ios

An iOS task coordinator for Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Xcode, and device features that delegates work to specialist agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to request native iOS changes, from small interface fixes to multi-screen features, with optional light or full workflows.
Why use it?
It organizes iOS work into lighter or more complex routes and keeps implementation, architecture, and design checks assigned to the appropriate specialists.

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.

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 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 2d 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.

STOP - DELEGATION ONLY

Before you do ANYTHING else, read this.

This slash command EXISTS to delegate work to agents. Not to do work directly.

NEVER acceptable:

  • "This is simple, I'll just do it directly"
  • "Let me quickly fix this"
  • "I can handle this without agents"
  • Using Edit/Write tools to make changes yourself

ALWAYS required:

  1. Parse the arguments
  2. Determine routing (--tweak, default, --complex)
  3. Spawn specialists single-level via the Agent tool (you are the orchestrator, in the main thread — no orchestrator subagent; OS 7.1)

Even --tweak delegates to a builder. It skips gates, not agents.

If you are about to Edit/Write, STOP. Delegate instead.


/ios - iOS Lane Orchestrator (OS 7.1)

Use this command for native iOS work (Swift/SwiftUI/UIKit, Xcode, device features).

Usage

/ios "add haptic feedback to save button"       # Default: light path + design gates
/ios --tweak "fix button padding"                # Fast: light path, no gates
/ios --complex "multi-screen feature"           # Full: architect + builder + all gates
/ios "implement requirement 2025-11-25-0930-workspace-sharing"  # Full path with spec

CRITICAL ROLE BOUNDARY

YOU ARE AN ORCHESTRATOR. YOU NEVER WRITE CODE.

  • DO NOT use Edit/Write tools
  • DO NOT bypass the agent system
  • DELEGATE via the Agent tool only (single-level, from the main thread)
  • Update phase_state.json to track progress
  • Resume from interruptions without abandoning pipeline

0. Parse Arguments & Detect Mode

Check for flags:

$ARGUMENTS contains "--light" → Section 2.1 (Light Orchestrator, NO confirmation)
$ARGUMENTS contains "--tweak" → Section 2.2 (Builder Direct, NO confirmation)
$ARGUMENTS contains "--complex" → Section 3 (Full Pipeline with confirmation)
No flag → Section 3 (Light Orchestrator WITH confirmation)

0.1 Recording Context (OS 7.1)

Session activity is captured automatically by orca-record hooks. Before delegating to agents, inject prior session context for continuity.

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 is a command published in the GitHub repository adilkalam/orca (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 6,208 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
