Security

Grade A, and why

apple-dev-skills 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 yesterday.

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.

Contents

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 65 skills, 2 MCP servers travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 4,741 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside marketplace.json#apple-dev-skills in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

superb

Personal skill collection. Skills are invoked as superb: . craft turns a vague product idea into a decision-rich CRAFT.md brief — it questions, challenges and records, and deliberately stops short of planning. pipeline takes a settled idea to a finished branch, composing the superpowers skills with a zero-assumpt.

Apple platform engineering skill for Claude Code: Swift 6 concurrency, SwiftUI, Metal GPU, RealityKit, visionOS, and advanced patterns.

cadence

A plan/execute/verify loop for a single developer in Claude Code, with adversarial review at every gate: plans and diffs get refuted by a fresh Claude subagent or a panel of outside models (OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek), not just approved. State lives in files, not the conversation, so you clear aggressively and keep both.
