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

cloudkit-code-review 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 1mo 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.

CloudKit Code Review

Quick Reference

Issue Type Reference
CKContainer, databases, zones, entitlements references/container-setup.md
CKRecord, references, assets, batch operations references/records.md
CKSubscription, push notifications, silent sync references/subscriptions.md
CKShare, participants, permissions, acceptance references/sharing.md

Review Checklist

  • Account status checked before private/shared database operations
  • Custom zones used (not default zone) for production data
  • All CloudKit errors handled with retryAfterSeconds respected
  • serverRecordChanged conflicts handled with proper merge logic
  • CKErrorPartialFailure parsed for individual record errors
  • Batch operations used (CKModifyRecordsOperation) not individual saves
  • Large binary data stored as CKAsset (records have 1MB limit)
  • Record keys type-safe (enums) not string literals
  • UI updates dispatched to main thread from callbacks
  • CKAccountChangedNotification observed for account switches
  • Subscriptions have unique IDs to prevent duplicates
  • CKShare uses custom zone (sharing requires custom zones)

When to Load References

  • Reviewing container/database setup or zones -> container-setup.md
  • Reviewing record CRUD or relationships -> records.md
  • Reviewing push notifications or sync triggers -> subscriptions.md
  • Reviewing sharing or collaboration features -> sharing.md

Output Format

Report issues using: [FILE:LINE] ISSUE_TITLE

Examples:

  • [AppDelegate.swift:24] CKContainer not in custom zone
  • [SyncManager.swift:156] Unhandled CKErrorPartialFailure
  • [DataStore.swift:89] Missing retryAfterSeconds backoff

Review Questions

  1. What happens when the user is signed out of iCloud?
  2. Does error handling respect rate limiting (retryAfterSeconds)?
  3. Are conflicts resolved or does data get overwritten silently?
  4. Is the schema deployed to production before App Store release?
  5. Are shared records in custom zones (required for CKShare)?

What ships with it

4 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.
