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-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 6d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 260 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

iOS Development Skill

Quick orientation

Before anything else, identify:

  1. UI framework → SwiftUI / UIKit / mixed?
  2. Architecture → MVVM / TCA / VIPER / Clean / MVC?
  3. iOS target → iOS 16 / 17 / 18? (affects API availability)
  4. Task type → new feature / debug / refactor / architecture / performance / release?
  5. Graphics intensity → стандартный UI / средняя 3D / тяжёлая графика / Metal?

Если задача связана с Metal, GPU, рендерингом, шейдерами, TBDR, MetalFX, GPU profiling, frame pacing, PSO, heaps, ICB, MTLIO → читать references/metal-graphics.md первым.

Then read the relevant reference file before writing code.


Reference files — read when needed

Topic File When to read
SwiftUI pipeline references/swiftui.md SwiftUI views, state, bindings, modifiers, animations
UIKit pipeline references/uikit.md UIViewController, Auto Layout, delegates, storyboards
Architecture references/architecture.md MVVM, TCA, VIPER, Clean, Coordinator
Networking references/networking.md URLSession, async/await, REST/GraphQL, auth
Data persistence references/data.md CoreData, SwiftData, UserDefaults, Keychain, FileManager
Navigation references/navigation.md NavigationStack, Coordinator, deep links, sheets
Performance references/performance.md Instruments, memory, launch time, rendering
Metal & Heavy Graphics references/metal-graphics.md Metal, GPU рендер, TBDR, PSO/heaps/argument buffers, ICB, MTLIO, MetalFX, терморегуляция, профилирование GPU

iOS version matrix (API availability)

Feature Min iOS
SwiftUI iOS 13
async/await iOS 15
NavigationStack iOS 16
SwiftData iOS 17
@Observable macro iOS 17
RippleEffect, ScrollView phases iOS 18

Always check target before using newer APIs. Use #available guards for backward compatibility:

if #available(iOS 17, *) {
    // SwiftData or @Observable
} else {
    // fallback
}

What ships with it

8 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.
