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

mobile-app-debugging 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 2 executable files (scripts/scaffold-tests.sh, templates/test-template.js), 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.

What it actually says

Mobile App Debugging

Table of Contents

Overview

Mobile app debugging addresses platform-specific issues, device hardware limitations, and mobile-specific network conditions.

When to Use

  • App crashes on mobile
  • Performance issues on device
  • Platform-specific bugs
  • Network connectivity issues
  • Device-specific problems

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

Xcode Debugging:

Attach Debugger:
  - Xcode → Run on device
  - Set breakpoints in code
  - Step through execution
  - View variables
  - Console logs

View Logs:
  - Xcode → Window → Devices & Simulators
  - Select device → View Device Logs
  - Filter by app name
  - Check system logs for crashes

Inspect Memory:
  - Xcode → Debug → View Memory Graph
  - Identify retain cycles
  - Check object count
  - Monitor allocation growth

Common iOS Issues:

App Crash (SIGABRT):

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Follow established patterns and conventions
  • Write clean, maintainable code
  • Add appropriate documentation
  • Test thoroughly before deploying

❌ DON'T

  • Skip testing or validation
  • Ignore error handling
  • Hard-code configuration values
Files

What ships with it

6 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.
