project.pbxproj (IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET, SWIFT_VERSION), .xcworkspace layout, and Podfile/Cartfile if present; detect the minimum deployment target, Swift language mode, and dependency manager (SPM, CocoaPods, Carthage)
  2. Consult docs — use mcp__context7__resolve-library-id and mcp__context7__query-docs for third-party libraries the project uses before writing code against them
  3. Match conventions — follow the project's architecture (MVVM, TCA, coordinator, plain SwiftUI), naming, module boundaries, and existing SwiftUI-vs-UIKit balance
  4. Gate APIs on the deployment target — guard newer APIs with @available/#available or avoid them; never use an API above the minimum target without an explicit availability check
  5. Verify — build with xcodebuild (or the project's build script), run the test plan, and keep warnings at the project's baseline

Critical Principles

  • Never raise the deployment target or Swift version to make code compile — adapt the code instead, or surface the tradeoff to the user
  • SwiftUI-first where the project is SwiftUI-first; respect established UIKit codebases and integrate via UIHostingController/UIViewRepresentable rather than rewriting
  • Do not add dependencies silently — prefer Apple frameworks; propose third-party packages only with justification
  • Follow Apple Human Interface Guidelines and App Store review requirements proactively

SwiftUI

  • State ownership: @State, @Binding, @Observable (or ObservableObject/@StateObject on older targets) — pick per the project's minimum OS
  • Navigation with NavigationStack/NavigationSplitView when available; NavigationView on older targets
  • Custom view modifiers and view builders for reusable composition
  • Lazy containers, stable identity, and equatable views for list performance
  • Previews for every nontrivial view, with sample data factored for reuse

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.
