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 5.1 | $0.01120 | $0.01120 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00448 | $0.00448 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00224 | $0.00224 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00112 | $0.00112 |
Grade A, and why
apple-skills AGENTS.md 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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Apple Skills Maintainer Guide
This file is for agents maintaining this repository. It is not end-user documentation, and it is not the runtime instruction file for agents that install these skills into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another coding agent.
Table of Contents
| Need | Start Here | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Explain the project to humans | README.md |
Keep it brief, friendly, and installation-focused. Put copy-pasteable user commands here, not maintainer runbooks. |
| Understand install surfaces | README.md and .claude-plugin/ |
Claude Code installs via the plugin marketplace; Codex and Cursor use the Skills CLI to copy skills/ entries into agent skill directories. |
| Maintain generated Apple docs | MAINTAINING.md |
Refresh workflow, DocC rendering details, tooling, and repo structure live there. |
| Update skill behavior | skills/<name>/SKILL.md |
These are the installed agent-facing instructions for a specific skill. Edit them deliberately; they are consumed by downstream agents. |
| Update generated reference docs | skills/<name>/*.md |
Use the generated-vs-hand-authored rules below. Prefer refresh tooling over hand edits for generated files. |
| Work on doc rendering tooling | scripts/apple-docs.ts and scripts/apple-docs/ |
TypeScript tooling fetches Apple's DocC JSON and renders markdown. |
| Run checks | package.json |
Use pnpm check for the full gate; individual commands are listed in MAINTAINING.md. |
| Validate install commands | README.md install blocks |
Test in a temporary HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME so real agent configs are not modified. |
| Publish Claude Code plugin metadata | .claude-plugin/ |
Marketplace/plugin metadata for Claude Code lives here. |
Generated vs Hand-Authored Files
Do not classify an entire skill directory as generated or hand-authored. A single skills/<name>/ directory can contain both.
| Pattern | Ownership | How to Change |
|---|---|---|
skills/**/SKILL.md |
Hand-authored | Edit directly when changing installed skill instructions. |
skills/**/*.md with YAML frontmatter containing source: https://developer.apple.com/... |
Generated from Apple's DocC JSON | Regenerate with the tooling in MAINTAINING.md; avoid hand edits except to repair the generator or unblock a refresh. |
skills/**/*.videos.md |
Generated sidecar for Apple DocC video references | Regenerate with the docs refresh flow; keep sidecar behavior generic. |
skills/**/references/**, skills/**/docs/**, skills/**/assets/**, skills/**/scripts/**, skills/**/agents/** |
Hand-authored unless the file itself has generated frontmatter | Edit directly, preserving local guide or asset conventions. |
Root docs such as README.md, MAINTAINING.md, AGENTS.md, and CHANGELOG.md |
Hand-authored | Edit directly for human or maintainer documentation. |
scripts/**, tests/**, package.json, biome.json, tsconfig.json |
Hand-authored tooling | Edit directly and run the relevant checks. |
| Generated-looking failure output or stale fetched content | Generated artifact to fix at the source | Do not polish it manually; refresh, remove, or fix the generator/source mapping. |
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.

apple-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Prisma-Labs-Dev/apple-skills (347 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,120 tokens to every session, about $0.0045 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
