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-swift-development 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-api.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

iOS Swift Development

Table of Contents

Overview

Build high-performance native iOS applications using Swift with modern frameworks including SwiftUI, Combine, and async/await patterns.

When to Use

  • Creating native iOS applications with optimal performance
  • Leveraging iOS-specific features and APIs
  • Building apps that require tight hardware integration
  • Using SwiftUI for declarative UI development
  • Implementing complex animations and transitions

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

import Foundation
import Combine

struct User: Codable, Identifiable {
  let id: UUID
  var name: String
  var email: String
}

class UserViewModel: ObservableObject {
  @Published var user: User?
  @Published var isLoading = false
  @Published var errorMessage: String?

  private let networkService: NetworkService

  init(networkService: NetworkService = .shared) {
    self.networkService = networkService
  }

  @MainActor
  func fetchUser(id: UUID) async {
    isLoading = true
    errorMessage = nil

// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Use SwiftUI for modern UI development
  • Implement MVVM architecture
  • Use async/await patterns
  • Store sensitive data in Keychain
  • Handle errors gracefully
  • Use @StateObject for ViewModels
  • Validate API responses properly
  • Implement Core Data for persistence
  • Test on multiple iOS versions
  • Use dependency injection
  • Follow Swift style guidelines

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md 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.
