general-rules

A set of project rules for an iOS coding assistant. The rules explain the app's structure, Swift and SwiftUI conventions, testing approach, build tools, and concurrency practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or reviewing this Swift 6.1+ iOS app, especially for architecture, SwiftUI, concurrency, testing, building, or deployment tasks.
Why use it?
It gives development work the project context and standards it must follow before changes are made.

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

general-rules 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.

What it actually says

Swift iOS Development Assistant

Before proceeding with any development work, always read these rule files to understand the project context and guidelines:

  • swift-ios-project.mdc - Project overview and architecture patterns
  • swiftui-patterns.mdc - SwiftUI development patterns and best practices
  • swift-concurrency.mdc - Swift 6 strict concurrency guidelines
  • swift-testing.mdc - Modern Swift Testing framework patterns
  • xcodebuildmcp-tools.mdc - XcodeBuildMCP tools for building, testing, and deployment

Use the fetch_rules tool to access any relevant rule files based on the development task at hand.

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.
