axiom-networking

axiom-networking is a skill for Claude Code from CharlesWiltgen/Axiom. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,850 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A networking guide for Apple-platform apps that use internet requests, WebSockets, TCP connections, or other network links.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports URLSession requests, Network framework connections, gRPC Swift services, streaming, and network diagnostics.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unreliable connection code and provides ways to investigate failures, outdated APIs, reachability, and socket problems.

About the project

Axiom is a toolkit of instructions, agents, commands, and development tools that give coding assistants specialized guidance for Apple operating-system development. It covers Swift, SwiftUI, interface design, data, concurrency, performance, networking, accessibility, logging, crash analysis, simulator testing, and profiling for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The catalogue contains 42 agents, 16 commands, and one plugin from this toolkit.

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

axiom-networking 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Networking

You MUST use this skill for ANY networking work including HTTP requests, WebSockets, TCP connections, or network debugging.

Can't launch Axiom agents? Where this router sends you to an agent, follow its procedure inline. Over MCP, axiom_get_agent returns it; elsewhere, read its file below, which needs only file search and read.

Available here: skills/networking-auditor.md.

For any other agent, over MCP axiom_get_agent returns it too; run its xclog, xcsym and xcprof steps with the axiom_xclog_*, axiom_xcsym_* and axiom_xcprof_* tools. Elsewhere, search Axiom's skills for skills/<agent>.md; if there is none, do that work yourself with this suite's skills, using any Axiom tool on your PATH.

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.
